The green band on your altitude gauge is safe air. Below it, spray soaks your feathers; above it, heat melts the wax. Dryness recovers in safe air; melted wax does not. Higher difficulties narrow the band. Impossible starts at 21–39 m and squeezes to 28.5–31.5 m at Naxos. Watch the live limits and follow Daedalus.
THE FLIGHT IS PAUSED

A moment in the air.

Even a myth needs a moment to breathe.

Optional gameplay analytics tell us which difficulties people choose, how far they fly, where their wings fail, and whether they try again. We also measure loading and frame performance.

We use a temporary random ID for this page load. We don’t collect names, email addresses, individual keystrokes, or store IP addresses in gameplay analytics. There are no tracking cookies or IDs that follow you across visits. Cloudflare processes the requests that serve the game.

You can turn this off at any time. It won’t affect the game. Your browser’s Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control settings are respected. Turning this off stops future collection; it does not erase events already sent.
