4About it

A flying disc is a plastic disc with a curled rim, thrown with a flick of the wrist. It flies like a spinning wing: its curved shape makes the air lift it, and its spin keeps it flat and steady, just as a spinning top stays upright.

Tap it to throw it: it spins fast and flat, tilts into a curve and glides around a loop, like a throw that comes back to you, then settles in its place. Pick its color in the Splash tab. The first plastic flying discs were sold in the late 1940s.
