Flappy Elections

The General Elections of December 20 are just around the corner, and both the parties and their palm trees, as well as the population in general, begin to feel nervous about what might happen in said elections. To relax the tension of the moment and ironize about the political situation in which we find ourselves in Spain, games like Flappy Elections, a fun title with which to help to the different candidates to reach the Moncloa avoiding all kinds of current problems.

This is a skill game that shamelessly copies the game mechanics of the successful, although almost forgotten, Flappy Bird Of this In this way, the user only has to press on the screen to raise the protagonist in flight, trying to pass through the doors of obstacles to reach an end that never happens. And it is that it is a complicated title, in addition to taking into account that its gameplay is infinite , without a true point of arrival.

The funny thing about Flappy Elections is the obvious political criticism found in the game, for various reasons. The first of these is to be able to elect any of the candidates of the majority parties (PP, Ciudadanos, PSOE and Podemos, as well of CiU) who are already in full campaign to seize power: Rajoy, Rivera, Iglesias or Sánchez ( although Mas is also present) , or rather, their faces, are the stars of this game.The second of the reasons why it can be considered a political satire is its mission, and that is that the player must help these candidates win the electionsavoiding all the trouble along the way. Problems that materialize in the form of obstacles such as cuts or the Catalan independence question Overall, a fun and ironic experience with which to take a new perspective on the current politics of our country.

To play Flappy Elections just press the button “Vote” on the title screen, but not before choosing one of the candidates thanks to the arrows at the bottom of the screen. Candidates well represented by drawings that leave no doubt who they are.After that, the game begins with the duty of fine reflexes and the speed of eye-finger reaction. And the fact is that the title is not exactly easy.

Thus, the usual thing is that the race of these intrepid candidates barely lasts a few seconds before crashing into some “brown” or political problem of the road. In this way, the title bets on the player's determination to want to excel And it is that the personal challenge and the desire to beat their own records make it a game entertaining and addictive, at least for a few hours.

In short, a game that does not surprise in mechanics or graphics, in fact even the sound is missing, offering questions already seen in other more serious titles. However, it is a notable joke about the current politics and the race that the different candidates have won for the government of Spain.Who will win?
