Yes, the creator of the frustratingly successful Flappy Bird is back with a game under his belt. And yes, it is the same or more frustrating than the previous one Of course, with a different approach, new characters and somewhat different mechanics, although with the same idea in mind to propose a gameplay addictive but really difficult to master. All the elements to repeat the success of Flappy Bird, although perhaps at a slightly different time in the world of mobile gaming.
This is Swing Copters 2, the sequel to a title that, like Flappy Bird, focused on making pass a character between beams through an infinite level trying to test the player's ability to react. Well, this second title brings a twist to this concept thanks to the experience of the creator of Flappy Bird, which poses a somewhat more complex gameplay due to the speed that the main character reaches, but with interesting social additions.
Its gameplay is simple in concept. The main character has a kind of helicopter on his head that allows him to rise in the sky, but going up to the left or to the right.This direction of advance is decided by the user, who must click on the screen to turn it to one side or the other With this in mind, all you have to do is count on the Calculation skills and the reflexes necessary to make the character pass between beams with hammers that hang and swing from them without colliding with them. Pretty ridiculous and simple as an idea, but really hard to master
Thus, most likely the player will barely survive in the game for more than a few seconds, crashing into the moving elements or against the first beams in each game, and therefore being forced to restart the game over and over again That's where the is generated frustration, but where the game becomes addictive Especially for those players who want to test themselves and overcome their own scores.
What's interesting about this sequel is that, like most casual games of the moment, they feature a large collection of unlockable characters to change the appearance of the protagonist. Something that invites the replayability of the title to prevent frustration from translating into uninstalling the title. In addition, this sequel has a good amount of achievements to unlock, offering different excuses to keep crashing into everything on the screen over and over again and trying to improve game technique.
In short, a title to unsettle and entertain in equal measure. Of course, the time for this kind of games may have passed, being Flappy Bird the maximum expression of this genre. In any case, the title Swing Copters 2 is available for both Android andiOS for freeIt can be downloaded at Google Play Store and App Store Of course, it has in-app purchases to remove the and unlock the second collection of characters in the game.
