Flappy Bird was one of the surprises in 2014 as a very difficult game but that had that balance in the difficulty to hook the players to one game after another. This allowed the developer to be well recognized around the world, since in a matter of weeks he was overwhelmed by all the popularity in which he was immersed to even remove the app from virtual stores. Nguyen has then been publishing more video games over time, although none have had the popularity of Flappy Bird, more than enough for a single developer who then has to take care of a big-name game.
Now he has returned to the fore with the Swing Copters part two, a game that had a great technical realization and that followed in the wake of Flappy Bird in terms of gameplay. Above all, in what is the difficulty, something that we find again in this Swing Copters 2 that intends to make us forget about Flappy Bird, although this will be very difficult since it is a video game that is already in the annals of the stories of video games for mobile devices.
Difficulty and nerves
You will need nerves of steel to control that little character with propellers that take him to the skies and that, at the most inopportune moment, can be seen when slamming against the sides of the screen or colliding with some of the obstacles that he will encounter along his way in this new affront as a video game by Nguyen .
Where the difficulty comes in is in the control of the propellers and the character, since we will need a little practice to have full control over it and thus be able to receive points to demonstrate to colleagues and friends what we are capable of through this video game. Flappy Bird himself used this to emphasize the use of points to show and pick acquaintances and thus motivate them to play more and more.
Retro as always
In the graphic and visual aspect we have that so distinctive retro touch of the games of this developer that puts us before some very funny characters. We suppose that due to the gains made with their video games, it is already allowed to integrate designers who have other virtues in the graphics, as demonstrated with Swing Copters, which has a better workmanship in every way.
Another of the virtues of this video game is that adopt part of Crossy Roads in what are the different characters that can be unlocked to extend the life of the video game. These can be achieved when we obtain high scores and we collect the medals that we find along the way. Also, these characters can be unlocked through micropayments for € 0,98.
So a whole arrival in the Play Store after the wait for the update that, supposedly, would come to Swing Copters to improve it but that finally was in borage water.
On the technical side
Swing Copters 2 improves a lot on the first, especially in what they are the graphics, character design and that retro visual style which looks very good now. In the rest, we are facing that game mechanics that shows us that knowing how to choose the balance in the difficulty of a video game is of vital importance for it to be a success.
You also have to keep in mind that you will get nervous when playing this Swing Copters 2, but this is what it is about, that you know how to temper your nerves in order to improve your score.
