- I’ve never played flappy bird but I did spend some time /w flappy goat.
- Mechanics wise this is more of the same.
- Ya got one button and all it does is push your inky gelatinous arse up.
- The rest is up to gravity and your ability not to sling your controlla into the wall.
- It’s hard bordering on because FK YOU hard / malicious and you know what, I can respect that.
- Yeah, sometimes I Like getting a little angry because anger gets shite done.
- Well, for 30 minutes because that’s where I flapped out.
- Might go back to it next time I’m in need of higher blood pressure because Odium to the Core absolutely delivers that.
- It’s one of those games that gives you something beatable if you just get your shite together.
- Dig the art style, simple to pick up, and $3.00.
- No sir, don’t completely hate it.
Jordan
- I disagree with pedro
- I have a seething, irrational hatred of tappy chicken
- I will say this, I actually really like the design of the game . It blends well with the industrial/techno soundtrackl
- It’s very clear people actually tried to make this game
- It just can’t overcome the boredom these games cause me
Pedro
- I hate flappy bird.
- It’s not completely irrational hatred.
- It’s the going in blind, everytime, and whenever you make progress the game throws more of the same repetitive bullshit and all you can do is tap.
- Well, this game improves on Flappy Bird quite a lot.
- The levels are all finely crafted, the speed based on the music in the background, the play with color.
- This is possibly the best example of the helicopter game Flappy Bird was based on.
- And as such it cements my total, complete and utter “Meh” about the genre.
