Swing Copters High Score
Home / Other / Swing Copters. Without skill and a bit of luck your flight will come to a very sudden end at one of the gates or at the hammers that swing right through your way.Just like Flappy Bird this game is a highly addictive blend of fun and frustration, the simple yet extremely hard will keep you hooked for hours and hours. Aug 21, 2014 My high score is one. Both aesthetically and mechanically, Swing Copters is a lot like Flappy Bird.The visuals are low-fi pixel art, and you're once again controlling a tiny dude trying to fly.

Swing Copters is a 2014 arcade video game released for iOS and Android on August 21, 2014. It was developed by Vietnamese video game developer dotGears, best known for Flappy Bird (2013). The player controls a character wearing a helmet with helicopter rotors, and the player changes the direction of the character by tapping the screen.
Gameplay[edit]
The easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master gameplay consists of the player's tapping the screen to change the direction of the character.[1] The game has a comparable high score system and is similar to Flappy Bird, but it is even more difficult to control the rapid, horizontal movements of the protagonist. If a player touches an obstacle, the game is over.[2]
Reception[edit]
Swing Copters received generally mixed reviews, holding a Metacritic score of 56/100.[3]
Sequel[edit]
A sequel, titled Swing Copters 2, was released worldwide on December 16, 2015.[4]

The new game from Dong Nguyen, the guy who made and subsequently killed the global phenomenon called Flappy Bird, is here. It’s called Swing Copters and it’s pretty much the Flappy Bird concept moved to the vertical. Oh, and it’s harder. Aika app. A lot harder. Insanely harder.
It took me 10 minutes to pass the first gate, and I am not even exaggerating. And when I did pass, for a (still current) high-score of 1, it was out of blind luck.
If you ever played Flappy Bird, you’ll feel right at home playing Swing Copters. You have to maneuver a dubious little critter equipped with a helicopter hat through an endless row of gates by tapping on the screen to change the flight direction. 8-bit Mario-style graphics, retro sound effects, dead simple gameplay.
Sounds super easy, but it’s not. You need nerves of steel and excellent eye-hand coordination to pass even the first gate. Anything beyond that, and at least in this author’s eye, you’re a demigod.
Yes, I am sure that with practice and dedication you can smash my personal best of 1, like, this guy proves it (with the iOS version – perhaps the physics are different?)
But at least for me, Dong Nguyen turned up the difficulty dial a few notches too many. I get it – a challenging game is more likely to go viral, and hardcore users will love to brag about their high-scores. But Swing Copters will definitely turn off less committed users.
