Swing Copters

 The mobile game market has skyrocketed in the past couple of years.  There have been many popular games like Angry Birds, Clash of Clans and more.  One of the most popular and infamous is Flappy Bird...which I will not be talking about today.  Instead, I will be talking about another game made by the creators of Flappy Bird, Swing Copters.  Is it as frustrating as it's more popular older brother, or not.  Let's dive right into Swing Copters.

There is no story.  You're just some guy with a propeller hat that flies through girders with random hammers on them.  There's no story until the Youtube channel, Lore gets on it.

There are some positives to the game, like Flappy Bird, Swing Copters is incredibly addictive.  You want to keep playing the game over and over again.  It's an aspect that makes many apps popular today.  Although, I wouldn't get hooked on the game a lot like those crazy people that get into the thousands.  Overall, pretty addictive.

There are negatives as well.  First off, I want to point out that a lot of people bash Flappy Bird for it's difficulty, honestly I think it's a good level of difficulty that is sort of like classic N.E.S. difficulty.  Swing Copters is a bit overboard with it's difficulty.  For starters, it takes a bit of getting used to the controls.  Second, the hammers are bit too much.  It's already hard to use the controls at the start, and now you throw in hammers to torture us.  Also, the hammers will be off screen sometimes and you can't see them, so you'll be doing good and them hidden hammer comes in.  When you get used to the controls it gets easier, but that's due to getting good at the game, at the start, it's annoying with the hammers.

Overall, Swing Copters is a challenging game.  It is entertaining for the challenge and for those people that love games that torture you like Cat Mario for example, but other than that it's a tad bit frustrating.  Thanks for reading, and remember to keep ranting n' raving.
