Get a slow smartphone, Play Swing Copters!


I got to play Swing Copters (made by .GEARS) , and it's more fun than Flappy Bird, maybe because it isn't theme-related, because it was fun how the cute character was flying upwards trying not to be hit by those walls and swinging hammers

It was difficult at first, I was tapping endlessly trying to figure out how this character moves, believing by tapping a lot I would go upwards, like in the Flappy Bird version, but after a few frustrating tries, I got a little of what's going on. You tap once, it goes the other way around, you tap it again, it returns flying at one direction. It was either left or right, always upwards.

Even with that in mind, I got troubled by getting hit by those hammers, and they sure hit you from behind, but then you see it has some kind of movement, as if the cute character was dancing. When you tap the screen you would think it would automatically turn around, it turns around of course, but for a brief moment it still goes on one direction before going to the other direction. That lack of consideration made you collide with the objects and make you lose. Sure it was fun when I got desperate at times that happened.

But then I got the grip out of it and knew the flow of the movement and how I should go. Also it has to be with a certain rhythm, because if you stay at one direction, you may speed up and unable to stop going left when you supposed to go right. The movement is somewhat like a pendulum, tick, tock, tick, tock. You go like that and you have more chance to get a higher score.

But then I was looking at videos, and I saw, that the game went a little bit faster than mine, and then I thought: that's how I was getting more score than others, hehe.

So then it was my smartphone that made this game less stressful than others, I may take longer to get to the same score but I'm getting safer on obtaining it.

And on an Update data: hehe eventually they got Swing Copters to have an update, movement is more easy and obstacles easier to evade. But still, the same speed. If they have that same speed, so do I.

Just something I wanted to say about this game, it's cute, just people need patience to be more comfortable with it. People get influenced on other people, on media, and people are pressured on this fast-paced world. Most normal people aren't as good at videogames and having those apps on this normal world with the enough fame for all to play it, it's like a reaction chain ready to be triggered.
