Swing Copters App Download & Update: 'Flappy Bird' Creator Makes Another Hard Game
Here comes another frustrating and difficult yet addicting game: "Swing Copters."
It's from the same game developer from Vietnam who created "Flappy Bird."
It is easy to determine if a video game is extremely difficult to play, and when the developer has to create an update to make the game less impossible to play you know that's the case, CNET reports.
Perhaps this means that Dong Nguyen, the developer of the mobile game, has learned that there is a limit when it comes to the difficulty in playing a game.
Gamers that have tried the follow up game to the insanely maddening "Flappy Bird" were saying that it was simply too hard to play "Swing Copters."
On Monday, Nguyen released an update to tune up the gameplay and make it more accessible to players that have been irritated and maddened by their consistent failure, allowing them to advance possibly for the first time since the game's release the previous Wednesday.
Nguyen's update makes the character's movement more subtle, which contributes to more chances of advancing in the game. The character's movements in the original version were almost uncontrollable. Gamers still say that this is a difficult game despite the update but at least you can achieve more than 5 points on the first or second play. In the original version, they found that it was truly an impossible challenge to score.
9to5Mac notes that, with the update, the position of the first opening and hammers before the start are no longer seen. The speed and velocity of the helicopter has slowed down a bit.
Nguyen said in his latest tweet that the current high score achieved by players of Swing Copters was 77 after its debut. Hopefully the scores will get higher with the current tweak.
Nguyen said that he tuned the gameplay because people do not find the game entertaining due to its difficulty.
It was universally praised for being one of the most difficult games created in the history of mobile games. Players posted cheeky comments lamenting the fact that they cannot even manage to score a point. They also posted videos of them getting frustrated while playing the game.
Analysts say that it is one of the reasons why the game is so popular, because it was difficult and gamers start to challenge others by word of mouth.
