Flappy Bird could stand out for being simple, being inspired by other great games in history, or simply because of its difficulty. But there was something that stood out even more, and that is that it was the best to waste users’ time. Now that Flappy Bird has marked a before and after, the world of games has changed forever. Here are 5 more games to waste time a la Flappy Bird.
Hoppy frog
This is one of those who didn’t spend much time thinking about the name of the game, but at least didn’t try to launch an app with the same name as the one Dong Nguyen removed from the app store. Hoppy Frog is a lot like Flappy Bird, although it is a simpler video game. It has 8-bit style graphics, although we control a frog, which has to eat flying flies. Yes, I know, frogs don’t fly, but it is what it is. You will have to be careful with the sharks and try to travel as far as possible. This video game is completely free.

Squiggle racer
This one does perfectly imitate Flappy Bird. It is a video game whose concept is extremely simple. So much so that the player who sees it thinks that it will be as easy to play as the graphics are simple. Nothing could be further from the truth. All you have to do is complete a single lap of a very simple circuit. Obviously, it is much more difficult than it seems. Accessing some circuits will be free, but to access some others we will have to pay.

Smash cookie
Again, the appearance will completely remind us of the well-known suicide bird game. However, this time we control a cookie, and instead of moving to the right, it is falling down. We are going to find rows of squares, and we will have to move them so that the cookie hits the line where these squares are. It is more difficult to explain than to understand and play, so the best thing is that you click on the link of the application and install it. It is a free application, so it is easier for you to try it.

Expand
We change the third a bit, we go to three dimensions, to find a game that takes place in two dimensions. And it is that, in Expander we control a bar that we can move between two paths, one red and one blue, which are parallel. We can expand or contract this bar to capture cubes or to avoid hitting the limit of the walls. It is a game that appears very simple, but later offers a much greater complexity than it appears. This is paid, and costs 0.99 euros.

Super Hexagon
And I’ve saved the best of all for last. Super Hexagon is one of those video games that makes the difference between simple video games, video games with medium difficulty, difficult video games, and impossible video games. Yes, Super Hexagon is in the latter category. Basically, it is a game of those in which when you manage to master the game perfectly, others will always think that you are incredibly good if they see you play. Of course, mastering Super Hexagon is not easy. The music that accompanies the game is always the same, and it is decisive in making the game so good. We only have two controls, right and left, and we rotate the pointer in the center to avoid colliding with the structures that come towards us. It costs 2.37 euros. But it is a game that is well worth that money. Now, it is only for players willing to overcome challenges.
