Easy to learn, difficult to master.” This is the motto on which most current casual video games are based, such as the new Swing Copters , a worthy successor to the well-known Flappy Bird. This sequel is even more complicated than its predecessor, but here we offer you a series of tips so that you can overcome it (or at least get some point).
Like Flappy Bird, Swing Copters combines pixel art with significant difficulty to lift this strange bird in a helicopter cap as high as possible. As we already know, the character flies automatically and we, by pressing on the screen, change the direction in which it flies, left or right, in order to avoid the beams and hammers that continually swing to make us fall.
The problem is that once the character begins to fly and change direction, he accelerates quickly in that direction. So this brings us to the first strategy: pretend that the screen has two buttons . If we alternate our left and right thumbs instead of using only one finger, we associate the movements of the character with our fingers and we are much more comfortable. This directly affects the second strategy: find a rhythm .
In the event that we take too long to change the direction of the Swing Copters character, it will fly practically without control. To avoid this problem, we must try to continuously vary left-right, left-right, so that we stay in the center of the screen and the horizontal movement is as little as possible, thus also avoiding that the hammers hit us. And, one of the keys to beating this game is to anticipate where the hammers will not be .
If you can’t understand it, think of those miniature golf holes with rotating obstacles. To overcome them, we must bear in mind that they move and it takes a few seconds for our ball to reach the hole. With practice, you can learn how long it takes a hammer to complete a turn and thus take advantage of free space . Finally, we must bear in mind that in Swing Copters we do not have time to react at the beginning of the game, that is, once we press the screen we will know that the character will move to the left without seeing the first obstacle.
We hope these tips help you in your quest to get more points. It is quite difficult to get a few dozen, but for now, the highest record is held by an Asian player with 77 points .
