Flappy Bird vs Flip the Gun
Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is one of the most infamous hypercasual games out there. In this game, you need to help the flappy bird make its way through the sky that, for some reason, is covered in green pipes that resemble the ones in the iconic arcade-platformer, Mario.The game was designed to be insanely-easy to pick up - after all, you only need to tap or click to keep the bird afloat. However, playing the game can literally drive you insane with frustration because of how difficult it is. Needless to say, you'll see the "game over" screen a lot more than you'd like to within the couple of minutes you spent in the game... and that's a fact.
Flappy Bird, along with multiple of popular mobile games, helped paved the way for an entirely new genre of games to emerge. The game is definitely more than the hundreds of memes it gave rise to.
Flip the Gun
Flip the Gun is a fun arcade-like action game where you shoot a gun and use its recoil to push the gun upwards into the sky for as long as you can. Utilizing realistic gun physics, the gun may tumble and turn depending on the angle you fire it at. Not to mention, you cannot simply fire the gun as you wish - you only have so many bullets. Although you can still collect more ammo along the way, this can prove to be quite tricky since a recoil-charged gun can be hard to control. There are also power-ups as well. There's, for instance, a blue arrow power-up which will give your gun that extra boost so it can go a little bit higher.The game gives you a score depending on how far you manage to go as well as how well you do (how many coins you collected, for example). Your highest score will then be ranked on the leaderboard alongside other players'.
Overall, Flip the Gun is a surprisingly simple yet intricately complex game that is just so addictive to play. It may not be the next "Flappy Bird" but it comes quite close. The game is free on both Android and iOS.
