Flappy Bird vs Lara Croft: Relic Run
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.
Lara Croft: Relic Run
Lara Croft: Relic Run is a thrilling endless runner game where you get to once again join adventurer extraordinaire, Lara Croft, as she dashes through various ancient ruins in search of valuable artifacts to recover. With simply a swipe, you can make her swan dive off high cliffs or swing across using helpful vines like Tarzan. However, interestingly, you may also encounter ruthless rivals who won't hesitate to shoot you... unless of course, you shoot them first!The best part about this game though is the game's brilliant Curse system. Much like the dreaded "Draw 4" cards in UNO, players can send curses to their friends in order to ruin their run. However, if you managed to survive the curse intact, you will be rewarded with a chance to get sweet, sweet revenge by sending a curse of your own in return!
Featuring gorgeous graphics and a fun and unique gameplay, Lara Croft: Relic Run is not a game that relies too heavily on the popularity of the game franchise it is based on. In fact, if you enjoy endless runner games, you should play this game regardless of whether you knew who Lara Croft is. It's that good!
