Flappy Bird vs Rise Up
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.
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
