Gameplay
Swing Copters gameplay

The easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master gameplay consists of the player's tapping the screen to change the direction of the character.[1] The game has a comparable high score system and is similar to Flappy Bird, but it is even more difficult to control the rapid, horizontal movements of the protagonist. If a player touches an obstacle, the game is over.[2]

Reception

Swing Copters received generally mixed reviews, holding a Metacritic score of 56/100.[3]

Sequel

A sequel, titled Swing Copters 2, was released worldwide on December 16, 2015.[4]
