Swing Copters is a 2014 action video game released for Google Play and App Store on August 21, 2014. It was developed by Dong Nguyen, a Vietnamese game developer best known for Flappy Bird (2013). The player controls a character wearing a helmet with helicopter rotors, and the player changes the direction of the character by tapping the screen.[4][5][6]
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. 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.
If the player gains more than four medals: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, new characters unlock.
