Flappy Arms

A lot more fun on a mobile device... it's just kind of annoying in VR... not even worth putting on the headset for.

[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] At this point, everyone should at least vaguely remember the insanely popular, $50,00+ a day earning, mobile game from a few years ago called Flappy Bird. It was only up on iOS and Android for a short time until the developer pulled it down, as he deemed it "too addictive". Afterward, phones that came with the game installed sold for tens of thousands of dollars. It truly was one of the most off-the-wall fads, and clone games have been consistent ever since. Queue in Flappy Arms, the first virtual reality clone of Flappy Bird. The goal of Flappy Arms is to make your way through building after building, guiding yourself through the pre-cut holes; if you hit the building itself, it's game over. If you're down for an extra challenge, some buildings even have their doors at the bottom open; beware, as one miscalculated flap will end your entire run. The global Steam leaderboards keep track of your high scores, and you can even put the camera into "spectator mode" so that you can watch the little VR Angry Bird... I mean red bird... fly around. Of course, just like Flappy Bird, the game is challenging. You must determine how fast and with how much force to flap your wings. It's also a good workout that will definitely burn up some calories. However, the environment is one long section of the same town, and other than striving to get a higher score there are no goals. The fun factor tends to ware off a mere 5 minutes in, and there's no real incentive to come back unless you put this in your party game roundup. Even then, there are far more entertaining games to add to your cycle of VR-night party titles. Flappy Arms is a decent effort, and with more polish, features, and challenges, it could become fun and addictive. There also needs to be more than one looping song, as the audio not only gets old quickly, but it becomes irritating.

Только VR, а если нет веара?

Wenn ich ein Vöglein wäre... (getestet mit der HTC Vive) ...dann wäre ich wohl ein Pinguin. In Flappy Arms versuchen wir so lange wie möglich in der Luft zu bleiben ohne zu kollidieren. Dazu flattern wir mit unseren Flügeln um Höhe zu gewinnen. Ziel ist es, durch Lücken in Wolkenkratzern zu fliegen ohne vor die Wand zu klatschen. Und das ist leichter gesagt als getan, da die Lücken nicht nur auf unterschiedlicher Höhe sind, sondern mit der Zeit auch immer kleiner werden. Die Steuerung funktioniert wirklich gut, mit etwas Übung gelingen auch schwierige Flugmanöver, doch trotzdem macht man immer wieder Fehler und ärgert sich über sich selbst... Ok, Flugmanöver ist zu viel gesagt, da wir nur geradeaus fliegen und lediglich die Flughöhe bestimmen. Die Grafik ist sehr simpel gehalten, reicht aber für diese Art Spiel aus. Unseren persönlichen Highscore sowie ein globales Leaderboard motivieren besser zu werden. Auch als Partyspiel sicher zu gebrauchen. Für den Preis kann man sicher nichts falsch machen, auch wenn es kein abendfüllender Dauerbrenner ist, mal just for fun nicht verkehrt.

VR-раннер от первого лица. Берёте на себя роль птички и летите по просторам бесконечного города. Весь геймплей, это уворачивание от различных препятствий. Всё сводится к тому, чтобы набрать как можно больше очков. По первости может и интересно попарить в воздухе, но надолго не хватает. Не рекомендую людям, со слабым вестибулярным аппаратом.

This might be a good game, if there were just a little bit more variety to the visuals. It's flappy bird, but in VR. And you get to flap your arms around like a moron. This might be fun with a group of friends over some beers. But there just isn't any variety to the scenery. That might be fine for the mobile game, but in VR there just needs to be more of an effort put to make the world immersive and fun. Have us flying over barns, cows, fences, roofs, tractors, pigs. with maybe airplanes on top we can crash into or UFOs or what not. Just make it a silly, fun environment where we can flap our wings to get around the obstacles. Something more creative than the same building over and over again but at different heights and at faster speed. That's not fun for more than 2 minutes. It's tiring to flap your wings, at least give us some reason to want to do it. Rate 3/10 Really poor effort, but at least the mechanics work. Maybe the dev will update and add more fun visuals, because the game works.

I actually think it's pretty fun. Not something you're going to get like hundreds of hours out of but it's fun enough that you can show to people new to VR or just leaderboard chase for a bit. For $2 i'd pick it up to add to your vr collection. https://youtu.be/SlNS2lN_F50

Great party game! Surprisingly did NOT make me sick at all, and I get motion sick very easily in VR, cars, planes. One could easily get half an hour to an hour of fun gameplay out of this and longer with friends. Super easy to get into, great for showing friends VR, and hilarious to watch and compete!

Although simple, this game is hilariously fun. I had so much fun flapping my arms all around, best part was trying to figure out how much force or how fast I needed to move to get the right altitude, and it made for some hilarious moments.
