And we thought Flappy Bird was hard. Welcome to the real world.
EDIT: After 5+ minutes of gameplay I can't say with certainty that it is possible to beat the first level. :) Here are some initial thoughts. Your Copter Koopa accelerates in the x-axis and travels linearly in the y-axis. Therefore I find myself tapping way more frequently than in flappy bird, which was just one well timed tap per level. Tapping multiple times per level keeps your speed on the x-axis to a minimum.
The margin of error is razor thin and I think most casual gamers will get frustrated before they get addicted. Therefore, it won't be as popular as Flappy Bird, but that was pretty much a given from the start.
The way I figured it out was one tap sends you left and up, two taps sends you right and up, etc. so you have to keep alternating really fast, or you'll hit a wall.nnThe tricky part is keeping track of which direction you're currently headed and knowing when to NOT tap, in order to change your trajectory

@nbashaw I can't logically keep track if the number of taps are even or odd. It needs to be a feel thing... Then again, my high score is 2 so don't take my word for it. :P
Dong Nguyen is a marketing genius. I don't play Flappy Birds anymore but it will forever live on page 5 of my iPhone. I wonder if he'll take Swing Copters down from the App Store, too. :)
Also, if you love frustration, try Timberman.
@rrhoover either I'm too old or i'm just plain terrible - but it took me 15 minutes to just get past level 1. Dong Nguyen's complex simplicity is what makes him and ultimately Swing Copters a winner.
Very disappointed. They raised the point of frustration to a level that make the game unplayable. Will get to top ranks because of the buzz but won't get a fraction of the success of flappy bird
Funny so many people tried to copy the style and gameplay of FB a she drops this like no problem. Will make money. Probably the most important indie dev on planet right now.
Trying to play this since last one hour and all I got is a ONE. Its difficult for sure, have to say it makes me want to play Flappy Bird again... hmmm.
