Flappy Returns Wrong Way – Original Classic Bird Game

The last time we looked at Flappy Bird, he was dodging pipes with friends, or possibly fulfilling his lifelong dream of cosplaying other animals.

And now it’s time for another.

Today, I’ve been asked to take a look at Flappy Returns Wrong Way (full title: Flappy Returns Wrong Way – Original Classic Bird Game). Like others we’ve looked at, this one is traditional Flappy Bird gameplay with another twist that ensures it isn’t identical to the classic game. According to the gameplay screen, it considers itself both a remake of and an homage to the original Flappy Bird.

With a name like Flappy Returns Wrong Way, you can probably guess what this one’s gameplay twist is.

Go on, guess. I’ll wait.

…

If you guessed “the bird is flying in the other direction,” you’re correct. While most Flappy Bird games have you control the bird as he flies from the left side of the screen to the right, Flappy Returns Wrong Way has you start from the right side of the screen and fly toward the left.

It isn’t exactly the wrong way, since everything else is also flipped to match, but it is the opposite of the way the bird usually flies.

Aside from that, the basic gameplay is what I’ve come to expect from games styled after Flappy Bird. You tap to flap the bird’s wings, and you try to fly in between as many pairs of vertical pipes as possible. If you hit the pipes or the ground, it’s game over, and the goal is to try to beat your high score by getting further next time.

When it comes to Flappy Bird games, the simplest changes seem to be the most common. One has multiple characters while another changes the direction of flight. Who knows what we might see in the future? Upside down Flappy Bird?

To all the Flappy Bird fans out there, I have a question. What makes one stand out from the other Flappy Bird clones? How does a little twist like this, where you’re flying in the opposite direction, affect your feelings toward the game? Does it make it more difficult, because it isn’t the way you’re used to looking at it? Does it make it stand out enough to catch your attention?

Flappy Returns Wrong Way – Original Classic Bird Game doesn’t change the Flappy Bird formula a lot, but it swaps directions so you fly from right to left instead of left to right, with traditional Flappy Bird gameplay.
