Synopsis

RETRY puts you in control of a loop-the-looping, 16-bit airplane. Master the one-touch controls and navigate your way through treacherous obstacles with hair-raising stunts. It wont be easy so get ready to RETRY!





Gameplay

This game came from the creators of angry birds and right off the start you can tell the similarities between this game and flappy bird. Though this is a similar game to flappy bird it adds many more components to the game which makes it incredibly fun and addictive to play. In this game you control a plane that has to get from point A to point B basically. On the way you will run into checkpoints from time to time, but they are not unlocked so easily. You will have to either buy the checkpoints for one coin or watch an ad in order to unlock them. You might think this game sounds easy to play, but you are definitely wrong. Controlling the plane is definitely an obstacle as it is very hard to learn. Simply letting go of the screen for a split second will make your plain dive bomb into the ground which will be game over for you. Not only that, but holding the screen or tapping the screen makes your plain shoot straight up into the air which can be troublesome at times. The number of retries in this game are saved and at the end of every level you are rated by a 3 star point system. I might make it sound incredibly hard, but it's a challenge that is extremely fun to take. Once you get the controls down this game will be a blast. Levels are not random so you can practice them if you please. There are tons of levels to play which can offer hours worth of gameplay. Level design is amazing with many new challenges appearing every level making it incredibly fun to play. The songs in this game are pleasing to listen to while playing which I love as well. Overall, this is probably one of the few challenging games on the marketplace and I think this is also one of the best.





Graphics

This game has outstanding graphics for an app which I think is awesome. This game features 2d 16-bit graphics which surprisingly fits well with this game. Not that many people will like the old retro graphics, but it really does remind me of the many games I used to play as a kid. This game is played from a side-scrolling view which really lets you look at the environment around you as you play. The environment changes throughout the game which does look very nice. From one moment you can be flying on an open field filled with grass, and the next you can be in a cold and icy arctic area. Levels look amazing when playing and have tons of detail. Objects have smooth and awesome animations to them which look really nice as well. What I also like about this game is that when you die and respawn you can see little transparent planes left around showing where you had died before. The colors in this game do look excellent as well. Overall the graphics are great and I really do like the old retro feel that they introduced into this game.

Controls

The controls in this game are pretty hard to get used to and are not something for you to learn in only a couple of hours. This game uses physics to pull to make flying a bit more challenging to pull off. Holding the screen will make your plane do loops in the air. Tapping can make the plane fly at a smooth and level pace, but it doesn't always work out. And finally letting go of the screen entirely will begin to make your plane descend which could be fatal. Flying is a challenge by itself so the countless obstacles Rovio throws your way makes this game pretty frustrating, but fun at times. Yes the controls are challenging, but that's what makes this game incredibly addicting and fun because beating levels actually makes you feel good knowing it took a lot of skill to do it. Overall, I think the controls are perfect for this game as it adds just the right amount of difficulty to make the game incredibly fun.
