Description: FlappyU is a VR game in which you can fly with your own wings like the brave bird we all know you can be! Flap your arms to avoid the tricky obstacles. The more pipes you get through, the harder the difficulty, with pipes moving up and down when you reach 50 points. The magnitude of your arm motion controls how fast you go up. Cooler wing models are unlocked at certain high scores, allowing you to choose from a collection of awesome available wings! You will also compete with all other flappers around the world to be a part of the top 10 flappers on the Best Flappers Global Leaderboard (best high scores) and the Longest Flappers Global Leaderboard (highest number of accumulated points). Try to outdo these high scores and accumulated points! Not only is this game entertaining, but is a great source of exercise too! Make FlappyU part of your daily routine!
Review: There are many Flappy Bird clones for our VR headsets and I still feel ‘Leave The Nest‘ is the best of all of them. Sadly FlappyU VR doesn’t do anything to change my mind. From the off, it is incredibly nauseating, it looks as basic as you will ever see and playing it is harder than anything you will do in VR. All-in-all, this is a mess of a game that needs some serious updating and polish before I could recommend it. Even if this was free (which it isn’t) I would have been telling you to avoid it.
