Swing Copters Is the Flappy Bird Sequel You've Been Waiting For

Say goodbye to your social life, because your next gaming addiction is on the horizon. The creator of Flappy Bird, the life-ruining side scroller, is back on the scene with a new app called Swing Copters.

Swing Copters (free, iOS), which launched today, looks pretty dang hard. To play the game, tap to control your flight direction and avoid the swinging gates. It's the kind of game that's simple yet mystifyingly challenging (aka the kind of game we love to hate). The app is free, with a $1.29 in-app purchase to remove ads. Apparently, flying with a propeller hat is not as easy as it looks.
