Swing Copters gameplay

The easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master gameplay consists of the player's tapping the screen to change the direction of the character.^[1] The game has a comparable high score system and is similar to Flappy Bird, but it is even more difficult to control the rapid, horizontal movements of the protagonist. If a player touches an obstacle, the game is over.^[2]
