THINGS WE LOST IN THE SNOW, PT 4: RAPTOR COPTER HIT THE IPHONE

As is probably clear by now, my holiday break was surprisingly (and happily — one less device and one less charger in the luggage) dominated by the iPhone, and Flashbang’s Raptor Copter made up a good part of that. Copter promises nothing more than it delivers: a time-limited high-score trial to snare and package as many raptors as possible, with bonus points for stylish acrobatics.

Its tilt-control (with an additional thumb slider for altitude) combined with Unity’s physics engine make it one of the most satisfying side-scrolling experiences on the platform, and while I’m easily lost to the tug of its one-more-go quickrounds, I’m just as lost in its all-time high score table. Seriously, people, I’m struggling to break even 75k and you’re up in the millions? Someone really needs to share video of whatever high-wire magic devilry you’re working, because there’s clearly a massive gap in my technique.
