ZX Globus vs Flappy VS Bats

Globus, the most sophisticated robot in the universe, has been put under your control in order to rid the "Xenon" planet of its total destruction. To achieve it you must restore the energy level of all sectors of the central reactor. Avoid the robots that the enemy sends to sabotage your mission. Deactivate the bombs before it's too late! Globus was developed for the popular ZX Spectrum computer in 1987 and remained unpublished until its release in 2017, 30 years later! Now you can enjoy this new version of that old game, which retains the same graphics, music and sound effects than the original ZX Spectrum version, and improves movement, score and gameplay in general.

Drag a bird around an arena of green pillars and drop bombs on the bats. Your score is how long you survive, to a tenth of a second. Flappy VS Bats first came out in 2017. Version 2.0 rebuilt it from scratch, and 2.1 added support for iPhone Duo. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag anywhere on the arena to fly. The bird follows your finger's movement, so your finger never covers it. • The pillars are walls for you and for the bats. • Fly off one edge and you come back on the opposite edge. Each crossing costs 5 coins. With fewer than 5 coins the edges are walls and the dashed border turns solid red. Bats cross for free. • Tap the bomb button, or double-tap the arena, to drop a bomb. A bomb costs 5 coins and goes off after 1 second, with a countdown on the bomb. Its flames run up to 3 cells along the corridors, stop at pillars and kill the bats they touch. They can kill you too. • You can have up to 2 bombs on the arena at once. • Pick up coins, and shields that absorb one hit from a bat or a flame. FOUR KINDS OF BAT • Hunters follow the corridors toward you. • Wanderers pick their own way. • Blockers hang in one spot and block that corridor for a while. • Sweepers fly straight across after a warning arrow. Touching a bat ends the run unless you have a shield. Bats bump into each other without harm. The longer you last, the more bats come and the faster they fly. COINS New players start with 50 coins. You earn 1 coin for every 2 seconds you survive, 1 for each bat a bomb kills and 1 for each coin you pick up. Coins pay for bombs, edge crossings and birds. Your coin total is on screen during the game. BIRDS Cardinal and Blue Jay cost 150 coins, Parrot and Flamingo 250, Crow and Snowy 400. The Legends Pack adds Golden, Phoenix, Ghost and Robo, each with a trail. You can also watch an ad to fly a Legend for one run. Birds are cosmetic.
