Flappy Vampire
Read full descriptionHide full description
One tap to fly. One mistake to fall. Enter the night of Flappy Vampire, an arcade flying adventure through shadowy forests, cathedrals, ruins and gothic creatures. Tap to climb, dodge moving obstacles and collect fragments as the speed increases. At forks, fly up or down to choose between two paths with different opportunities and dangers. During normal flight, light drains your health and physical collisions are fatal unless an applicable temporary protection blocks them. Use the boons you find, learn your enemies’ attacks and avoid curses that can make your next manoeuvre harder. 24 CHARACTERS WITH THEIR OWN IDENTITY Each character has a distinct animation, strengths, weaknesses and an exclusive boon that appears during their flights. The cast brings together vampires, spirits, nocturnal creatures and nobles as unexpected as Sir Teapot or Count Croissant. Noctra and Candleflame are free from the start. Mist, Ember, Umbra and Boreal unlock through play. All 18 premium characters, including Arachnid and Vitrio, can be purchased individually or together in one discounted pack. 28 WORLDS TO EXPLORE The catalogue includes 24 standard worlds and four bonus worlds with special rules. Ten standard worlds and two bonus worlds are included free. The 14 premium standard worlds and both premium bonus worlds can be purchased individually or together in one discounted 16-world pack. Choose where to begin or let the game pick a random starting point from your available worlds. FLIGHT FROM THE COLOSSI Choose an available world, one of three pursuing giants and three starting boons. Escape as the colossus tears through ruins and enemies in its path. Its attacks and your manoeuvres decide how far you get. CHALLENGES, RELICS AND YOUR STYLE Complete five daily contracts and five weekly contracts that rise through six difficulty ranks. Customise your flight with 12 cosmetic trails: one is available from the start and the other 11 unlock with moon seals. Collect up to 60 trophies. Earn eight relics by completing their challenges, then equip one per flight to shape your strategy. Contracts, relics and trails are earned through play, without purchases.
