One tap to fly. One pipe to end it all. How far can you go? Loopy Bird is a pixel-art arcade game about tapping at exactly the right moment. Flap through the gaps, beat your best, and unlock birds that each play in their own way. It's quick to learn, hard to master, and impossible to put down. 24 BIRDS, EACH WITH ITS OWN TRICK - Loopy Bird flies backwards - Crazy Bird scores double - Bounce Bird bounces off the ground and the tops of pipes - Ghost Bird races a replay of your own best run - Gravity Bird turns the whole world upside down every 10 pipes - Hummingbird hovers: hold to rise, let go to drop - Phoenix rises from the flames once per run - Owl slows time, and pipes passed in slow motion score double - Bat flies at night and only sees what its light reaches - Twin Birds: two birds, one tap - Space Bird warps through portals, Cyber Bird blasts pipes, Retro Bird flies in a 4-bit world - ...and more, plus one bird you can never buy: it has to be earned 10 BACKGROUNDS TO PICK FROM Fly over Country Town, Volcano Island and Space Town, or through 7 new worlds: Haunted Hollow, Ember Peaks, Twilight Forest, Flower Garden, Sunny Beach, Orbital Station and Mirror Lake. Each has its own pipes. DAILY CHALLENGE Every day, everyone gets the same bird and the same pipes. Hit the day's target and climb the daily leaderboard. EARN EVERYTHING BY PLAYING Unlock birds with your best run, or keep a daily streak going and every pipe adds up. 31 Game Center achievements and a leaderboard for every bird. Every earnable bird can be earned by playing. If you'd rather not wait, the store has single birds, team packs and the Loopy Pass, which unlocks every bird and background in the game. Buy once, keep forever. No subscriptions. Made by one person who has been flapping since the beginning. Thanks for playing.

About

Chippyn

Features
Read full description

Chippyn is a real-time party game designed to play with a live audience; the kind of thing a speaker can pull up on a conference screen and get an entire room playing together in seconds. The rule is simple: pick the lowest number that nobody else picks. Whoever's hosting shares a 4-character round code, everyone in the crowd joins on their own phone, and each player spins the dial to lock in a guess anywhere from 1 to 999 before the clock runs out. Once the round locks, every pick is revealed together. The lowest number that only one person chose wins. It's part bluffing, part reading the room: too obvious a pick and someone else beats you to it; too clever and you might be the only one who wandered off the beaten path. Rounds move fast, with a live countdown through picking, locking, and results, so it's built for a quick, high-energy break between sessions, a shared moment for a room full of strangers, not just a two-player game.

Verdict

The call
