Here you will enjoy the pleasure of being a warrior. Fight the mightiest and hardest battle fights of the world in one place. Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, choose to fight back for the glory. It all adds up to a fantastic game world that really draws you in with its pixelated charm.Nobody can hurt you without your permission. The music sounds like it's been taped straight off the score of an early 90s console game (though I'm not accusing Rovio of doing this, just to add!) Sprites and backgrounds are satisfyingly blocky, as are all the menu fonts. RETRY gets the 8-bit look and feel just right. If you make even the slightest contact you'll be reaching for that retry button again. You can't scrape the ground with your wheels or brush the edge of a cloud with a wing.

The controls themselves are straightforward, it's how you use them that's the tricky bit. Keeping your finger held down will perform a loop the loop. You hold your finger anywhere on screen to make the plane gain air and release it to swoop down. The control system in RETRY will be instantly familiar if you've played a Flappy Bird-type game before. Coins are pretty tricky to collect at times, so you'll need to keep replaying levels if you want to get them all. There are coins to collect in the game, which you'll need to unlock later levels, though you can buy these as well. This means that when you crash you don't need to start back at the beginning of the level.

You can unlock retry points by landing in hangars. Looping is very difficult to master, but getting it right is part of what makes the 'retry' button in RETRY so attractive. The wind can whip up and blow the front of the plane up, meaning you need to quickly flip around so you don't crash. These obstacles may be inanimate blocks or clouds, but there are also moving objects, so you need to get your timing just right.īesides just flying straight, you'll need to master the art of performing loop the loops. In RETRY you command a propeller plane which you need to fly as far as possible, avoiding the obstacles that line the flight path.
