Want to play a more expensive, less fun version of Flappy Bird? I didn’t think so.

I have reviewed some bad games over the last couple of years. Sadly though, none of them compare to Flapp & Zegeta, a truly bad Flappy Bird clone.
As a one button game, you would think that playing Flapp & Zegeta would be easy enough to manage. However, everything has a heavy feel to it, which means you really need to jam that button to stay on top of your game, which isn’t fun. To add insult to injury, the game will speed up every time you pass five walls. This makes for super short rounds and a constant stream of frustration.
Flapp & Zegeta wants to do more than a Flappy Bird and its countless clones, but in doing so, they it loses that simplistic, addictive charm. The game is filled with mysterious coins and a bar that slowly fills up at the top of the screen. Their purpose is never explained, though I assume it is somehow tied to the silly story. You are a bird who has to save his space-traveling owner from aliens. I found myself trying to meet the objectives, but it was ultimately pointless. Due to the broken physics, this overly silly quest would never see its overly stupid conclusion.
Did I mention that the game looks horrible too? The style is kind of thrown together. Atari-esque text gives everything shape, while you look at a clip art characters and grey, blocky clip art walls. The music is extremely grating as well and, after listening to it for the 20th time, I had enough.
Flapp & Zegeta is the game nobody asked for. It tried to make Flappy Bird more complex, but it failed in every way possible. The terrible presentation and the broken physics are one thing, but losing what makes Flappy Bird fun is unforgivable. While it is unusual for me to mention a price, the developers felt it was necessary to charge $4.99 for this. Well, you get nothing. Good day sir!
