Swing Copters 2 has not been available for Vietnamese

Swing Copters 2 was launched recently, which marks the comeback of Dong, after he unexpectedly pulled down Flappy Bird, a blockbuster which made billions of dong from app stores.

However, the topic of discussion on gamers’ forums now is not how difficult Swing Copters 2 is, but why the game has not been available for Vietnamese.

A lot of Vietnamese gamers have not been able to download Swing Copters 2 from App Store,. An expert noted Swing Copters 2 cannot be downloaded to accounts in Vietnam. 

Vietnamese have to register accounts in the US and access the app store reserved for the US market.

Some analysts noted that by blocking downloads to the accounts in Vietnam, Dong seems to be less interested in the Vietnamese market, following arguments about Flappy Bird many months ago.

However, Dong, on his Twitter page, has denied this. He wrote that the new game may appear a bit later. He does not know what the reason is, but said the problems are at the app stores.

Some analysts have said the problem may have originated from language barriers, countries and the fee payment methods.

Regarding the game, experts said Flappy Bird will be another difficult game even for the most experienced gamers.

Swing Copters 2 is the next version of Swing Copters, which Dong first launched into the market last August, after he pulled down Flappy Bird.

With the familiar 8-bit style, players will have to regulate a character with a propeller on its head to help it overcome barriers by clicking repeatedly on the screen. However, this is not an easy task.

Dong said 74 was the highest score he made with the game. Some gamers who tried Swing Copters 2 said they got only one score after 10 attempts.

Like his two previous games, Swing Copters 2 also has an ad banner displayed on screen. To remove the banner, it costs $1.99. 

Swing Copters 2 is available for free on iOS and Android.

Mobile games, which are expected to earn VND1 trillion of the total VND6 trillion in revenue for the game industry this year, are expected to change the face of the game industry in Vietnam.
