The creator of Flappy Bird is set to release a new game this Thursday on the Appstore, according to Touch Arcade/Mashable.
Ironically, Swing Copters has been compared to The Helicopter Game created by David McCandless in 2000. Its creator even tweeted about the similarities, calling it "another rip of my helicopter game."

Note to self; Better get my "FlappyFlippyFloppySwingyBirdyFishyCoptery" game out ASAP!
PS. Has anyone made a template yet?![:\](http://forums.gamesalad.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/confused.png ":\")
It’s not a bug – it’s an undocumented feature
Son of a peep!!! Lol I started working on a idea like that 2 days ago I thought it was unique but I can't seem to get the walls to come downwards
Ketchapp has this mechanic in amazing brick, but since its the creator of flappy bird releasing this game, this will probably take of like a spacerocket
This is just sad that some developers are taking the chance and cash in on Swing Copters. I think people are going, "oh if i say it is a clone of my game, my game will also be noticed and downloaded".
Can't wait for the release!
my game is not a clone if it has nothing to do with swinging objects?:L i dont need to copy others as i do this for fun its not a full time job.
This is just Flappy Bird rotated 90 degrees, with some vaguely swinging objects added. It'll be successful because of where it's coming from, but it does imply that he's somewhat of a one trick pony.
With luck people will recognise this is just more of the same and we'll get a new smash hit game that's actually interesting.

Wow, did not know that
Seems a weird distinction, though. A started discussion is also a comment

Lol -- It's the same game as Flappy Bird..I hope he's ready to pull this one when it becomes "too addicting."

The game looks fun, but it's just flappy bird but sideways
If this game was being released by any other person, it would not have even been noticed.
Bring on the clones... who has the template?
Not to worry. The lemmings if the world will just love this regardless of quality. Simply because of the brand name behind it. Morons will never learn!!
Well, It's a Vertical Flappy Bird but with much more creative than any flappy bird clone!
I think the guy knows how make addictive games!
I think I'll try to create a Flappy Copters game tonight, I've just made it a vertical flappy bird and it works although the movement side to side needs a bit of testing. Now to create some new art and maybe add some swinging things
How much for the template GameWizard?
I've made a working version with the working swings. I just don't fully understand how the character is supposed to move; is it supposed react the same every time, or more if you hold it down for a few seconds?
@iKandy Sorry, I'm not putting the template up for sale. I'm not exactly sure how the movement is supposed to work in Dong's game and it needs more of a work to be a proper template. Its based off another template (one of the many Flappy Bird ones) so selling this on wouldn't feel right as a portion is someone else's work. I'll add more tonight and see how it goes, I'll offer any help I can on specific parts of creating it once I've finished it, thanks for the interest
P.S I'm sure GShelper and DBA and others will have templates out very soon
Here is my WIP Clone Template @iKandy I wasnt going to bother but couldnt help it...

Not unless I do it while I'm sleep walking
Darren.
I figured out how the movement work, so here's my quick demo I made
It still needs some improvement before anyone should publish it 
It's really laggy when I record, but when I don't it's very smooth!
Ill have it done by the morning @iamcartez
