Flip or Fail is a physics based 3D stunt game where you control a character doing mid-air somersaults and trying to make a safe landing. The game is all on timing, movement control and distance judgement before each jump.
The concept of Flip or Fail is simple: launch your character flying into the air, give him a few spins and land him safely at a predefined spot. But the looks might be deceiving. Each parkour jump is a fraction of a second decision. You have to judge the distance, the height of the landing pad, the time of the spin, and last but not least, the angle of the landing.
The beauty of the game comes from its precise physics. You can't just fly up and guess. You have to control it. Too much spinning will send your character plummeting headfirst to the ground, turning the explosive jump into an irreversible "catastrophic" fall. Conversely, too few spins and you'll fall flat on your back like a pancake. The game is built on fascinating tension: the faster you spin, the more point you get, but the chance of falling increases dramatically.
Your Flip or Fail experience is not confined to one place. You will perform on at least 6 distinct acrobatic venues, including serene parks, harbours and schoolyards, high-rise rooftops, construction sites and open fields. Every place has its own style and obstacles and you always have to adapt.
To make the experience more diverse, the game includes three different game modes:
Each successful landing brings you closer to unlockable items. The game features over 10 male and female characters (some sources say 14) that you can collect through completing missions, collecting stars, and daily logins. This gives them a different sensation of progress, where each level is now a series of jumps and not just a single hop.
The Ragdoll physics mechanism is what really makes Flip or Fail stand out, besides the challenge. Failures are not the end; they are hilarious moments of entertainment. If you miscalculate the timing and your character goes crashing to the ground you will see a really vibrant and... funny "spinning fall". This will decrease frustration and encourage gamers to try again.
The character will bend their body, prepared to leap.
Throws the figure up in the air.
In the air, pressing and holding the character makes him do spins. The more you hold the more spins you get.
Stops spinning, repositions body for a safe landing.
Flip or Fail offers easy but hard gameplay that will keep you entertained for hours. Always test your flip talents and find the perfect landing.
