They take turns finishing a dangerous track filled with foes, hoping to dominate the score table.Your team is making the final preparations. The band are setting up to perform. And your ship - ”The Blue Flamingo” stands ready and waiting in the hangar...The Blue Flamingo is a straight forward, bite size, Shoot em up game created entirely using handmade models. A 32 feet long handcrafted model was built specially for the game, along with countless props and assets that were filmed and photographed. All the effects, rocket flares and explosions were created using firecrackers and other pyrotechnics.Like every other Shmup, this is a game that challenges you to reach the highest possible score. This is made interesting by an economical system that allows you to invest your score in upgrades, which makes earning more score points easier. On the other end, you are rewarded with interest on what is left of your score when you progress to the next level. You have to make a choice - to upgrade and try to regain the score, or rely on your skills to beat the increasingly difficult levels.Use your greed wisely to beat your friends and climb up the score table. b4d347fde0 Title: The Blue FlamingoGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Might and DelightPublisher:Might and DelightRelease Date: 18 Nov, 2014 The Blue Flamingo Download Requirements Curious? Yes... Boring? Yes too... Die, restart, die, restart... No permanent upgrades, not a lot of different enemys, not very good control of the plane... very simple...There is A LOT of older games must better than this. Nothing new under the sun.. Good concept, but the controls are horrible and it doesn't feel polished like a real shooter.. This is a game I REALLY wanted to like, but...The art is gorgeous, the main reason I bought the game without checking ANY reviews. I just dig that handmade look, just what I also loved in The Swapper and The Dream Machine. But where as The Swapper and The Dream Machine are actually great games, with great design, The Blue Flamingo unfortunately isn't, and it's a shame, it really is. The look and the soundtrack had a great foundation, especially from athmosphere point of view, but the game and level design part fails hard. It is just boring to play, unsatisfied. I hate to be this mean with my assumptions, but to me it almost looks like the developers have not played a lot of classic shoot 'em ups, haven't got what makes those games great. The controls feel also somehow a bit off, also collision model. But those are minor gripes compared to the downright bad level design.Buy it for the art, but don't expect to enjoy it more than 10 minutes.. Perfect for those who like to chase the highscores. For me it was all about the art, lovely art!. StoryBlue Flamingo does not try and get fancy with a crazy story about an elite pilot taking on an entire army or a prototype jet that needs to eliminate and evil alien race. The premise is that you are a pilot and you come to shoot some flying objects and get a high score \u2026 so you do. It keeps it short and sweet. Get the high score and compare it to your friends and the world on the leader board.VisualsThis game looks beautiful! There are gorgeous desert landscapes that you fly over with excellent details that you probably miss as you focus on dodging bullets and missiles. The game essentially has 2 levels; rust colored desert landscape and a dark blue night flight. The design gives a very steam punk feel. Almost like you are playing in the world of Lost Exile (Look it up. It is a great series. See pic below). All of the graphics for the bullets, ships, environment and explosions are crisp clean. The simplistic color palette, crisp details and beautiful environments are the highlight of this game.Van ShipAudioThere are two soundtracks in this game. One for each level. They match perfectly with the overall theme. On the rustic southwest level you have some old time guitar rifts that fit right in. The colorful night level has a more upbeat jazz sound track that makes me continually want to dance my ship across the screen when there are no targets. The sound effects are really crisp. I feel like I can hear every nut and bolt ping off the rocks below.ControlsThere is not much to say about the controls in this game. They are simplistic controls that use 1 joystick for navigation with 2 buttons to attack. They were very responsive and need to be as the game gradually progresses from simplistic shooter to bullet hell as you complete each level.GameplayThe gameplay is very simplistic and also very clever. The idea is to get the highest score which in this game is represented through money. You collect money by shooting down aerial objects. You also collect coins when you shoot down \u201cteams\u201d of targets. You get bonus money at the end of each round by testing your skills in target practice. All of this is pretty standard fare for a shooter. Blue Flamingo has one caveat that makes that quest for the highest score that much more interesting. At the end of the level, you have the option of spending your points to upgrade your weapons. By upgrading your weapons you stand a better chance for surviving. The problem is that you just spent a chunk of your score to have a better chance at the next level. You also collect a small amount of interest on your money while playing. So if you choose to improve your plane than you also choose to make less money on the points that you have already earned. That simple twist makes this game endless fun. It allows you to try new methods of spending your points to maximize your overall score.OverallI definitely give this game 4.5\/5.0 Bricks. The catchy music and beautiful environments make this simplistic shooter a joy to play as you find that perfect balance to achieve your high score.For more go to http:\/\/brick-media.com\/blue-flamingo\/
