Complicated arcade in 2D
Since Flappy Bird opened the door a few years ago, we have seen the launch of hundreds of Android games that have relied on a retro design and have presented simple approaches, more typical of the 8-bit games of the 80s than of more technologically developed platforms like the current ones.
Pixelated design and simple handling are two of the features that stand out in Cowardly Heroes, a game that will kill the patience of anyone who decides to play a game with him. Its format is not exactly new, but that doesn't matter because we are sure that it will hook even the most experienced player.
Escape from the alien ship and avoid crashing into the obstacles.
It is not very complicated to understand the game: we are chased by a ship with a disintegrator ray and we have to help our protagonist to escape. But it won't be difficult, because along the way he will encounter all sorts of obstacles to avoid. To do this, you will only have to press the buttons to move up or down and shoot at any enemy that gets in your way. However, although the approach is simple, the game will not be easy: the number of traps and the speed will complicate everything a lot.
Graphically, the game is presented in a classic 2D horizontal format, so that together with the pixelated image it will seem that we have gone back more than three decades with our Android.
