Great opening, Venter. I know it's usually a faux pas to talk price in reviews, but it works well here. The flow of the review is quick and no-nonsense, with some dry wit sprinkled in, and it culminates in a perfect ending. Kudos.

Thanks, Marc! The ending came to me at the very last second, a special and unexpected gift from my tired brain. I'm glad it worked for you, and that you liked the review. And I agree with you that discussing price isn't usually a great way to start a review, or even something to include (the minute prices change, that review has one more way to be out of date), but in this case it just felt right. Thanks for reading!

It does look like Flappy Bird.

It's also nice that this game has unlockable characters.

I sure do hope that anyone who got this game won't throw their switch out the window.

By the way, awesome review!

Vertical orientation aside, the biggest difference between I wana fly and Flappy Bird is that my Flappy Bird runs tend to be a lot shorter. A run in I wanna fly takes a lot longer to go south, usually, so each attempt is more time-consuming. However, the game feels a bit less frustrating and demanding in the early moments. I'm not really a huge fan of either experience, though, as you might have gathered.

Thematically it's appropriate for a game featuring this mechanic to dovetail the whole tappy animals genre, which has had its heyday at this point. It's a shame that the game wasn't even charming enough visually to make a good impression - isn't that usually how these titles make their way?

I loved the opening - it was gleeful.
Someone told me that you're worth it.

I believe them.
