The Blue Flamingo Free Download

Updated: Mar 11, 2020





















































About This Game Every now and then, pilots from all over the world join to challenge each other in a big competition. 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. a09c17d780 Title: The Blue FlamingoGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Might and DelightPublisher:Might and DelightRelease Date: 18 Nov, 2014 The Blue Flamingo Free Download The Blue Flamingo is a neat "art game" that has a unique artstyle created by actually building the terrain and all the ships in miniature and then converting photographs and video of them into the background and sprites used in the game. Somewhat defying the tendencies of "typical" art games, it's actually a shoot-'em-up, rather than a puzzle platformer or walking simulator.Unfortunately, that's around where the neatness ends - it's a fairly short score attack game, where you play through more or less the same two levels repeatedly, just getting slightly more difficult each time, with very clunky controls. The shortness in terms of content is likely due to the limitations of the artstyle, which constrained them to only having one model for the terrain because building an impressively detailed 32-foot-long model is hard and only so many models for enemies, as those too had to be hand-built and hand-painted, but the loose controls are less forgivable, as they combine with the lack of ability to restore your health to make a game where you're rewarded for playing very conservatively, which ends up feeling rather boring.In the end, I can't really recommend The Blue Flamingo because ultimately it doesn't hold up as anything except a neat visual experience.. The Blue Flamingofast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.good game.Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale. Kind of a\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665shmup but real pretty; would recommend.. 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.. 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\/. The Blue Flamingo is a visually very pleasing game and could have been a really good shmup, but in this genre you need perfect controls without any lag, and there it fails.The Blue Flamingo definitely has an interesting art style. All the aircraft, missiles, laser platforms and other things you encounter are actual models, and all the explosives etc. are also made from miniature pyrotechnics. You're also flying above what looks to be model landscapes as backgrounds.The music on the other hand is uninteresting and the soundeffects are decidedly standard, but not to the point of annoyance.There are too few enemy variations which is perhaps understandable since everything had to be photographed from actual models but worse is that they all use the same patterns. The challenge in most shmups comes from the variance in enemies and their different patterns, here the challenge is simply increased by giving you more enemies to deal with at the same time.That in itself is not a big issue, worse is that like any shmup, The Blue Flamingo lives and dies by the accuracy and responsiveness of its controls. That is where I have issues with this game. Controlling it with an Xbox360 controller works decently enough, but several times I got damaged or lost because I ran into a bullet or missile which I was sure I had dodged -- and I had, but the control was a little laggy in registering.This will not be much of an issue for the first two levels or so and you might not even notice it but as soon as the sceen becomes busier, you will begin getting annoyed by how unresponsive your ship feels.If you get this at a decent price, TBF may be worth your time if you want to check out a unique visual style, but I cannot recommend it to people looking for a serious shmup.. The art is very pretty, the art direction is great. However the menu interface uses a 1990s era "blink" interface to tell you what's selected, there is no real story and generally feels rushed. Neat concept, great art, big failure in actual execution of the "game" part. Others have said it is "very simple", I tend to agree with that. Not a whole lot beyond the good graphics unfortunately.. The Blue Flamingo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is a nice top- down arcade shoot em up game! You are in command of this interesting design craft that shoot bullets, missiles and bombs to destroy your foes. But be very careful and destroy or avoid touching any enemies as your flying vehicle take quiet a fair bit of damage every time you get hit by a projectile or by touching the enemy craft. After all, you only have one craft.Every time you destroy an enemy you get points and $$ or a coin (seems to have more value) if you actually manage to destroy a wave of enemies before disappearing out of the screen.At the end of the level you can upgrade your bullets or booms with the money you earn.I really like the feel of the sceneries and the game fluidity. Well executed and nicely polished. And for $4.99, how can you go wrong?One slight downside is perhaps the gamepad sensitivity (it is maybe an issue with my Logitech gamepad) but you get use to it fairly quickly.Positives:\u2022\tNice and challenging Levels\u2022\tAddictive\u2022\tLeader boardNegatives:\u2022\tNo achievements\u2022\tGamepad sensitive A must have in your games list!MORE THE_CPT_FROGGY REVIEWS HEREFOLLOW THE CPT FROGGY CURATOR PAGE HERE. A very simple airplane shooting game, nothing really special about it, but the handmade models in the game amazed me!
