On my first playthrough, I couldn't see how I'd ever file a positive review for Flip's Escape. The controls felt obtuse, and the game - which presented itself as an endless runner of sorts - was filled with jarring stopping and starting. Ten minutes in, however, and I was frantically pressing the "tap to play again" button without even thinking. In a gaming landscape of short attention spans, believe me when I say this is one on which you should reserve snap judgement. It will take you from skepticism to obsession at warp speed.
When I was young, my dad bought me a wonderful book of illustrations that looked like one face when drawn right-side up, and another if drawn upside down. This, I feel, is the quality captured by Shaun Inman's excellent The Last Rocket, which played one way as you collected all the coins, and another as you attempted to avoid them. If you, like me, couldn't get enough of this indie gem, never fear: Flip is blasting off again. But you're still missing out on that great book.
