The description of Ironpants - Play With New Friends
Look! Up in the sky! It's London! It's France! No, it's Ironpants!Since Flappy Bird was suddenly pulled from the app stores, plenty of other apps have emerged to fill the void. Ironpants is the most popular out of this group, but is this game a contender with wings or a pretender that hopelessly crashes? Leggings would only hold him downIn Ironpants, you control a superhero who must endlessly fly between wooden boxes. It doesn't take long to see the difficultly of the game and it's likely to be awhile before you can fly between 3 crates.

What made Flappy Bird successful was the careful mix of different elements that made for a hyper-addictive gaming experience: there weren't many obstructive ads, cute graphics, there was hardly any wait times between games, there were no unnecessary frills and features, and there was the right balance of easy controls and a high difficulty. Unfortunately, Ironpants is missing a few key ingredients: there are large ads between games and the controls don't feel completely intuitive.

The controls are more or less an inverted and simplified version of (the far better) Small Fry. Ironpants is all about timingAlthough the controls might sound easy, they are definitely more difficult than Flappy Bird and will take some getting used to due to the high speed that Ironpants flies at. It's also difficult to guage how high Ironpants will fly.
