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 is 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. Players are pilots of the ship The Blue Flamingo and shoot their way through intense levels with a swiftly increasing difficulty, in a world completely built with handcrafted models.
The challenge is to reach the highest possible score and this is made tense by an economical system that allows for investments of scores in upgrades, which makes earning more score points easier. On the other hand, accrued interest will reward the player that saves their score. Players have to make a choice – to upgrade and try to regain the score, or rely on their skills to beat the increasingly difficult levels.
The Blue Flamingo has a unique graphical expression – 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.
The game is short in length and has exciting dynamics and difficulty levels, all of which make it a great game to replay many times.
