The Blue Flamingo Critic Reviews

The game is more than worth its equally miniscule 4 quid asking price.

The Blue Flamingo is a small pearl in the sea of indie games that is slowly yet constantly pouring Steam's servers. It is certainly a niche title that tries to evoke with simple but challenging dynamics some important titles of the past, however, only partially succeeding.

A bizarre shooter with an original and beautiful artistic direction but not much meat under it.

It’s saddening that all of the effort the creators have put in to building such a quicky, charming visual style has gone to waste with such barebones gameplay, but the game’s low price and arcade-esque stylings may make it a nice little timekiller for some.

The art direction is worth mentioning but not worth the entrance fee since the mechanics of this vertical shoot-em-up are as basic as anything.

It's a technical disaster that fails to deliver any of the arcade bliss typically found in shoot 'em ups thanks to weak action, wimpy explosions and whacked controls. Leave this one in the digital bargain bin.
