According to LeParisien, in theory, the two games Flappy Bird and Swing Copters are quite similar. In Flappy Bird, players have to make the bird fly through two walls (tubes) by tapping the screen in rhythm. With Swing Copters, players have to make the character fly high and have new obstacles. The difficulty continues to increase, many players do not achieve even 1 point after trying the game. The remaining players are annoyed by the game. This newspaper also predicts that Swing Copters can create a fever like the previous game Flappy Bird by Nguyen Ha Dong.

Phonandroid and Atlantico also rated this game as simple and addictive for everyone. One thing is for sure, this game is similar to Flappy Brid. The graphics in Swing Copters recall the typical colors of Flappy Brid. Phonandroid predicted that "In the near future, Swing Copters promises to surpass Flappy Brid to become a game for young people". Atlantico commented "Similar to Flappy Bird, Swing Copters is also addictive although its difficulty level is higher, just one mistake is "game over" immediately".

The Huffingtonpost reported on the appearance of the game Swing Copters by author Nguyen Ha Dong. This newspaper described Swing Copters as similar to its predecessor in terms of flying to avoid obstacles, colors and difficulty. However, the Huffingtonpost did not make any predictions about the future of the game Swing Copters.

App4phone newspaper said that there are not too many surprises in this game. Swing Copters game also plays in the "one-touch" style (one-touch game) and is also difficult (maybe a little more difficult) than the game Flappy Bird that caused a fever before. The principle of Swing Copters game is the same as Flappy Brid, which means you have to move so as not to touch any obstacles. The new point of the game is to move vertically like a "helicopter" to go as high as possible. The article also raised a question about the level of honesty in the words of Nguyen Ha Dong - who used many words to justify the withdrawal of Flappy Bird game: causing too much trouble, addictive game, success too quickly... Meanwhile, Nguyen Ha Dong has now launched a similar game with only 2 or 3 changes.

In general, reviews from foreign newspapers all say that the game Swing Copters has similar content to the game Flappy Bird in terms of game rules, colors and difficulty. The new point of Swing Copters is flying straight up and the difficulty of this game is much higher than Flappy Bird due to the additional obstacles on the road. Currently, Swing Copters is being downloaded thousands of times and it is probably too early to make any predictions about the future of the game Swing Copters.
