PREVIEW: Fling to the Finish on PC (Steam)

Preview by GamingCouchPotato.co.uk Staff

As always let me start by stating this game is Early Access, so it is not finished, so my opinions are based on that, and not any finished article.

Fling to the Finish is a co-op game, whereby you and a friend race through obstacle courses, the gimmick here is that you are connected to each other via a stretchy rope. Use the rope to your advantage and you will zoom through courses, but whereas the rope can be your greatest advantage, it can also be your biggest hinderance. 

There are over a dozen characters to choose from that fit your mood, lots of levels to complete.

So, the question is, in its early state, is it any good? Well, the answer to that is yes. Ok there are problems, the graphics can be a bit glitchy at times, the online matchmaking isn't the best, and the single player mode can be tricky to get the hang of. But the general idea is a good one, and hopefully as the game makers further develop the game and fix the bugs, the game can only improve.

The game has a frantic feel, which is great, the ball shaped characters are fun, if a tad bland looking at the moment. The leader board is a nice touch, and there is a feeling that you can pass a level quicker, or beat other people's times, so the replay ability is also there.

The Good

I like the cartoonish graphics and soundtrack, the game just feels fun to play, although can be tricky at times.

The Bad

The game is early access, so there will always be bugs and things that can be approved, so keep that in mind if you decide to play it.

Overall

The game is fun, even at this early stage, and that can only be a good thing, the potential is there is the game makers listen to the opinions of those who have played it, and try to address issues and improve things.
