Pugo! the Pinoy Flappy Bird, #1 on Top Charts

Talk about Pinoy pride, the Flappy Bird-inspired game Pugo! ranked first in App Store’s Top Charts. It has only been released less than a week ago, and positive reviews have already been flooding its page.

Pugo! was created by Manila-based couple Patrick Cabral and Camy Cabral. They are designers and artists who tried their luck making their first game app. Luckily, it was received warmly by people.

Same mechanics as Flappy Bird apply to Pugo! — tapping the screen to make it fly and dodge obstacles. In this game, you are a small pink quail that avoids trees while roaming around the forest. There’s also a happy background music which makes everything light and jolly.

The couple added a new element to the game which I think (former) Flappy Bird players will love: Extra lives! Watch out for Philippine flags and collect them as they save your quail’s behind when it crashes.

Pugo! is now available for download in the App Store. We will try to get in touch with the creators and ask if the game will also come to Android devices.

App Trending: the Flappy Bird game

I used to see people boasting their Temple Run scores all around the social media. Fortunately (or unfortunately), something replaced it already – Flappy Bird. It’s free, it has bad graphics, it’s insanely hard, it’s pointless and most of all, it’s frustratingly addicting.

FLAPPY BIRD

This is impossible.

The game simply involves tapping to flap the bird into flying. The goal is to get a high score without hitting the pipes and that’s it. As of writing, I only got 22 as my personal high score. Someone I knew gave me a tip to fly low rather than flying high.

You should try it out if you want to know what we mean. It’s free for both iOS and Android, in which you can download them here and here respectively. Feel free to tell us what you think!

Basemark OS II, a new cross-platform benchmarking tool

While benchmarks doesn’t really translate real-world user experience, most of us still wish to know the prowess of our gadgets. Comparison between Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices is a struggle since only a few benchmark tools are available for the three major mobile platforms. Enter the Basemark OS II.

Basemark OS II by Rightware would like to answer our queries. It is a cross-platform benchmarking tool that runs on Android, iOS, and even Windows Phone. BlackBerry 10 isn’t included but that is understandable.

As stated in Rightware’s official website, tests for your devices are grouped by:
- System tests
- Memory tests
- Graphics tests
- Web tests
- Battery test and camera test by Sofica, a company dedicated in camera algorithms

There is a free and a full version of the said app. The free version is aimed for consumers, while the full version includes breakdowns of the memory and browser tests, as well battery performance and external storage tests. Pit it your devices and see how it fares especially flagships like Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 3, Lumia 1520 and iPhone 5s.

Editor’s note: My Nexus 7 (2013) was able to garner a score of 662.
