Rovio, the developers of the famous Angry Birds, released a teaser for its upcoming game called RETRY. The game requires players to navigate a tiny plane through a level while collecting coins.

In the short teaser trailer, we can see that death in an important part of the gameplay, requiring players to retry repeatedly (hence the name). Frustration made Flappy Bird addictive and Rovio hopes to run with the idea. “RETRY — a game so hard, so addictive, so old school that you’ll think you’ve stepped into an 8-bit time machine and gone back to 1986,” reads the game description.

RETRY is a bit more complicated than Flappy Bird. Players have to navigate a constantly moving level and do stunts to collect coins. Adding loops to the gameplay may make RETRY even more frustrating than Flappy Birds.

The art from RETRY is also inspired by the retro look of Flappy Bird with 8-bit graphics. The levels look like old school Mario and Sonic levels.

While there’s no release date for RETRY, Rovio says to expect the game “soon in app stores.” The game will ble free to play with in-app purchases. Finland, Canada and Poland can already download the game for iOS here.
