The creator of Flappy Bird has pushed out an update to his new game Swing Copters to make it easier for gamers to play.

According to CNET, on Monday, Nguyen came out with an update to tune the gameplay and make it far more accessible to players who, since its release Wednesday, have been trying to wrap their heads around a game designed around punishing failure.

Following the changes introduced, the movements of the character in the follow up game to Flappy Bird is now more subtle, which gives players the chance to evade an early defeat.

The difficulty of the game made it challenging for many smartphone gaming enthusiasts to even score a single point, while some of them were able to score above 75 points.

The game's level of difficulty, built on the foundation Nguyen laid with Flappy Bird in February, gave it an instant boost in popularity.
