Running to get around is so yesterday. The best way to move through a level is backflips, and Backflip Madness is an app that proves this. Take a look at it in hilarious action in this trailer.

Backflip Madness is a painful game if you get your flips wrong. Your character – an acrobatic man – can get really hurt if you backflip him onto things like crates and basketball hoops. But even though he gets hurt and you have to start again, it’s really very funny to see him fall over ad smash into things! You’ll need to perfect your flips to get on with the game though, so make sure he stays unhurt and you’ll be able to make it through the level. Some of the jumps require a little bit of thought before pulling off though, so look at everything carefully before you leap!

You can pick up Backflip Madness from the App Store for £0.69. If you don’t fancy flipping your way through levels, you could always check out our best apps channel and find something more you!
