The goal of the game is to send an airplane from one hangar to another hangar in different places. There are many obstacles between the two points, including air and moving landscapes. The game has in-app purchases, and users can pay to make the game ad-free. The goal of the game is to bring the airplane from one hangar into another hangar without crashing into obstacles. In order to move the plane, the players must simply tap the screen. The plane will then move forwards and upwards. Releasing the finger from the screen makes the plane move down. by Dodekaedron Software and even more similarly in Super Sukkula In every level, there is at least one "retry point", that when landed upon changes the plane's spawn point into that of the retry point for one coin. The game, unlike Flappy Bird, can also let players loop the plane, and even fly backwards. There are also new gameplay elements such as liquid physics, moving obstacles, stars, and currency, which can be earned via achievements or playing levels and purchased for real money. In certain levels, there are elements that can increase the difficulty. The wind can slow down the plane, water can drown the plane, and moving terrain. There are also locked blocks in some levels that locks a certain level path, that can only be opened by unlocking the next level pack. Like all Rovio games, Retry has a 3-star format. The first star is earned by finishing the level, the second star is earned by not crashing a certain number of times, and the third star by not flying more than a certain distance. Stars, not only shows the mastery of each level but are also used to unlock additional level packs.
Reception
Patrick O'Rourke of canada.com described the game as taking "one of the few things that was great about Flappy Bird", namely the satisfaction of repeatedly retrying the same simple task, and building a full game around the idea. He saw its visuals as paying homage to the Nintendo Entertainment System without "completely ripping them off" as Flappy Bird had done, and summarised the game as a "decent pick-up-and-play iOS title".
