Add that to the torrent of Flappy Bird clones on sites like Kongregate and I wouldn’t fully discount the idea that Flappy Bird could indeed break the world record for inspiring the highest ever number of clones, remakes, and otherwise derivative works with similar ideas.
Now I know that certain games that brought us ideas like knocking down forts and driving a stunt car in a 2D side view has brought a lot of the same thing over the years, but the rate as which Flappy Bird is inspiring these things really does appear to be a lot faster than what’s been seen with those games (as if it’s destined to literally become to games as hello world is to programming).
Takes 1 hour to make , this is the reason of so many clones.
Silly minds that think they will get attention, and they won’t.(1000 clones…nobody earns nothing out of that)
Just a crapp game…Wish that this “brain washing” game never came out…way to much attention going around it , for that little that it has to offer.
I tried a few of the online clones and perhaps one out of four times I was able to get past the first set of pipes and almost never the second, leaving me to wonder how people manage to get a score of 10 or 20.
It almost seems like they don’t have pixel-perfect collision detection on purpose to make it hard right out of the gate, now if it could start off easy and slowly get harder with new elements and such, though overall I don’t think I’m quite as good at games as I used to be (my ‘gamer’ side has faded quite a bit in the last 15 years).
it seems there are a lot of people out there wanting to make 50k a day from an app that will take them a few hours to perfect.
I dont believe the reason the FlappyBird’s creator gave for taking it down. i think he was a hairs breath away from being sued.
Also, it was a shit game. There - I said it
