#112For a second I though the URL was fapmmo.com. I assume that would be something completely different.

You did say you'd have more time on your hands.
Aaaaaagh!!!!!! Only made it past the 2nd pipe after 5 minutes so I'm going back to Threes! http://asherv.com/threes/
Great game, but I'm noticing patterns in my sleep. Might need to stop playing it right before bed...

I think Flappy Bird is a wonderfully well-tuned game. I've yet to see a clone that implements the finer details which made the original shine. Many games introduce difficulty through complexity. Here's a game that's simple to grasp, hard to play, yet not boring or frustrating. I wish this was acknowledged more often, as it might have made the developer feel more comfortable being associated with his game's meteoric s…

I have played many, many games far better on a…
+1 When I got an iPod Touch (1st gen before the iPhone even came out), I installed a helicopter game on the same principle (itself cloned from some flash game), but easier at the start and with progressive difficulty, me and my classmates were hooked, played this for hours. It was way better than Flappy Bird except for the design IMO.

I think it's a disservice to call it a clone of the helicopter game. It's a very similar idea, but how the game is played and the consistency of the obstacles are very different.
I think its a disservice that millions of people act like this guy stumbled on a new genre when he didn't. The way the game is played is nearly identical. You either increase your altitude or decrease it. I agree that the consistency of the obstacles is different though.
I can remember playing what is essentially the same game on an acorn computer in 80s, pretty sure a helicopter. All this talk is just a witch hunt by jealous people, ignoring how rare original ideas actually are.

#117A. I really wish it was up for me to play it.
B. I really wish they'd at least match the original's flap rate a little closer.

Re: Massively multiplayer online Flappy Bird
#119The phenomenon of this game absolutely boggles my mind. I've read all the articles about this game, and just can't seem to get how it got so popular so quickly. I feel like it's a just a giant troll or something, although I know that's not the case. Also, I still haven't understood the whole "Super Mario World" graphics rip of it?
It's like the Gangnam Style of games.
Re: Massively multiplayer online Flappy Bird
#120Really? This is what all the flap is about? This is awful. It's almost impossible to get passed the first set of pipes because the a single click makes the bird jump half the height of the screen. Is the mobile app just as unusable?
What mobile app?
The one that the creator yanked after it got popular...
