Hitbox detection is off, and the physics don't feel nearly as good. There's more to flappy bird than a bird moving through pipes.

- ellisonleao 13y agostefan, where are you playing?
- duiker101 13y agoAs someone that has never played the game, what's there more?
- geocar 13y agoIt's a matter of taste. Flappy feels very polished, like if the tap caused him to lift even a pixel higher it wouldn't be as good of a game. This sort of thing doesn't come elegantly, but generally requires a lot of tuning of little variables and ends up farting a bunch of magic numbers all over your programs. A game like Flappy seems like it should make a good demo app since it's simple, but it actually makes a terrible demo app since the "simple version" is so terrible that you almost feel like you should blame the platform.
- freshyill 13y agoOff, but still WAY better than the original.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWhich version: iOS or Android? Seems perfect on Android.
- freshyill 13y agoiOS. I just re-downloaded it from my purchase history, and it seems much better than it was when I originally downloaded it. I had deleted it after maybe 10 minutes because I found the hit detection to be so infuriating. I'm still bothered by the fact that a game with a pixel art style would have blurry graphics.
- qjfd054 13y agoCalm the f*k down. He created a nearly identical open source clone of a very popular game for you. If you want to make it perfect, do it yourself. He's done 99% of the work for you. Stop being such an entitled brat.

- farinasa 13y agoHitbox is off on this one too.
- muglug 13y agoCan confirm, is thoroughly addictive. Well done.
- ellisonleao 13y agowow! that's a nice implementation. Will try to improve my physics!
