Ah, Flappy Chicken. It’s been a very long time since I final gave any thought to the game-turned-cultural-phenomenon that briefly had us all in a chokehold a decade in the past. A minimum of, that was the case till this morning, once I stumbled upon a Reddit publish asserting a Flappy Chicken tribute for the Playdate and, and not using a second’s hesitation, sideloaded it onto my gadget. Now right here I’m, completely hooked on this maddening little sport as soon as once more. And, utilizing the crank to manage that foolish trying hen, it is even tougher this time round. FlappyBird by Chibisuke is free and obtainable to obtain for Playdate on itch.io. You’re welcome… or, I’m sorry.
FlappyBird is rather like the OG sport, however in grayscale. You may play utilizing the up button on the D-pad, the ‘A’ button or the crank to information the hen between the pipes, however I’ve been going with the latter for the additional problem it provides. It additionally simply appears like an ideal use of the crank, and I like benefiting from the Playdate’s funky design each time I can. There are different video games impressed by Flappy Chicken that you would be able to get for the Playdate, like Cranky Chicken and Flappybalt, however Chibisuke’s FlappyBird is a direct clone of Dong Nguyen’s notorious side-scroller.
It’s positively one method to get your coronary heart fee up on a Sunday afternoon. Simply, please don’t ask me about my excessive rating, I… don’t wish to speak about it.
