Ohh man, did anyone read Ian Bogost's essay on Flappy Bird? Great piece of writing.

wasnt even going for the joke either -____-

 

[hohoXD123]

Same way Gran Turismo isn't Forza.

Or Killzone isn't Halo.

That's completely different, this isn't just a case of the two games simply occupying the same genre.

Flappy Bird’s Smoke & Mirrors – Is Something Fishy Going On?

Huh, weird. Apparently the creator hasn't denied anything. :/

then i promptly deleted it off of my phone

 

[valkillmore]

8. Fuck this game. Im shocked they don't have an IAP scheme to steady your flight.

 

[SuperÑ]

561, legit.

 

[Spectromixer]

Mine is 28. I really need to delete it.

 

[kassatsu]

25.

they must be making a killing off Google ads.

 

[Certinty]

43.

I'll delete it once/if I get to 100.

 

[valkillmore]

Ffs the goddamn ads at the top of the page cut into the screen. It blocks the score partially and can fully obscure the bird.

Why am I surprised.

157 D:

damn I'll now never get that high again

was in my car with my bro too, surprised when he drove over a bump I didn't lose it B^)

 

[kiryani]

90 and I think I'm done.

Hopefully none of my friends get close

I keep blaming the damn ads because the framerate drops when the ads pop in. This game is so perfectly rage inducing. Gonna keep it around a while until I can say I've killed it.

 

[Kaiken]

Got 103 today trying to beat my brothers 105. FML!!!

[Epcott]

I just started yesterday and I was like "Hell yeah man, I got 7!" Then I looked in Game Center and saw Wario64's score of 66... and felt bad.

 

[haZethew0rld]

37

can we get much higher?

 

[jackal27]

14. I'm really curious as to why people think this is such a bad game. It's simple and silly, yeah, but it's not bad. The sprites aren't ripped from anything either. If you check this guy's other games you'll see that he's a talented pixel artist who's great at designing small, high-score based games like these.

Personally I think that Flappy Bird is his weakest one, but I don't think it's a crap game.

 

[odhiex]

11.. for now. Just downloaded it an hour ago.

 

[jambo]

Game runs great on my Aussie Galaxy S3 4G.

Highest score so far is 3...

 

[DeadlyBunny]

So far I've gotten 15. This game is brilliant,i can see why it is topping the charts. Gameplay is easy to pick up but hard to master. No IAP or stupid timers getting in the way of the game. Just a simple game where you can compete with your friends for highest score.

i deleted it after getting that 2

I'm considered a god by my friends.

 

[Shearie]

This game sucks ass.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hesido]

16. I'm told that the gameplay idea is a copy of another game (forgot which game ), even the "pixel" art is rotated, not animated (this isn't anything majority would notice but an indication of production quality).. I wonder what made this go viral..

 

[Wolf Akela]

One of the oldest examples I know is the Flash game called Fly the Copter.

 

[bEAST1N_G]

Got 62 just a few minutes ago

 

[Newline]

Just got 55! Boom.

 

[kiguel182]

Yesterday got 296, I don't know if I'll ever beat that.

Shame that all the hackers have the top spots, kills the fun of trying to climb the leaderboards when the higher places are clearly cheating.

 

[FamousLastX]

Just caved in and downloaded it earlier when I couldn't sleep. Can't get past 5...

 

[glaringradio]

1. Put in micro-transaction for extra life
2. Charge 0.69
3.

 

[Madness]

122 just to beat a friend who had like 114 and then deleted it after I proved I was a more 'hardcore' gamer than him lol. Game is pretty infuriating due to its mechanics though.

 

[Geniuzz]

So, what's the over/under on how fast they'll get slapped with a cease and desist from the big N?

 

[whiteape]

http://squishybird.com/

I'm better at this than flappybird.

 

[Magicpaint]

I got to 26 but I don't think this game is worth the rage of trying to improve on it, so I might just delete the damn app.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Can't get past 20. My youngest daughter has around 150.

Unreal that this time waster is the hottest game among kids right now. At least in my area.

 

[Yakitorii]

19
Needs more practice.

 

[w00zey]

I got to 88. I imagine I could get past 100 but it becomes more about losing concentration and the fact that it takes so long to get up to that number that I'm kinda over it now. I crushed the kids at home and have beaten all their friends so my job is really done.

 

[Halcyon]

I have 23 or 24. I like playing it while i'm on the shitter.

It is odd how it just sprung to the top of the game list. That's the only reason I downloaded it. I knew nothing of the buzz.

 

[cDNA]

1. Put in micro-transaction for extra life

With only ads they already swimming in money. http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/5/5383708/flappy-bird-revenue-50-k-per-day-dong-nguyen-interview

Jesus fuck, that must be the best feeling ever. I hope I can catch lightning in a bottle someday.

 

[Jacobi]

So... 28.

This game is weird though, I don't get that much better at it, I just occasionally get really good. What if the game makes the collision detection a lot easier every 8 rounds?
The gamer gets frustrated but sometimes motivated through good scores so he keeps on playing... Yeah little conspiracy theory there, but why not?
