Ah, Flappy Hen. 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. At the least, that was the case till this morning, after I stumbled upon a Reddit put up saying a Flappy Hen tribute for the Playdate and, with no second’s hesitation, sideloaded it onto my gadget. Now right here I’m, completely hooked on this maddening little recreation as soon as once more. And, utilizing the crank to regulate that foolish wanting 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 recreation, however in grayscale. You’ll be able to 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 at any time when I can. There are different video games impressed by Flappy Hen that you may get for the Playdate, like Cranky Hen and Flappybalt, however Chibisuke’s FlappyBird is a direct clone of Dong Nguyen’s notorious side-scroller.
It’s undoubtedly one option to get your coronary heart charge up on a Sunday afternoon. Simply, please don’t ask me about my excessive rating, I… don’t wish to speak about it.
