That's a neat twist on a classic loop, nice one!

Cute flappy bird like game! I think the walls should spawn at an irregular interval and the player should automatically start with forward velocity. On my second run, I just stayed in place and didn't press left and right and it made the game fairly easy.

thanks for your feedback @herman-chau

i want to make a plateformer but since i am new i wasn't able to complete what i wanted

so i made this in last remaning 8 hours i will fix all those problems and try to convert it into html game after result day [ since can't change game now ]

pradhuman 2020-10-06 06:25

thanks @rockclaw for playing

Enjoyed playing. The controls are a bit touchy but are an interesting change from classic flappy controls. I really like all the colors. Great job!

Thanks @chris-hall

Felt very nice and satisfactory at the beginning but I got bored at 32 points, I felt like I could go on forever. An increase of difficulty (maybe a faster camera or narrower spaces) with time would be very welcome.

On the other side I really dig the visuals! Good job!

Creative pixelated mix of Flappy bird derivative with constant speeds and no gravity, I liked it.

Stuck in a loop is just because game has no ending?

Nicely done, had to run it through wine though.

Tip of the hat for using LÖVE :)

pradhuman 2020-10-07 04:19

Thanks @ricargoes I will try to update after jam To make it batter

pradhuman 2020-10-07 04:21

Thanks for Löve @necauqua

Ps: I don't know anything other than LÖVE for game dev.

😀😀

And will try to create Linux version later

Well done! I like that the controls don't move the planet (player) directly up or down, but at a bit of an angle. It adds a nice twist.

I think the background could maybe use some fading so it's not too busy, but looks good overall.

Great work!

I would love to rate your game if you come out with a mac version!

sean-holloway 2020-10-07 04:41

When you're about to die and your cerebral cortex is flooded with psychic visions from a DMT rush, this is what playing flappy bird looks liks

sean-holloway 2020-10-07 04:42

P.S. if you go off the top of the screen you can just slide along forever without being hurt

thundersalt 2020-10-07 04:43

Pretty cute game, good work on this!

oliver-richmeier 2020-10-07 04:47

Fun game but @herman-chau is right, you could go on forever just pressing up and down. Starting the player with forward momentum would force them to use the other controls. Other than that, interesting concept and aesthetic, more fun than many other flappy bird clones out there

adil 2020-10-07 05:09

I love this flappy bird-like game, there is kinda interesting concept of movement in your project. Graphics make me feel that I play it on arcade automate. Good entry man!

pradhuman 2020-10-07 06:12

Thanks @dharby Will Work On that

pradhuman 2020-10-07 08:16

Thanks guys for your suggestions and feedback @adil @dharby @snowinn @rockclaw @necauqua @ricargoes @chris-hall @oliver-richmeier @herman-chau @sean-holloway

I Made Some Updates

1. Can't go outside the screen 2. Created Distribution for macOS [ Note : Don't know if it works . tell me if it works ] 3. blur background a little 4. make game a little bit challenging 5. make game so you are forced to use all arrow keys

PLAY THE GAME AND RATE + FEEDBACK

Simple and well realized. I like the "pop" obstacles. Good job.

pradhuman 2020-10-07 14:13

Thank you @fax

barelyevengames 2020-10-07 23:01

I love it! It's like a flappy bird with additional layer of complexity. It doesn't seem like it changes much in difficulty as you progress, but maybe I just didn't get far enough. Great job though!

pradhuman 2020-10-08 04:31

thnx @barelyevengames

reallyqbert 2020-10-08 10:52

Interesting adaptation of the Flappy Bird mechanic for the jam. Nice!

pradhuman 2020-10-08 14:31

thanks @reallyqbert

le-don 2020-10-13 12:41

Nice game! I had a lot of fun with this. It seems you can off screen when moving to the left.

pradhuman 2020-10-14 06:35

@le-don thanks
