Nice game, you must concentrate on the moving. It's really flapping!
I have respect for programmers who can make good games for the unexpanded VIC.

Thanks! I admire that smooth scrolling but for me this is unplayable.
Is it a board restriction or why is it zipped? I recommend exomizer to make a self-decrunshing executable.

Flappy Bird always has been quite unplayable TBH, but any lags in emulation do not make it any easier.

The forum software does not allow for *.prg files in attachments ... I know, this serves no useful security measure, but at least it 'prevents' Edge users from getting the same warning from their browser.

A faithful version - smooth, responsive, good-looking, and extremely hard!
I managed a score of 9 but most of the time just 2-5.

Thanks!
The game is hard - and frustrating, just like the original. If you look at the screenshot, though, you'll see that I had a hiscore of 43, so it's far from impossible to keep it going for a while. (The opening in the pipes gets narrower around the 45 mark, so good luck getting much higher than that!!)
