I am mildly surprised that nobody's broken out the complaint generator yet.

The removal of Flappy Bird is all the rage at my school at the moment. There was even a story about it on today's school broadcast. -_-

To be honest, I don't really understand what the internet's impression is of the game, or rather what the expected response is. Like, it is a rather average game - so like apathy? Or is it like, an ironic like of the game? Or like is it really addictive? So people are upset over losing it?

I don't really mean to undermine humour.. I'm just trying to figure this thing out :P

I think it's mostly because of the addiction. Above all else people are determined to get better scores. At least that's how I perceive it.

I will avoid taking that news with a light heated attitude unless I knew for sure, as if it happened to be the case - that would be awful. Anyways, were/are any of you guys still addicted to the game? I've never actually played it, are the heights of the pipes like random?

Yep, they're completely randomized. Sometimes you have to do a nosedive in order to live.

I just got Flappy Fish on my J2ME phone, it's basically flappy bird with inverse gravity+jumping and a punk hair.

I have a friend in my English Class who showed me that today. Literally the only difference was the sprites. Even the physics stayed the same. -_-

Actually, no...
  • It's for J2ME
  • Physics is upside-down
  • The fish doesn't spin when swimming/floating
  • The physics is ridiculously strange, you die being like 10px away from the pipe (my screen is 240x320px)

Oops... I forgot, I think his game was actually called "Squishy fish" which WAS the same.

My mistake. :P
