As i was surfing the internet aimlessly on my phone looking for something to get
me out of my boredom. Soon I bumped into the new gaming sensation, an app
called “flappy bird”. The game had top spot on iTunes for free apps and was
recently made available for android on playstore. I have to say when I went to
download it I was a bit hesitate seeing that it was only a megabyte in size but
after reading a couple of good reviews I decided to give a shot and am glad
that I did. The game is about as simple as any game can get. It has very few
sound effects, four if am not mistaken and it’s very minimalist in design, not
offering a very detailed in environment. The buildings and trees in the
background are static and players have to control a bird flap its way through a
series of pipes without hitting any of them or plunging into the ground by
tapping on their screens. Am sure that sounds simple, but it’s not. Am sure it’s
easier to control a fighter jet than to control this little bird. It’s one of
those games that are fun just because of how hard they are. If you manage not
to toss away your phone and with a little patience, you will start to get the hang
of it. My personal best currently is 14, and I think that’s a reasonable score in Flappy
Bird terms. The game is disturbingly addictive and will keep you entertained
for hours.
