You're certainly whooping my arse on the scoreboards!!

Glad you both like it

Triston likes it and Layla, she managed to get across stage 1 from platform to platform, which is pretty good for a 3year old!

Awesome!
I really enjoyed it, too.
I wasn't expecting to find a breakout from the Read Error A collection, but this seems to be one!

I've also been wondering how it might work on a touchscreen, but.. nope.. no idea.. unless I wimp out and do an onscreen touchpad and button...

It would port to anything else really well though, possibly even the fairchild channel F!

Mmmm NES port......

Ohh, I mean, you *could* use the angle of the touch screen to control the horizontal movement... perhaps?

Done playing Flappadiddle, can't get past the top 5 high scores anymore.

The extra block of platform collision is taking too many lives when there is only 1 block gap with the spikes. I may have to to replace the keyboard.
I would rate this as the best game of the year so far.

Yeah, the game's turned out really well, even with all its quirks.
If I do decide to expand it to iOS, I really have to come up with a better touch-based control scheme, though, and fix up those really evil spikes that crop up from time to time.

It'd be nice to have on iOS, but not exactly as it is, right now.

The quirks are what make it great though, yuo can use the quirks to your advantage in certain gameplay situations, I love that!

The reduction of controls to touchscreen would cause enough issues, that any quirks are then amplified to frustrating proportions.
It's a difficult balance, especially when dealing with a teensy tiny phone's screen.

Yeah, I really need to tackle the iOS controls for this one...

Played Flappadiddle today after six months and wanted to share my thoughts on why I felt it was the best of 2017 AGAW games.

- Platforms are made visible one by one that keeps the player guessing.
- Reaching the next platforms faster brings more points.
- Five fixed zones give players some familiarity on approximately where the last platform will appear to turn fast for the last one.
- Pleasant background score and catchy sounds for landing on the platform and clearing the level.


For Flappadiddle 2 would love to see the below features.
- Bonus points for the first platform.
- Some powerups that can be picked up in levels which can be used in later levels to stop the rotating spikes when the player is near it and freeze it at a particular moment. (In the current game some levels are impossible to cross as there might be two rotating spikes rotating in opposite directions)
- Another powerup to make the bird stay in autoflap mode at the same height to take a breather or use the powerup in the point above to freeze a rotating spikes.
- Another powerup to blast a few spikes.

I, too, have been thinking about "Flappadiddle Doo!"

Scoring mechanics are being completely redone. The timing thing really wasn't working out, especially when the "next" platform was all the way across the screen.
A different plan is in mind for the scores.

Powerups will be considered, but also "Different bird = different abilities" would be a nice way to do that.
Mmmm...

The bonus time counter can be set to some multiple of the difference in zone number between the current platform zone and the next visible platform zone.

Maybe a single level bonus, but the per-platform doesn't seem to work as well.
It was one of my main issues when I first wrote the game. Trying to add a bonus where it just didn't work.
But, no, I've thought things through, and I'm ready to add a new way of scoring
Sequel will probably be the first game of the year, once I've finally finished this bloomin' framework!!

.. And got the site working properly!

I'm excited to see how this turns out! As you might have guessed, love flapadiddle!

Might have just beaten my hard mode top score, hehe

Way to go @ryan, your current top score approx 700 points more than your previous hard mode high score and 1100 points more than my last updated hard mode high score.
I usually get to points more than 1000 with all 4 lives and will get a opposite rotating spike to lose most of the lives.
