A few points to compare the two:
- Jetpack Joyride is way easier. I think something "unique" about Flappy Bird is how difficult it is.
- It's extremely easy to start a new round in Flappy Bird (and it happens quite often). Die on the first pipe? Tap again to jump right back in. You don't even need to hit a button, it's pretty much tap anywhere on the screen.
- Sharing high scores with friends is way easier. "I got a 22 the other day." is way easier than saying "I got 108,000".
- The high scores are more meaningful to other players because they will know exactly how Player1 got that score. The 108,000 in Jetpack Joyride is ambiguous because the score is a function of distance, coins, kills, etc. Remember back in the day, hearing about some dude's cousin that made it to level 55, and how seemingly impossible that was?
- prof_hobart 13y agoThe two games clearly have some differences, but I'm not sure that I'd class any of those as being particularly unique. Somehow, something about this game has grabbed people's interest, but it's not some brilliant gameplay innovation that the rest of the gaming world had overlooked.
