Show HN: Flatchy Bird – An HTML5 Flappy Bird Tribute/Parody
flatchybird.com
Hopefully HN isn't too beneath a little fart humor from time to time. We may be a little immature at Curious Media, but we have a lot of fun! Our initial goal was two days, but its looking a little more like 3.5 days at this point for the web version. We thought a farting bird would be pretty funny. We repurposed some of the artwork from another one of our games to save a little time and built it using ImpactJS. There is a leader board that records your best score. There are still some minor bugs and such, but overall it should be fairly playable on desktops, tablets and mobile devices. We haven't really tested it on legacy devices yet. What do you think?

- ericthegoodking 13y agoyou guys have a great website. Funny game too.
- curiousphil 13y agoThanks a lot! It was a fun little side project.
- computerslol 13y agoIt doesn't work in internet explorer 11.
- curiousphil 13y agoThanks, we'll look into this.
- herokusaki 13y agoWhy did you choose ImpactJS?
- curiousphil 13y agoOur team has been using ImpactJS for a couple years now for html5 game development. We've established a good workflow and some helpful tools that make developing for multiple platforms fairly straightforward. Impact is fairly established now and has a good community.
- nogridbag 13y agoFun game. I noticed occasionally the flapping sound would not play (Chrome 32 - desktop) and sometimes the gameplay wasn't quite smooth which surprised me as there aren't many entities on the screen. I'm just getting started with ImpactJS and I'm hoping I made the right choice! It was still a very amusing game. Too bad your office isn't on the east coast!
- curiousphil 13y agoThanks for trying it out and providing some feedback. We definitely have some optimization to do still so hopefully we can get it running silky smooth. Where on the east coast are you? One of our project managers works from home in upstate New York. Good luck with Impact! We've been pretty happy with it.
