Flap the Bird

Flap the Bird is a small, deliberately familiar game: tap to flap, avoid the pipes, try to beat your own score. It exists because I wanted a project where the interesting problem was polish rather than novelty — input latency, difficulty pacing, and the moment-to-moment feel of a single button.

What is in it

• Tap-to-flap physics tuned for short sessions
• A gentler difficulty ramp than the games it borrows from
• Day and night backgrounds that swap as you score
• Works fully offline
• No sign-up and no in-app purchases

What it does not have

I would rather list what is missing than oversell it. There are no skins, no power-ups, no cloud save and no social features. The leaderboard is local only, which means uninstalling the app clears your score.

Built with

Written as a single-activity Android app, with the render loop and collision handling kept small enough to reason about in one sitting. Ads are limited to an interstitial between runs.
