FlappyVort New 2026 Release

Post by Roobar »

Check out:

FlappyVort 2026

Hello guys! I've updated my old browser game FlappyVort from 2014 to work for today's browsers. :garg

While I was at it, I've added plenty of new stuff:
- new characters to choose from
- new animations
- new sounds
- new backgrounds
- new pipes
- new grounds
- added music
- added ability to randomize all of these
- added difficulty settings
- now works on mobile browsers too
- play with mouse, keyboard or touchscreen
- hi-score tables for both difficulties

If you find any bugs, please report. Thanks! Happy flapp-ying.

Version 1.2:
- Buttery smoother scrolling through pages and game. No more lagging in browsers.
- Ability to change the border colors. Default is cyan. Optional black and color based on the in-game background.
- Improved FlyPest behaviour.
- Improved collision. Players should no longer fall through/inside bottom pipes.

Version 1.1:
- A total of 9 new characters added (some with unique behaviour)
- Added few more backgrounds
- Hi-scores now should be saved between sessions (but apparently, they're not)
- Fixed Foob which didn't played sound when landing on the ground.

The below was the outdated post:

Well, you know, it's that time of the year...

It's still under development, but you can already try the beta here.
Edit: it's no longer in development.

I assume your screenshots are mockups? The working interface is a bit different.



Also, I am better than all of you:

Heh. When I made those screenshots, I thought "Why not make a real game out of this and fool those who would think "meh, another April fools joke"?". And I took this joke one step further and made an actual game :P.

Like the (still unreleased) XXX mod.

Anyway, this is cool. I'd like to see another version with a Keen character that actually flies, like a skypest, or a bip ship, or one of those jacks from the cave of oblivion.

Introducing... FlappyPest!

The 'pest doesn't actually respond to your taps, so you're pretty much guaranteed to lose the game quite quickly no matter what you do. This is very annoying, for that classic Skypest feeling.

As far as mobile games go, I'm more of a fan of 2D auto-run games like Bit Trip Runner. That one works better than the random ones, so you can actually memorize what's coming next on difficult levels. And it auto restarts the level instead of waiting for death to finish.

I downloaded this game, but when I opened index.html, the sprites are all displaying as black squares with a green border and one diagonal line. I'm not sure why this is the case, since I've extracted all the files. Is my browser too new? I've tried it with Pale Moon, Brave, and Firefox.
