Rappy Bird by dannywalker

made by dannywalker for LD 41 (JAM)

Rappy Bird 🐤

Flappy bird, but you're also trying to lay down a dope hip hop beat.

Sorry for this.

How to play đŸ•šī¸

Use keyboard keys E-I and D-J to control the bird. Each key plays a different drum sound.

Try and make a dope beat and stay alive! The "Download last beat" button should let you download what you played on your last turn as a .wav file.

If you're having trouble staying alive, the slider adjusts the gravity in the game, so you can tweak it to suit the tempo of the beat you're going for.

It helps to play some rap vocals in the background, a YouTube playlist is provided.

Shout Out đŸ“Ŗ

Big, big shout out to Daniel Shiffman and his YouTube Channel The Coding Train for the video series walking through the implementation of a Flappy Bird clone in p5.js. It saved me countless dev time and allowed this stupid game to come into being.

This is my first ever game jam, and I'm kind of only entering to get a feel for it and to learn for future jams. I had fun throwing this together and hope you have fun playing it!

You should polish this up and sell it! This is way more fun than Flappy Bird

A nice idea, but I found myself just trying to play it like Flappy Bird and ignoring the beat part.

Welcome to your first game jam, and keep coding!

Well, +1 for creativity! Amusing little game, although it does gets boring after some minutes. :)

Very cool! I couldn't hear any audio, but it doesn't seem others have that problem so it's probably a configuration thing on my end. This is definitely a good mix for the theme
