I did find myself playing around with the doppler effects a bit. That said, I\u2019m not sure it really adds much to the core Flappy Bird style gameplay. I could see mainly because the game forces you to jump, not because I was choosing to use the mechanic, so the visibility ended up feeling more like a side effect than something I was actively using.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1206402,"author_name":"anete ainj\u00e4rv","author_uid":"anete-ainjarv","epoch":1776881162,"text":"the death animation and sound are so funny xd Hope I didn't bonk his head too hard.

It gets you addicted to chasing new high-scores because the rounds start out difficult and only get more difficult, which means you're never bored and the rounds are usually short enough that they get you wanting to give it another go. \nFor this game though, I felt like it was more of an endurance test for my wrist to keep clicking. The jump was maybe a little too small. It signaled so often that the limited vision didn't have much of an impact besides giving me a bit of a headache haha. I still enjoyed it!! But I didn't feel that drive to play another round. \n\n![flappybird.png](\/\/\/raw\/66a\/86\/z\/72558.png)","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1206653,"author_name":"JonasOlsson","author_uid":"jonasolsson","epoch":1776884484,"text":"@anete-ainjarv You are spot on!
