Flippin' Flappy Bird. I can't do it!

Oh, is that the last set on one of the earlier games? It took me a while to get the hang of it, but it's a matter of holding fire until the positions are right.

Wait till you try the Space one!

By the way, I am not the only Angry Birds fan, am I Anno?

No Ariadne, it is a different game entirely. All you have to do is tap to keep the bird in place to pass between obstacles which cross the screen. I have increased my score to 3 in the last few minutes, yeah! I understand it can be addictive, mindless though it is.

I have completed Angry Birds plus Rio, Seasons, Space and Star Wars with no problem, although not with all 3*s. They involve logic, physics and geometry which suits me.

Told DD about this. She'd heard but not tried it. She text me to say "I hate you, for putting me on to this" She agrees it's really hard

shysal, perhaps you've had a lucky escape as it seems that 'Flappy Bird' is to flap no more. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/i-cant-take-this-anymore-creator-of-flappy-bird-app-to-take-down-the-addictive-smartphone-hit-9117162.html

Thanks ga, it is a relief to me, but my GCs will be disappointed. I kept trying on and off yesterday evening and achieved a personal best of 6, which I think is the highest score I shall achieve -rubbish!

Sounds interesting, shysal! Is it called Flappy Bird?

I too enjoy Angry Birds; you are right about the skills involved, and I think the later ones are really challenging. I cannot work out Star Wars 2, though!

Give Flappy Bird a try, Ariadne, free to download, and according to ga's link, it won't be available after this evening.
And don't you dare tell me you are finding it easy!

Thanks - I can't now resist the impulse to download Flappy Birds!

I have e-mailed DD the link. Don't know if she will be relieved or annoyed

I haven't got past 2 at this game! My DGS aged 9 tried it for first time and scored 9, grrrrrr.

rosesarered, my 13 yr old GD is on 39! I am still stuck on 6. The bird usually takes a nose dive at the first or second pipe.
