Flappy Duck

The Project

Flappy Duck is a single player platformer game made on MakeCode Arcade. It's currently around 75% finished so there's still a bit of work we want to do with improving our game. It is a side-scrolling, jumping game based on timing. It is clearly inspired by the infamous Flappy Bird. Our game can be beaten but it is quite difficult. This is the first game we have made on our own and we have worked on it together over a few weeks. We have had some minor problems getting everything to work properly but out game is now mostly running really smoothly and we think it's pretty cool. We hope you like our game!

Team Comments

We made this game to have fun and also for engagement with digital technologies. We are interested in video game design and careers based on creative skills. Working on this game is great experience in this area.

We found it difficult to get the movement working as well as we would like it. We researched and tested a lot of different things about this so we could get it right. This was mainly around gravity and jumping: y axis velocity and acceleration values.

We would like to add more levels that introduce new variations of the gameplay loop and increase in difficulty.
