UPDATE 3:
Fixed the bug where you could fall so far beneath the level that you would never collide with anything. Thx @Mot!
UPDATE 2:
Holy diver, dear game, please let me be. Sooooooo. I HAD to reintegrate the difficulty ramping, and i figured i have to explain myself a little better.
This is my first attempt at a tweetcard. It was completely unexpected for me, but i enjoyed optimizing A LOT!
I learned how to shorten if statements, prints and everything else from the great articles people wrote about tweetcards.
Press X to flap,
beat my score of 33.
Oh yeah, and its 278 chars now :)
UPDATE:
Ok, the critic won, i remade it to be tweetable, i preserved the highscore but had to axe the difficulty ramping.
Thx for any suggestions to further enhance!
Original Post:
I tried to make flappy bird in under 500 chars.
Have fun and suggest ideas to push it sub 400!


Ah, you see, @taxicomics, it was possible to fit it in 280-characters after all. :) In fact the first Flappy Bird game for 280-characters. Well done.
Gold star work.


Hi @taxicomics:
To make it more challenging, you could increase the speed of the poles based upon the score.


Use ⬅️ and ➡️ arrow keys to change score.
I think this is still possible in 280-chars. I finally wrote my own version, but I'm curious to see if you do more to yours.


@taxicomics I think my best legitimate score was about 29.
You're welcome to use my Wolf 3D engine. I think this version is probably the easiest starting point.
