Well spotted with the white noise (its the noise of the wind as you fly) actually its a bug, ok so I admit the sound... I contest that statement. Like all other software,, unexpected results are "features" unless they impact gameplay. :-) |

Oh it gets harder  , though you can get better at it.. I probably didn't spend enough time working out the levels- just that they are physically possible.. as its not random like flappy bird. In theory its possible to complete the game - though I doubt anyone will. I could make an easier version (or difficulty setting) Today I've read and learnt a bit about the original game Flappy Bird and now know: The game MUST be that hard. When will you discontinue VeccyBird? ;-) |

Good to read that higher scores are feasible (for me in theory ;-) ). |

My best score is.... 2 ;-D
I think that the game should be easier in the first 5-10 gates so you could take the feel to the bird.
Awesome game, congratulations.

Inevitably the press comes to Veccy Bird due to Flappy Bird's demise on iOS in pop culture. www.hardcoregamer.com/2014/02/20/even-the-vectrex-has-a-flappy-bird-clone-now/75378/"  Posted by Steve Hannley on 20 Feb 2014EVEN THE VECTREX HAS A FLAPPY BIRD CLONE NOW Flappy Bird is now officially inescapable. Removing it from the app store had the opposite effect of killing it, inspiring countless clones (one of which even starred Lebron James as the titular “ Floppy Bron“). Now, against all odds, the Vectrex has a Flappy Bird clone. Yes, you read that correctly, the 1982 vector display console made by GCE/Milton Bradley has Flappy Bird. Dubbed “Veccy Bird,” the game was programed by homebrew developer Michael Simonds. This is actually quite the impressive accomplishment, as not only is it not exactly easy to program for a thirty-two year old console, but it’s one of the few sidescrollers we’ve ever seen run on it. Even more amazing, it looks and functions pretty dang similar to the iOS original. You can download the game for free right here and play it on an emulator or throw it on a flash cart and play it on the real deal. Check out a video below and make sure to snag a Vectrex before there’s a run on them to experience Veccy Bird: " |

Today I went to 16 (and was called "sitting duck"), but didn't manage to reach more before becoming very angry against all the birds in the world!  |

Well done, you need to get to 20 to get the next rating. I'm thinking I should make another version of the game thats more Level based..so like flappy bird crossed with Badland (which is a great game and more level based)
It's possible to beat Veccy Bird , but with the scores people are telling me I don't think anyones going to get close to that. So maybe shorter levels, say 10 pipes per level and make it progressively more difficult.

Haven't got the time before to play it and I don't wanted to write: "HEY! THAT'S COOL!" without playing it or just to write something ^^ So, I can say that I really like it :-) Great Work, don't know that game before  |
