Incredible Flappy

Flappy Bird for your terminal, with three ways to play: dodge the pipes, graze the flowers, or shoot the invaders.

It can be played in the terminal, using native macOS and Windows app or right here in the browser. It's written in Rust using the Incredible TUI framework. Inspired by (meaning parts lifted verbatim) Impossible Flappy.

Play

Pick a game on the splash screen with Tab, then Enter to start. Clicking a game starts it directly. The ← button (top left) goes back to splash.

• BASIC — classic flappy. Thread the pipe gaps, one point per gap.
• GRAZE — flowers grow instead of some pipes. Land on a bud for a point, but bumping one kills you. Passing flowers pays nothing.
• SHOOT — pipes plus roaming alien pairs. Every boost also fires a bullet: kills score, pipes swallow bullets.

Controls

• Tab to select
• Enter / Space / click — flap
• K — kitty mode
• Esc — pause in flight, Enter resumes
• Mouse works

Files

Settings (kitty mode) and best scores are kept in a .incredible-flappy file under the OS app-data directory:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/incredible-flappy/.incredible-flappy
• Linux: ~/.local/share/incredible-flappy/.incredible-flappy (or $XDG_DATA_HOME/incredible-flappy/.incredible-flappy)
• Windows: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\incredible-flappy\.incredible-flappy
