Flappybalt
A downloadable game
A Playdate port of AdamAtomic's Flappybalt, Ported from the open source repo over at HaxeFlixel. This Playdate port is also open source, and that source is available at my own Github repo here.
It's a flappy bird like, with a Canabalt twist. It's got a pumping soundtrack courtesy of DavidKBD and generally, it's really fun to play whenever you've got a few minutes to kill.
Controls:
- Press any button to make the bird flap and move higher.
- Check the menu options to flip the screen, change audio settings, or delete highscore save.
- This game doesn't use the crank, it feels totally wrong in a game like this.
Installing:
- Log in to your Playdate Account at play.date.
- Go to your Account page.
- Go to the Sideload page.
- Drag or select the .pdx game file (or zipped .pdx) to upload it.
Read full instructions, and other options to sideload games on the Playdate website!
Don't have a Playdate but want to play this game? You can! You'll need to install the Playdate SDK, and once installed you can unzip the game file, and double click the PDX file inside to start playing.

v0.1.0 - Initial release!

this is great for a few minutes of short games, aiming for a new hiscore. 23 is my best so far. Like how the screen is used in portrait mode!![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE1ODk0NjQ3LmpwZWc=/original/ZD6019.jpeg)
