Make Flappy Box – DIY Game Kit

[thebouv]

I'd like this better if it wasn't tied to Flappy Bird. If it were just a more generic kit for fun. I definitely like the idea of using it for workshops for kids to get into tech, etc. But blatantly Flappy Bird? Sours it a little for me.

They have other options as well. Flappy birds is one of the themes.

Flappy Bird isn't even a rewarding game, so it's a weird thing to base a project around. No one I know can score higher than 5 in Flappy Bird.

There seems to be a lot of negativity here, and it feels misplaced.

I think this looks fantastic, and a project I'd like to try with some of the more advanced kids in my school. The fact that its based on Flappy Bird is a bonus. My students loved making Flappy Bird in Scratch, so they'll probably love trying this as well.

I like how the box closes down on you when you lose. Nice touch!

It blatantly pulls the image of the bird, as well as the name. I'm opposed to crap like trademarking "Candy" in a game name, but "Flappy" is distinct enough that this is pretty blatant. Honestly, while it looks like a cool project, were it not completely capitalizing on Flappy Bird, it'd be another one of those Kickstarters to struggle to $200.

Ah def - we got the personal green light from Dong Nguyen before launching with his theme - he's awesome!

Flappy Bird aside, it looks like a cool project with minimal funding requirements.

More importantly it seems like a good cause.
