Show HN: Flappy Bird and Wordle
Hey HN! FlappyBirdle combines elements from the game Flappy Bird
and the popular word game Wordle. I wanted to see if I could make a
game that added urgency to Wordle, while also feeling outragous at
the same time. I think I achieved it with FlappyBirdle. Every time
you type a letter of the word, the bird flaps its wings and you get
closer to the goal. It also has an easy mode that ignores the
pipes, so even beginners can get a good score. Let me know if you
have any ideas on how I can make it better!
