Clappy Bird (hint: clap!)

by jihop
Clap your way through tall buildings and rain drops!

You _literally_ clap to make Clappy Bird fly.

Install apk directly on your Android or get it from Google Play -- free, no ad. (what's the best way to submit mobile games on LD?)

----------

We wanted to bring a fresh idea to the old flappy bird mechanic. It was very challenging working with audio detection in android (Fast Fourier Transform FTW!), but we figured most of it out. Our clap detection needs to be more robust, so we will improve it in the future. We couldn't get it working on other platforms given the timeframe.

We really liked working with creative inputs. And hope to make more games like this in the future!

Nice idea, sry can't play as no android, aren't flappy birds illegal worldwide or sthng? Idea reminds me of the donkey kong drumming game... with drumset plugged into Nintendo..

Brilliant little remake of the original game.
The clap idea makes it even more addictive.
Really great idea.

Gratz for creating a pretty robust clap detection (DFFTFTW!). Would love to see a post mortem where you talk about how exactly you did it and what issues you had.
It felt like the bounding boxes of the obstacles were a bit off or to large or sth. which made it even harder to get far :)
Good job!
