The Game Idea

As they say, the best artists steal...
To make a "new" game, I like to play around with some incremental improvements to an existing game.
I chose Flappy Bird.

The gameplay is simple. It was notoriously popular.
The simplicity plus the popularity means that there are tons of YouTube videos on how to make it.
Now I just needed to "Valentine" it up a bit and add some twist to make it my own.
