I'm not sure if this is the correct thread. I am looking for publisher or developer who can publish my game to ios appstore. The game is a flappy bird clone and you can download the game from google play for free here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.HappyFlapFlap&hl=en If anyone is interested, please pm me. Thanks!
I don't know if this is just a rumor but I read Google will be rejecting apps that imitate Flappy Bird. They say that Apple's IOS App Store will do the same thing. Here is the link: http://guardianlv.com/2014/02/google-shooting-down-flappy-apps/ I hope you find it useful. Btw, are you an independent game developer? Or do you work with a team?
That was a sad news! I'm an independent game developer that make games in flash and uses air for mobile.
Do you work full time as an indie developer? Why not try to change the game title? Add new components and sadly change your design and layout. I don't mean to offend you but it just wouldn't work if you stick to being flappy.
Think thats great news that Apple is doing that. We want decent original games not clone after clone of the latest 'fad'.
But the sad truth is that there are no more original games nowadays. I can put coins and etc. etc. on that game but it is still an old copter game.
I really don't buy that "there are no original games" bs excuse. Don't pretend you made this game because you could not think of anything else to make. It's a cash grab clone game that will arrive to late to the party. Not really saying there is anything wrong with that but let's cut the pretence.
I 100% agree with this. There is plenty of space for clever original games, they are just harder to come up with. They also need more development. I don't have a problem with clones, but I would like to see a point of difference.
I don't mean to offend you but I'm just sick of seeing all these Flappy versions. If I were a game dev, I will only look at Flappy's so called "success" as inspiration or motivation for me to create a game that the world will appreciate and love. As the other guys have said, there is still plenty of space for new ideas.
Just because I made this game doesn't mean I ran out of ideas, I made this game for fun and my friends loved it. Then put on app store and tried to make some extra cash. That's why I opened a thread here. If you hate it or sick of it, then I'm sorry.
This game will probably get rejected at the moment for being too similar to flappy bird. But you might sneak through because it is called Flap Flap rather than using Flappy in the title. I just had one declined, it wasn't even a clone, but I called it Flappy Chicken and that was too much. Changed it to Chicken Flap, and have to wait a week again to see if that gets through.
