Flappy Birds meets Tron

PLAYABLE ON WINDOWS OR MOBILE
SPACE, LEFT CLICK, or TAP (mobile) to jump. Avoid the red lasers! 

How far can you go?

This game is more than just a flappy birds clone -- it was a personal exercise on psychology and game theory. I built this game as a hands on study of the following two questions:

1) What makes a game like flappy birds so addictive, and how can I recreate that phenomenon within my own games?

2) How can I enhance the experience to create a more sustainable and enjoyable, and less psychologically and socially detrimental game? 

It's still a prototype, but I hope you enjoy. The game does get more difficult as time progresses within the first three minutes or so, although the difficulty progression could be adjusted further. 

Future features:

-More music tracks that unlock as you attain a higher score

-Some aesthetic tron-like buildings to go in the background 

-Continue fine-tuning the gameplay until the game reaches a polished balance of calm and compulsiveness

-Jump Sound FX

-Coins to collect?

-A shop with player colors and different particle effects?

-Possibly a story vs. free mode
