'''''Flappy''''' is a puzzle game by [[dB-Soft]] in the same vein as ''[[Adventures of Lolo]]'' and ''[[Sokoban]]'' that is little known outside of [[Japan]]. It features Flappy, a somewhat mole-like character who must complete each level by pushing a blue stone from its starting place to the blue tile destination. |
|||
Flappy first appeared on the [[Sharp X1]] home computer in 1983. This debut was soon followed by with conversions to a number of popular Japanese computers in the early 1980s, including the NEC's line of PCs and the [[Fujitsu]] FM series. As a puzzle game, it was well suited to these early systems since it didn't require a tremendous amount of graphical sophistication. Ports for the [[MSX]] computer line and the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Famicom]] were released in 1985.<ref>[http://www.famicomworld.com/Family_Computer/Games.htm Famicom Games], Famicom World.</ref> DB-Soft produced a sequel with more difficult puzzles called ''King Flappy'' for the benefit of anyone who managed to clear the original 200 levels. A [[Game Boy|Nintendo Game Boy]] port was released exclusively in Japan in 1990 and was published by [[Victor Musical Industries]].<ref>[http://www.gamekult.com/tout/jeux/fiches/J000078040.html Flappy Special], Gamekult.com.</ref> Over time, Flappy has continued to see many graphically improved upgrades, such as on the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] platform and on several mobile phone devices. {{Fact|date=June 2007}} It was released on Japan's [[Virtual Console]] in 2007. |
|||
Two officially-unreleased variants of Flappy, ''Floppy'' and ''Beyond Floppy'', were programmed by [[Greg Hale]] and Ted Cohn for the [[Apple II series|Apple II]] platform.<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/chi.general/browse_thread/thread/63f9316273928154/e01ee6643537859c Thread on chi.general].</ref> Floppy featured special names for each of the game's levels. Included with both Apple II games was an editor which allowed the user to create their own custom levels. |

==Storyline== |
|||
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2007}} |
|||
The beautiful [[planet]] of Blue Star, home-planet to a young boy named FLAPPY, is invaded by Dark Emperor Ngalo-Ngolo. The proud inhabitants of Blue Star, wanting neither war nor the invasion, self-destruct along with the planet on a path of self-determination. FLAPPY, however, is boarded onto an escape capsule headed for neighboring Planet Seviras by his father and so survives. From his capsule he sees fragments of the exploded Blue Star rain down incessantly on Planet Seviras. |
|||
Wandering aimlesslessly about Planet Seviras, FLAPPY reaches an oasis where he suddenly hears a voice from the sky saying, 'Gather up the fragments of Blue Star, the Blue Stones, to this Blue Area. When all of them have been gathered...' FLAPPY, believing a miracle has just occurred, begins on a journey to gather all the Blue Stones. |
|||
==Gameplay== |
|||
Gravity, gaps in the floors, and wandering enemies stand in the way of Flappy reaching his goal. Flappy can pick up and throw sleeping [[mushroom]]s at the enemies to knock them out for a while, or drop stones on them to crush them permanently. There are, however, many obstacles along the way: brick walls you must work your way around, brown stones which you can crush but which can also crush you if they fall on you, holes or dead angles in which the blue stone becomes unretrievable if it falls into them, and moving enemies. The game features just two enemies: Unicorns and Ebira. [[Unicorn]]s are green creatures that move in mostly-repetitive horizontal patterns. Ebira are red [[crab]]-like enemies (the word "ebi" is a Japanese term for [[shellfish]]) that relentlessly chase Flappy both horizontally and vertically. Ebira tend to mimick Flappy's movements, so Flappy must be careful to avoid being charged by a persistent Ebira. |
