Flutter Bird
Simple Flappy Bird like, created in Tiniest2D, with custom assets, and High Score support.
About This Game
My first game created with the Tiniest2D Game Engine. Created as part of the as far as I'm aware unnamed Tiniest2D Early Adopter (release a game in 30 days and the engine is yours forever) Game Jam.
It's a simple bird flight game where you have to fly through the gaps in brick walls, very much inspired by the famous flappy bird. I chose to make this style game as a first project, because the Tiniest2D game engine has flappy bird clone as one of its project file starter templates and I figured it would be easier to learn the scripting language if I had a working example to start from.
I created all the assets, and then added code to move the background, and tree, tweaked the physics so that the bird is easier to control, but the gaps are a bit more difficult, made the score update logic more responsive, and added a high score function that doesn't save your score, but does track it between runs. As well as a few more minor improvements.
The end result is nothing ground breaking, but is a nice simple arcade style game, that is amusing to play. I created this mostly as a learning exercise so I'm releasing it for free.

The Journey of Making This Game
I saw Guilherme Teres's Youtube video "I made the TINIEST 2D Game Engine POSSIBLE! - and it's FREE!" and thought that Tiniest2D looked interesting. I've always been interested in game dev, but tend to get bogged down in the pre-production planning phase, and never get anything finished. So since there was an interesting engine being offered as a reward for actually finishing I project, I decided that now was the time to challenge myself, and actually release a game.
I had a more ambitious game planned for the as of yet un-named 30 day game jam, but I decided to make this game first, because actually releasing games has always been what I've struggled with, and the Tiniest2D game engine came with a functioning Flappy Bird clone starter project I could use as a base line to improve on so I wouldn't get distracted in dreaming up the perfect game and then never getting around to finishing it.
Now that I have some experience with the engine I hope to go on to create the other game I originally planned on and hopefully release it as well.
How Uniday Studio Helped
Created Tiniest2D game engine, and made a Youtube video about it, announcing that if I finished and released a game with Tiniest2D within 30 days the Engine would be mine to keep forever. Basically they provided both the tools and motivation I needed to succeed.
