so flappy. much dogecoin. wow.

What happens when you mix the latest game clone craze with the hottest Bitcoin alternative payment clone?

It’s time to play . . . Super Doge!

The gameplay is similar to Flappy Bird, which means it’s pretty basic. The twist is that as you navigate your doge through the pipes, you collect coins, which can be redeemed for dogecoins. The more coins you collect, the greater your share of dogecoins you can earn per day.

The complicated formula is articulated on the developer’s web site, but to keep it simple, if you were the only player of the game per day, you’d earn all the dogecoins.

Unfortunately for you, the game is getting popular, with 5000 downloads so far according to The Daily Dot. At this point, Gamezebo is receiving about 25 review requests per day for Flappy Bird clones, but this game is unique in it is apparently not based on a $10 framework.

And, not surprisingly, it’s Android only for now. The iPhone may get the exclusive on Threes! and every other favorite new app of mine, but Android gets Super Doge.

The developer is currently donating the prize money, but requesting volunteers to pay into the prize pool. Given how tipsy the Dogecoin community is (as the Jamaican bobsled team can attest), he should be successful building it up.

The 10 best #FlappyJam games (so far)
By Jillian Werner
While Flappy Bird may be gone from the App Store, it's far from forgotten. This week, indie developers around the world have banded together in a show of solidarity for the bug-eyed bird that was and its humble, overwhelmed creator, Dong Nguyen. Their virtual pat on the back comes in the form of Flappy Bird-inspired games designed specifically for #FlappyJam. Although FlappyJam was started by developer Ivano Palmentieri only a few days ago—with its first submission, Bouncy Pixel by Aaron Puente, going live February 9th—there are already 140 games available to play and more consistently pouring in. While many entries follow the basic fly-through-dangers premise of Flappy Bird, the themes, focal points, and even genres range from disembodied floating heads and arsonist Pikachus to text adventures. The one shared trait among every entry is difficulty, which is both stated on the FlappyJam page and has been reiterated by Palmentieri numerous times on Twitter: "I had to specify on the jam site that FLAPPY word or gameplay are NOT mandatory, only 'rule' is to make a hard game AND have fun."The goal of FlappyJam is to show support for Flappy Bird, Nguyen as a game designer, and the entire indie development scene, with the thoughtful mission statement that "indie game devs are friendly and supportive, envy and teasing should not belong to our community, nor be a cause of suffering." As Palmentieri reminded potential entrants yesterday: "Guys, just as a reminder: the point is not making Flappy Bird clones or anything, we are just trying to have fun and support each other." If you'd like to show your own support for the indie development community, all of the FlappyJam games can be viewed, and many played, here. We've called out ten of our favorites below.

Flappy Golf Review
By Nadia Oxford
Cats have nine lives, but birds live forever. At least, that's the impression you might get from the tsunami of Flappy Bird clones that washed onto the App Store and Google Play once Dong Nguyen's original flapper took its leave.Most Flappy Bird clones attempt to carry on what Nguyen began, which is why we have dozens - maybe hundreds - of games about getting a bird (or a fish, or a dragon, or a tiny butt) to fly through various objects. There have been more than enough Flappy Bird facsimiles to fill the void left by the original, but Noodlecake Studios gets a gold star for actually evolving the original Flappy Bird with Flappy Golf.Flappy Golf essentially cross-breeds Flappy Bird's physics with the golf courses from the already-released Super Stickman Golf 2, a hit "extreme golf" game from Noodlecake. But whereas Super Stickman Golf 2 challenges you to hit the ball into the cup, in Flappy Golf, you are the ball (meditate on that, why don'tchya).
