This is not a good game. It's much harder to control the fraction and keep it from impacting the obstacles (or the edges) than Flappy Bird, and there's no explanation that you can safely touch fractions of the same value. And given that the score increases by powers of two, I have no idea why it's divided by three at all.

It's probably because thirds rhymes with bird.

"Hey, what if we designed our entire core game mechanic around a pun?"

This is not a good game.

And neither was Flappy Bird.

I feel like there's some sort of lesson here somewhere.

Good work. If I were you, I'd try to show this to the guys at the Lumosity brain training thing.

No it isn't.

PhasmaFelis2• 12 years ago

Indeed. It's more like..."You know those two things you know about? I've combined them into a third thing that will tickle your recognition engine with the absolute minimum effort on my part!"

It's kind of like those "parody" movies that satirize pop culture, except they don't really, they just...present it. And expect you to laugh, because Hey! I recognize that!

beef up the font, maybe i'm getting old, but i could barely track the numbers to know which one to target.

You can do this yourself in your browser, using e.g. "Ctrl +" on Linux or Windows and "Cmd +" on OS X.

Just another flappy turd.

Distinct colors would go a long way toward making this more playable

Ha, brings me back to my Fraction Munchers days.

I'm still waiting for Flappy Bhaskara II version (the indeterminate quadratic equations, ax2 + b = y2)

If fractions are your thing, you should be playing Frog Fractions.

I think you should only get one chance to match a fraction. If you miss, then you must avoid all three until you crash.

alanfalcon• 12 years ago

But what about cases where you match two (or maybe even three) fractions in a single wave?

I think it's fun and a good time-waster. Lack of colors and stages should prevent "addiction".

Somewhat like a super fusion of 2048 & flappy bird. Made my brains run like a horse ..
