Flapi Mas
A Flappy Bird political satire game built in Unity
During the winter of 2014 the Flappy Bird game went viral. At the time I was working as a freelance web developer and designer, and had some free time that summer to pursue mobile game development.
The Project
As a first-time mobile game creator with online tutorial experience, I was inspired by Catalan independence news and the wave of Flappy Bird clones. I decided to build a parody game to learn Unity and app publishing. Development took approximately one week to get to Play Store readiness. I created all visual assets, edited sound effects, and coded the game.
The game features former Catalan president Artur Mas as protagonist escaping Spain — an ironic view of the Catalan independence desires. As a curiosity, the game is intentionally frustrating and never ends, mirroring Spanish political conflicts.
Reception
The game was featured in Catalan news outlets, radio, and local television. It's still available on the Google Play Store.
