Flappy bird prototype - Game Development Mini Degree

In this project, we created a Flappy Bird–style tap-to-fly prototype using Unity.

The goal was to learn input handling, physics-based movement, obstacle spawning, scoring, and game loop structure - while keeping the scope small and publishable.

This is Prototype #2 in the CSGD mini degree prototype series.

What I Learned

During this mini project, I practiced,

• Rigidbody2D impulse movement
• Tap / Click / Space input handling
• Obstacle pipe spawning
• Trigger-based scoring
• Game Over & Restart flow
• Parallax / scrolling world
• Publishing a WebGL build to itch.io

Core Features

• Tap to fly
• Random pipe spawner
• Score increments when passing pipes
• Collision => Game Over
• Restart button / key
• Scrolling background

Built With

• Unity (2D)
• C# Scripting

Part of a Prototype Series

This game is one of the weekly prototypes developed in the Game Development Mini Degree at Ceylon School of Game Design (CSGD).

Each prototype focuses on a single core mechanic to build real development skills, one step at a time.

How to Play

• Keep on Pressing Space 
• Avoid the pipes 
• Try to beat your highest score!
