Flappy Phoenix

See the blog post on the devlopment of this game over here!

Welcome to Flappy Phoenix, a game built using Phoenix LiveView. In this game, you control a little phoenix bird (the same one from the Phoenix Framework logo) and your goal is to avoid other framework logos while keeping the bird within the screen bounds. The game gets progressively harder as you play, so stay sharp!

Note:

This project should not be confused with Flappy Phoenix. When I first thought up the concept and title for this game, I had no idea that that project existed. It's a pretty old project that implements an early version LiveView to create a faithful Flappy bird clone. You should check it out if you are interested: it's pretty cool!
