Flappy Bird RTX, the Flappy Bird of the moment

You can spend hours without even realizing it, and you'll still be trying to beat your records in Flappy Bird RTX.

I don't know if you remember the famous Flappy Bird created by a Vietnamese developer named Dong Nguyen under his company, dotGears. The game had been a real hit. In case you don't remember, I'll give you a brief explanation of what the game consisted of:

The game had a "vintage" aesthetic. It reminded many of the mythical Mario Bros with its aesthetics.

The game's objective is to fly between green pipes (similar to Mario Bros, by the way) and not crash up or down. And this was the game's fun: going through as many pipes as possible without crashing. If you crashed, you lost, and the game restarted from zero.

The exciting thing is that the pipes changed length, and the space you could fly was changing. This generated a very intense game in which you had to have incredible coordination and reflexes to pass through the next pipe. As you progressed further in the game and generated more points, the space you could fly in the pipes became much smaller.

Also, the pipes appeared and disappeared on the screen as the bird moved. So, the bird was still centered on the screen, but the tubes were what moved in and out.

It was a big hit. The creator of the game commented in an interview with The Verge that the game was turning over $50,000 daily.

After a while, the same creator removed the game from the App Store of all platforms because he felt guilty that the game had become an addiction (which is accurate).

After that, big companies tried to release similar games (too similar), and they were removed due to licensing issues. What was missing was for someone to twist the game and add features, so far….

Introducing the Flappy Bird RTX Game

This game has quality graphics and a very well-designed aesthetic. In the game, you are a bird in HD quality. And you have a very realistic city in the background.

The pipes look like actual pipes. All the aesthetics are elegant. Also, you have an effect of the sun that comes in through the buildings in the background, giving it a nice touch and using a technology we'll develop later.

The logic of the game remains the same as previously reported. You are a bird that has to go through the pipes without crashing; if you crash, you lose. So you can spend hours trying to break the previous record.

It should be noted that the feel of the game is different. Between the beautiful images of the game and the background music, the feeling is not as frantic as in the original Flappy Bird. The pace at which the bird flies through each interaction is much slower and more calculated.

If the previous game felt like a race against yourself, this one feels like a calculated way of moving.

They're different

Aside from being all 3D, it gives another feel to the game. Think that all the objects are 3D, so you might not have crashed if they were flat 2D objects, but being 3D, a part of the bird can be crashed.

And to close the article, I want to clarify RTX, in case you didn't know. This is the property that the light has to set in certain places. In English, it is "Ray Tracing, "which would be something like a light tracer.

In the game, a light from the sun is projected through the buildings. If the mode is applied, Ray Tracing can track the sun and adapt the shadow to you as you move. Gone is the concept of predetermined shadows or predetermined reflections. The shadow now adapts to the environment, and so does the lighting.
