This is a side-scrolling game inspired by Flappy Bird, built using only vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
- Fully responsive design – Ensures smooth gameplay across all devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
- Timer to track gameplay duration – Allows players to challenge themselves by keeping track of their survival time.
- Rechargeable energy system for players – Adds a strategic element where players must manage their energy to maintain flight.
- Speed boost functionality – Introduces an element of risk and reward, allowing players to gain temporary bursts of speed. However, improper timing can make maneuvering more challenging, increasing the difficulty of avoiding obstacles.
Short-Term (Next 2 Weeks):
- Add restart logic: Implement an event listener for game-over detection and a restart function
- Introduce in-game instructions for first-time players
Mid-Term (Next Month):
- Improve speed boost mechanics to make transitions smoother (e.g., prevent boosting until the color changes based on recharge time)
Long-Term (Ongoing Enhancements):
- Enhance the visual appeal of the overlay (e.g., animated dino soaring around)
