Worth Playing: 02/14/2014

We've already seen you play Spelunky :P

The music is "Vietnam" by Kozilek in case anyone is interested.

@patrickklepek Klonoa? What about another Alundra!?

... You said 1 V too many. ONE TOO MANY

I rate my videogamesmen and women on their ability to pronounce VVVVVV correctly.

Who wants to be my valentine?

That Maverick Bird game is the first WP game (and game jam game) I've a actually wanted to go play. That VVVVVV is one of my favorite game designers right now. I still throw down some Super Hexagon once in a while.

LOL - "What are you doing Namco - Get your shit together"

Patrick you make me laugh

I like Patrick's radio DJ persona at the beginning.

Anyone else see the freeze frame of Twitter around 18:16? Weird.

Maverick Bird is pretty pretty pretty good - music makes it

The whole time he is playing Maverick Bird it seems like a death montage. I've played a stupid amount of that game. It's great/the worst/the best/arghh.

also @patrickklepek it's hard to tell the tone of the FlappyJam but overall it has produced some really interesting games: http://corpsmoderne.net/fsp/ <--- this one stands out along with a few others here: http://itch.io/jam/flappyjam

The mmo and this one are great.

The only thing I don't like about "Maverick Bird" is that it calls itself a "Flappy Bird Fan Game". I hope it's tongue in cheek, because I've been playing games exactly like that since I had a PalmPilot Professional in the late 90s.

Man, Terry Cavanagh games have incredible music.

GG? Really? Gotta hate internet speak.

I'm gonna be so happy when people will finally stop talking about flappy bird

I need that maverick bird song. need. in my ears. all the time

by the way here is that sweet jam

What's with the Twitter screen between 18:16 and 18:17?

Just weird flickering by Xsplit.

@patrickklepek:

My current favorite is Flappy Space Program.

You have to get as many birds as possible in orbit at the same time, without letting them collide.

Yep, Maverick bird is one Cavanagh-ass Cavanagh game.

Cavanagh loves hard games so maybe he does like that Flappy Bird made the helicopter game hard.

Hooooly shit, Maverick Bird. That is my jam.

Awesome seeing Maverick Bird on here. Been playing it the last 2 days more than I'd like to admit. The music is kickin!

I can't click fast enough to launch them...

You can use just about any key/button or a combination of them. It can help to use multiple fingers and/or hands. I put one finger on each Ctrl key and alternate between them to go faster.

There should be a place where we could share our Maverick Bird scores and thoughts. I'm currently at 72.

I think the tone varies from dev to dev. Some people have made some really clever satire, others have made unique and challenging versions of the "genre," and other just made dumb/silly clones.

Fuck. I just had seven birds orbiting simultaneously and then it all came crumbling down.

The music in Maverick Bird is soooo good.

The intro to I am a Brave Knight looked straight out of Never Ending Story.

EDIT: It looks like it was intentional.

I really love Terry Cavanagh. I just want that dudes games forever. No idea what makes them super good to me, but Super Hexagon and VVVVVV are fantastic.

Don't Look Back is also highly recommended.

Flap. Dive. ... Kick!

That last one really got Patrick good!

Just from the thumbnail I figured that Terry Cavanagh had made some Flappy Bird clone.

@bobeta: It's sort of funny. Do you think if that game came out it would have received the same amount of hate as Flappy Bird? I feel like that game almost would have gotten a pass because of the games that designer has created in the past.

I'm trying to load the webpage for Maverick Bird and Chrome is refusing to load it. Anyone here have an idea why?

And here is my doofy mash-up of that song with Ke$ha's "Blow" - as endorsed by Kozilek!

@buzz_clik Oh lord.

After Dark Souls and now Maverick Bird, I'm continuously impressed by how good Patrick is a games... or at least how much better he is than me.

New series. Flappin' with Scoops
