FLAPPYCREATOR ALTERNATIVE
FlappyCreator was the go-to free tool for making your own flappy bird game for more than a decade. Its creator has shut the site down, and flappycreator.com now shows a closure notice. Thanks for ten years of free flappy fun.
If you came looking for it, Flappy Lab does the same job: you bring the pictures, it builds a playable flappy game in about a minute, and you can share it with anyone.
How they compare
| Feature | Flappy Creator | Flappy Lab |
|---|---|---|
| Upload your own bird, pipes & background | Yes | Yes |
| Free | Yes | Yes |
| Custom sound effects | Yes | Not yet |
| Still online | No, shut down | Yes |
Also in Flappy Lab
- Animated GIFs for the bird, pipes and background, and they keep moving in-game. (How GIF games work.)
- Custom hitboxes: auto-crop, or draw the outline yourself.
- Two control modes: tap to flap, or hold to fly for jets and rockets.
- Physics tuning with a live difficulty rating from Chill to Evil.
- Leaderboards on every game, plus a new official game every day (FlappyLab Daily).
- A community: your game is posted to r/FlappyLab where other people actually play it.
What’s different
- No custom sound uploads (yet).
- Games live on Reddit. Playing needs no account; posting your game needs a free Reddit account.
- Posted games are public. There are no private games.
Make your first one
- Open the lab on Reddit and tap [ CREATE ].
- Upload a bird, pipes and a background (photos, PNGs or GIFs).
- Crop, tune the physics, test-play.
- Post it and share the link.
