V1.5 Beta #1

This is Flappy Bird V1.5 Beta Number 1

Hey! How's it going? It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been hard at work preparing for the next beta, and it's finally here; bringing some welcome improvements, changes, and brand-new features. Took forever to get the game stable enough to account for all these new features!

• Due to feedback, Flappy Bird no longer dies when hitting the ceiling, matching the original game.
• Remastered the settings page and gave it a whole new look and feel.
• Added a new settings logo/icon on the main page.
• Added Dynamic Day/Night cycle mode
• Introduced new Weather Settings: Rain, Thunderstorm, and Snow.
• Optimized code for better performance; the game should now maintain a full 120fps on 120Hz devices and 60fps on 60Hz devices.
• Added Drunk Mode.
• Added Motion Blur Mode (not fully functional yet).
• Added a brand-new rendering engine for improved visibility and graphics.
• Added a Screen Shake setting (enabled automatically during Thunderstorms).
• Added Golden Pipes.
• Added more game physics customizations.
• Added Jetpack Mode (hold down for the bird to fly; release to let it fall... very hard to control, but fun!).
• Added Settings Profiles.
• And several more features not mentioned (Too much to write down xD)

Feel free to leave feedback! Remember, this is a beta, so expect issues or inconsistencies. Leaving feedback, bug reports, and more really help in the development. Here's hoping this becomes a great release!

V1.4-beta10

Initial GitHub pre-release of Flappy Bird v1.4 — a faithful recreation based on the original Android Flappy Bird v1.3.

This version aims to replicate the original game as closely as possible while ensuring compatibility with modern Android devices. Most of the original codebase has been ported and significantly updated to work seamlessly with current Android systems.

Key features:

• Major codebase refactoring and modernization for 64-bit and newer Android versions.
• Added a new Settings page allowing users to customize key physics parameters, enabling enhanced gameplay personalization.

This release marks a major milestone in preserving the classic Flappy Bird experience on today’s hardware. You may notice differences in how to game feels compared to the original, this is due to newer hardware and the newer java architecture.
