Burst out laughing after I lost.
It's just so much of an original rip-off Flappy Bird.  :D

Will there be competitive high scores soon? :(

Maybe. I gave up at 00:01:11.

I think Juju plans to add highscores in the future. Right now, I don't know how they are stored, though. Everytime I load a game page, the previous score is still intact, so I assume it's cookie-based right now?

Yes. Either LocalStorage or IndexedDB, to be precise, so high scores never leave your computer, but I do plan to install a way to upload them to a database.

I see. Interesting. But yeah, a db upload (as long as it's secure against SQL injection and highscore hacking) would be nice.

We should add scoreboards to the arcade. That'd be cool.

Yeah, we could either have a page with them or maybe above/below the games list.

Or individually, within the actual game?

Probably not inside the game, unless having external highscores is impossible without security problems.

Yeah, the hard thing is how to prevent fake scores. At least I can definitely disable guests.

Would guests still be able to play without submitting highscores?

Also do you think OMS could have a frame rate setting so users can switch between 30 and 60?

Yes.

Or better yet, make the score dependent on time and/or current framerate.

Well, it would suck if people who have a lower frame rate got lower game scores. :/ Kinda unfair, don't you think?

Not really. Lower framerate does mean lower scores, but since it's slower and easier people might be able to survive longer, so they might achieve pretty much the same score. Source: I played with lower framerate once.

I'd still suggest to give a fixed rate of points no matter what the framerate is, which would probably be rather simple to do.

Okay. My school computers on Windows 7 seem to run the game faster than my Windows 10 computer that I'm on right now.

Also, I managed to become bored enough to play this until my score was 00:02:26. :P

Yeah true, but I mean I'm not a big fan of making game difficulty entirely dependent on your PC performance, regardless of if it's at your advantage or disadvantage. This makes the game look rigged if that's the case, IMHO.

On a side note, something I noticed with this game is that the bird will always move at the same speed regardless of how fast you rub its belly. It would be funny if it moved faster if you moved your fingers faster. :P

I noticed that too.
I was playing this at school, and the guy next to me was saying, "Rub faster!" and I was just like, "It makes no difference." <_<

Yeah I would probably have been tempted to say the same thing if I didn't try the game first. Also it makes it a bit hard to figure out if we're rubbing fast enough. But I guess the game is still fun lol.

It's semi-enjoyable...unless you're bored enough to sit around rubbing a bird.  :P
