Dollar Store Flappy Bird

# Dollar-Store-Flappy-Bird

This title marks my very first complete Unity game project based on a tutorial from "Game Maker's Toolkit" on YouTube with some additional features thrown in. For perspective, you know when you're in the car with your parents and you ask them "Can we play Flappy Bird?" and they reply "No, we have Flappy Bird at home."? Well this game is essentially "Flappy Bird at home"!

## Controls

- Flap Wings (ascend):

  - Keyboard: spacebar

  - Mouse: left click

## Features Added Since Tutorial Completion

- Scene: main game is now accessible via a title screen,

- Gameplay: game over if the bird goes offscreen,

- Bug Fix: score no longer increases after game over,

- Particle System:

  - scrolling clouds in the foreground which occlude objects in the middle-ground;
