'''Flappy''' is a puzzle game, in the same vein as [[Eggerland|The Adventures of Lolo]] and [[Sokoban|Sokoban (Box boy)]], that is little known outside of Japan.  It features some manner of creature, possibly a yellow mole, named Flappy who must ultimately push a blue stone from it's starting place to the blue platform destination.  What makes this such a difficult task, is the presence of gravity, gaps in the floors, and wandering enemies that would like to eat Flappy.  Flappy can pick up and throw sleeping mushrooms at the enemies to knock them out for a while, or drop stones on them to crush them permanently.

Flappy first appeared on the Sharp X1 home computer.  This debut was soon followed by with conversions to a number of popular Japanese computers in the early 80s, including the NEC's line of PCs, and the Fujitsu FM series.  As a puzzle game, it was well suited to these early systems, since it didn't require a tremendous amount of graphical sophistication.  As the MSX computer, and the Nintendo [[NES|Famicom]] grew in popularity, conversion of Flappy were released on those platforms as well.  The developer dB-Soft produced a sequel with more difficult puzzles called King Flappy for the benefit of anyone who managed to clear the original 200 levels.  Over time, Flappy has continued to see many graphically improved upgrades, such as on the Windows platform and on several mobile phone devices.
