FlappyFins game on Kindle Fire: Cannot enter in your name

4/24/2014

FlappyFins game (version 1.0) on the Kindle Fire

Description:

I’ve tried a lot of Flappy Bird clones.  Most of them aren’t that good.

This one I downloaded today is actually kind of ok.

It’s called FlappyFins.  The premise is a little different.  Instead of spastically hopping your bird up and down, you kind of help your bird as it is being pushed through the air.

I’ve found a few bugs, however.  There was one that I found egregious enough to write down.

After you complete a game, you are given an input box where you can supposedly enter in your name for a leaderboard.

But, the problem is, it doesn’t work on the Kindle Fire.  When you click on the input box that appears under “Congrats!  Enter your name,” the input box disappears as the Kindle Fire keyboard UI rises on screen.

I paid more attention to this than to the fact that the game screamed “You Loose!!!” at me.  Who are you calling loose, FlappyFins?

Steps to Reproduce:

1.     Download FlappyFins on a Kindle Fire

2.     Start a game, then die

3.     Click inside the input box that appears under “Congrats!  Enter your name”

4.     Note that input box disappears as Kindle Fire keyboard UI appears

Result:  There doesn’t appear to be a way to enter in your name after finishing a game of FlappyFins on the Kindle Fire

Expected:  You should be able to enter your name after finishing a game of FlappyFins on the Kindle Fire

Repro Rate: 5/5

On a Kindle Fire, click inside of the input box under "Congrats!  Enter your name"

Input box disappears.

Typing does nothing.
