2. LaunchBoard

4. Flappy Dunk
Flappy Dunk obviously takes some inspiration from Flappy Bird, but it’s different. There are two things you have to do: get the ball through the hoops and avoid the ground. All you do is tap to jump. You can earn extra points by swishing shots. If you miss a hoop or touch the ground, you lose.
