FX-Mechanics releases Flappy Chord - Free Musical Game VST Plugin for Windows and Linux

17th December 2025

FX-Mechanics has released Flappy Chord, a simple prototype of musical game that reimagines the classic "Flappy Bird" formula as a fun tool for learning music. The bird is controlled by playing notes and chords on a connected MIDI keyboard.

The game is primarily designed as a VST plugin to be used within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), but a standalone version is also available. The level progression in the game can be saved as a plugin preset.

Note that this project was initially started as a proof-of-concept for a generic 2D game engine built with the JUCE framework, and was primarily made for fun.

I must confess that I've never been able to beat all 12 levels of the game myself. If you manage to complete all of them, I would be thrilled to hear about it. Good luck.
