FLAPPY·TUX
KERNEL PANIC
A roguelite survival game for iOS and Android. The data center is crashing and Tux is the last process standing. Drag to steer, dodge rogue processes, and install upgrades with apt — fully offline, no account.
$ features
One finger to steer. No two runs alike.
Drag to steer
Drag anywhere and Tux follows, offset so your finger never covers him. No gravity, no corridors: threats come from every direction. Prefer tapping? Flap mode is one toggle away.
A rogue's gallery of processes
Segfaults, fork bombs that split in two, zombie processes that hunt you, a memory leak that raises the floor, packet storms and wave-riding daemons.
$ sudo apt install
Clear a stage and pick one of three random packages: firewall, sudo, cron, magnet, overclock, swap. Upgrades stack for the whole run, so every build is different.
Packets & unlocks
Catch glowing 0x packets for points, then keep them. Spend them on preinstalled packages and new colors for Tux.
Daily Run
One seeded run per day, identical for everyone. Unlocked perks are disabled, so it's pure skill. Beat your best daily score.
Fully offline
No account, no internet, no ads, no tracking. Your scores and unlocks live on your device and nowhere else.
$ ls stages/
Seven distros. Then the Multiverse.
Every stage is named for a Linux distro and adds a new threat to the mix — until the endless Multiverse, where everything ramps forever.
$ coming-soon
Coming soon to the App Store & Google Play
