Flappy Special brings to Game Boy the formula of the Flappy arcade game: guide a bird through mazes by pushing crates until the exit clears, with the one-screen-per-level logic typical of the genre. The saga had various variants on Japanese systems throughout the '80s and '90s, and this entry adapts it to the short-session pace of Nintendo's handheld. Today it's a curiosity for fans of Sokoban-style spatial logic puzzles. It never left Japan, so its place is that of one more piece, modest but honest, in the enormous puzzle catalog that accompanied Game Boy from its earliest years.
