From initial idea to launch—this page walks through how Flappyhip came together. Every step was driven by one goal: a modern, free, transparent social gaming site for adults in New Zealand.
We talked to adult players around New Zealand to find out what they wanted. The answer was consistent: simple game loops, no pressure to pay, and a more distinctive look than the usual generic sites.
We laid out a lean setup using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Three game types made the cut: slot-style reels, a spin wheel, and a 21-style card game. We also locked in the 18+ rule and clear entertainment disclaimers.
We shaped a visual style inspired by New Zealand—deep blues, greens, and warm highlights. A checker-style layout helped users scan content quickly while keeping the site recognisable. We made sure it worked well on desktop and mobile.
Game logic went straight into JavaScript—no canvas. Testing centred on pacing, clarity, and readable rounds. We tuned virtual coin flow so players could keep playing without ever touching payment or account info.
Privacy, Terms, and Cookie policies were drafted in plain language. We adopted minimal-data principles, added cookie controls, and set up support paths for user queries.
To boost replay value without money, we rolled out badges and progress tracking based on participation. Progress is saved locally so you can pick up where you left off.
We ran final checks on performance, accessibility, age gate behaviour, and legal consistency. Launch included full policy pages, FAQ, and contact support.
We keep improving the interface, fixing bugs, and exploring new progression ideas—always non-financial. The focus stays on fast loading, reliable controls, and a friendly competitive vibe.
From day one to launch, we never budged on: no payments, no bank details, no prizes, and 18+ only. That scope keeps Flappyhip focused on what it’s for—recreational social play.
You must be 18 or older to continue.
