Description

Flippy Bit And The Attack Of The Hexadecimals From Base 16 Hi We at Q42 have teamed up with Russian psychologist Kateryna Afinogenova to create this experiment to test her recent study in which a group of 420 kids were shown to have a natural talent for doing bitwise operations and conversions to hexadecimals. "Seven percent of the test group could bitshift" she said to Scientific World News in an exclusive interview, which caught our nerdy attention. Especially the following statement: "While adults have trouble with binary numbers, from around the age of two, children can not only calculate on a binary scale, but even translate from binary to hexadecimal - and back." We were able to contact her and collaborate remotely on this experimental game that allows kids to literally do that conversion. Afinogenova requested to omit a tutorial to further emphasize the adoption difficulty between adults and children. We were amazed by the results. You can be amazed too! Play the game and find out!

    What more is there to say? I love playing this game. It’s a great way to kill time or to just have fun.

    There are some micostutters which can be annoying and throw off your rhythm (iPhone 14 Pro MAX). It’s a great way to learn otherwise. Suggestion to maybe add a quick pop up or mini tutorial to remind folks how hex to binary works. I had to google to refresh my memory since I was barely getting 1 each try.
  • Great concept, but it hangs

    I would play this all day if it didn’t hang every couple of rounds. Please fix it!

  • If you don't understand it it isn't the games fault

    I love this game. It is addictive and fun, but some people don't understand it. That does not mean that it isn't good. So don't give it a bad review.
  • It's too nerdy for you

    Fun but unfinished. There's too much lag between getting the bit and launching the missile. There should be a free play mode. The buttons are a little slow to respond sometimes. I hope they make an update in the future. The object of the game is to make the 8-bit binary number that corresponds to the 2 digit hexadecimal number on the back of the bad guys.
  • Great game!

    This a unique and fun game. Like Pokémon Go, it was originally an April fool's joke, but it's not too hard to find out how to play it well. Earlier today, I had some free time and decided "I'm going to learn how to be good at Flippy bit!" I made a quizlet to learn the hexadecimal to binary conversion, and after half an hour, I got between 10 and 20 points every time. 😀😀😀
  • Pretty good

    I downloaded this app so I could learn hex better. It did the trick, but I found out how addictive flippy bit is. My annoyances are, not being able to flip two or more bits concurrently. I play it two handed, come on, let me type in both numbers at the same time. Second, the missiles take way too long to fire. The animation is annoyingly long and I keep watching myself get a game over even though I typed in the correct value.
