When Flappy Bird hit the scene, developer madgarden realized that it was sorely lacking in lurking horrors. The remedy for that was FlapThulhu, featuring the most adorable little 8-bit Old One that you’ve ever seen.

Flap through the horrible gates of R’lyeh and unleash the Madness to open a portal to the eldritch dimension… or will the madness take you?

It’s available for name-your-own-price download at Itch (currently only for Windows, but Mac and Linux are in the works). It’s also just been made available in the Apple Store.

The same developer has a couple of other interesting games, including Eggnog, described as a “local multiplayer stabbing game,” which may be one of my favorite game descriptions of all time; and Saucelifter, in which you pilot a UFO in hopes of saving your stranded crewmates from the aggressive Earth military.

FlapThulhu. Sooo cute.
