Barty

Barty was one of those simple, single-screen games you'd find in the Flash era. It didn't have a story or complex menus. You just loaded it up and started playing, which was typical for that time. The game had a straightforward look with clean graphics, and it ran right in your browser.

You control a bird, Barty, who flies across the top of the screen. The goal is to drop bones onto the stone platforms below to shatter them. You tap the up arrow to flap and gain a little height, then press the spacebar to release a bone from your talons. Timing is everything. If the bone lands on stone, it breaks and you score points. If it misses and hits the grass, you lose points. The game moves at a steady pace, but the precision needed makes it challenging. It feels like a test of careful aim and controlled descent.
