The levels themselves are a mix between the levels featured in the PC-88 and NES versions.
The game itself is a puzzle game in which the player controls a mole who has to push a blue stone on an specially marked place.
The stone can only be pushed, but not pulled.
While Flappy does not care about gravity, the blue and red stones do: they fall down if pushed off an edge.
This has to be used to clear a path for the blue stone and to crush enemies which try to hurt Flappy.
Touching them or being crushed by a stone results in the loss of a life.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Flappy Special for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Flappy Special to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1990.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
