DEVELOPING A WELSH-THEMED MOBILE GAME TO MAKE DIGITAL SUPPORT MORE ENGAGING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Flappy Dragon is a Welsh-themed, Flappy Bird-style game developed by Cardiff App Developers (CAD) and integrated into the Barod app, which supports young people with information and guidance on drug and alcohol use. Inspired by feedback from an early focus group, the game offers an engaging distraction during cravings or moments when users need to redirect their attention. Players guide a dragon through Welsh-inspired landscapes, avoiding obstacles and collecting Welsh cakes as they progress through levels. The game combines simple arcade gameplay with a distinctive Welsh identity, complementing Barod’s wider support services.

Project: Flappy Dragon
Client: Angharad Williams
Services: Mobile App Game

PrimaryGoals

Develop an engaging, easy-to-access mobile game in response to feedback from young people who requested an interactive distraction tool within the Barod app.
Create simple, intuitive arcade gameplay that allows players to guide a flying dragon, avoid obstacles and collect rewards without complicated instructions or controls.
Incorporate Welsh identity into the game's visual design through recognisable landscapes, a dragon character and traditional Welsh cakes as collectable items.
Integrate the game into the existing Barod app as an additional activity that complements its drug and alcohol support resources without turning gameplay into an educational lesson.

EndResults

A Welsh-themed, Flappy Bird-style mobile game developed for the Barod app, providing young people with an accessible activity designed to help redirect their attention during cravings or other challenging moments.
An interactive arcade experience featuring a flying dragon, obstacle avoidance and collectable Welsh cakes, combining straightforward gameplay mechanics with an engaging visual identity.
A multi-level game featuring changing landscapes inspired by locations across Wales, with varied obstacles and progression that introduce new gameplay challenges.
