In the late 19th century, the prairie was settled by Cree and Iroquois from around Jasper and Lac Ste. The post was established South of Dunvegan and 21 km (13 mi) north west of the present day city of Grande Prairie, south east of La Glace Lake, and west of what is now the Town of Sexsmith (the 1896 version of this building was moved and restored and now stands near the Grande Prairie Museum). In 1880, as a result of the fur trade war between the Hudson Bay Company (which merged with the North West Company in 1821), and independent fur traders, centering around Dunvegan, a Hudson's Bay Company outpost called La Grande Prairie was established by George Kennedy. The earliest recorded reference to the prairie was by Hudson Bay trader Samuel Black in 1824. In the 18th century, the prairie was occupied by bands of the Dane-zaa (Beaver) peoples, who began, in the early 19th century, trading with the North West Company at Dunvegan. Émile Grouard, a Roman Catholic Priest, was the first to refer to the area as La Grande Prairie. The Grande Prairie area was historically known as Buffalo Plains, after the buffalo who would traverse the large prairie which lies to the north, east, and west of it. The dinosaur has also emerged as an unofficial symbol of the city due to paleontology discoveries in the areas north and west of Grande Prairie. For that reason, Grande Prairie is sometimes nicknamed the "Swan City". The city adopted the trumpeter swan as an official symbol due to its proximity to the migration route and summer nesting grounds of this bird. Grande Prairie was the seventh-largest city in Alberta in 2016, with a population of 63,166, and was one of Canada's fastest growing cities between 20, and Canada's northernmost city with more than 50,000 people. The city is surrounded by the County of Grande Prairie No. It is located at the intersection of Highway 43 (part of the CANAMEX Corridor) and Highway 40 (the Bighorn Highway), approximately 456 km (283 mi) northwest of Edmonton. Plus we might add an iAP to remove the ads as that has been requested as well.Grande Prairie is a city in northwest Alberta, Canada within the southern portion of an area known as Peace River Country. Can you imagine 8 balls flapping at once to the hole? Sounds ridiculous so we might just do it. So far people really seem to be enjoying the game though so there is chance if enough people demand it, we might update it to include the classic multiplayer that everyone loves with SSG2. However we wanted everyone to just have fun and play the game so any type of star will work to open later courses. Being a game-jam game, we didn’t want to treat this like a big release or anything.Įach hole can be played separately instead of being “tour based” like the original game and you must collect stars to open up new courses. Star ratings are given to the amount of flaps it takes for you to get to the hole and that is pretty much it. We reused all the same courses but then took out all the characters, hats, power ups, levelling and just made it so you could “flap” your way to the hole instead of shooting for under par. In fact it is almost just another mode for the game. Initially we were not going to release it but after playing it and getting lots of positive feedback, we decided what the heck? Why not?įlappy Golf is just a simple stripped down version of Super Stickman Golf 2®. We are a bit late to the party on this one but figured we would release the game all the same.Īs mentioned in a previous post, Flappy Golf or Golfy Bird as it is known on Android, was a fun little one day project we did during the hay day of the FlappyJam. So our FlappyJam game FINALLY got through review and is now available.
