Have checked the site out every now and then but I finally made an account to ask a question.

My service provider for my phone is having it's 5th birthday and let's you play their version of flappy birds to get extra data and I was looking for ways to make sure I get as much as possible. by playing I've only managed to hit 18 GB (0.5 GB per obstacle you've gone through) and thought "There has to be a way to cheat this".

Does anyone have any ideas?

Couldn't post the link but it's a flappy bird reskin.
 
I found the javascript file for the game. And I seem to be able to change variables through the url field.
 
Found out they just check a cookie, so I edited the cookie and it now says my high schore is 40 GB. I then canged the pipe heights so the game is super easy and went to 42. Question is just if they can tell I cheated or will accept it
 
Holy crap, you guys are way smarter than me. Where do you come up with this stuff ?
 
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
   if(window.location.search == "?debug")
      debugmode = true;
   if(window.location.search == "?easy")
      pipeheight = 200;

   //get the highscore
   var savedscore = getCookie("highscore");
   if(savedscore != "")
      highscore = parseInt(savedscore);

   //start with the splash screen
   showSplash();
});

seems too easy to manipulate..

I can only assume that's some grade-A sarcasm. I didn't say that what I did was genuis or even smart or difficult. Just giving an update on the situation. Thanks for the kind comment. Good to see there are kind people out there.
 
It was a compliment. I just feel kind of naive sometimes when I see cool things I don't understand how to accomplish.

Cheers

Sorry, just too used to people being sarcastic dicks, I guess.
Having played around with web design etc before I know enough to sort of steer my in the right direction but I'm incredibly bad still. And haven't done much in years so knowledge fades.

I just viewed the source code
and found the following code on the page
Code:
$('#gotogame').on('click', function(){

  $.getScript( "js/game.js", function( data, textStatus, jqxhr ) {
       console.log( data ); // Data returned
       console.log( textStatus ); // Success
       console.log( jqxhr.status ); // 200
       console.log( "Load was performed." );
});

js/game.js
which tells me it's a javscript game and not flash or something that's server side, which was a big surprise. It makes it way too easy to manipulate..

so I just went to the site and added "js/game.js", found out what to change, namely pipeheight and just changed the variable to 250 so the gap between the 'pipes' are huge. Went to the site and typed in "javascript: pipeheight=250;" in the url field and enter.

I guess the questions are
a) will they let me keep the data earned through this or find out I cheated somehow?
b) how far can I go without them getting suspicious?
