Flappy Bird Returns: Now on Epic Games Store for Mobile

In the annals of mobile gaming, few releases have been as popular or as controversial as Flappy Bird. An instant sensation upon its release in 2013, it was hailed as one of the most addictive games of all time. Therefore, it's no surprise that its highly anticipated return to mobile devices, now available through the Epic Games Store, has generated significant buzz.

Flappy Bird for Android introduces a variety of new content to differentiate it from the original release. While players can still challenge themselves to beat their high scores in the classic, endless Classic Mode, they can also explore new worlds and levels in the newly added Quest Mode. Regular updates and new additions are promised, ensuring a fresh experience for returning and new players alike.

This new version of Flappy Bird is designed to steer clear of the controversial Web3 elements that marred another rerelease, opting instead for monetization through ads and in-app purchases for helmets, which grant extra lives.

FlappingNowadays, more than a decade after its initial release, Flappy Bird might seem quaint compared to today's mobile gaming hits. It's hard to fathom that this game once sparked rumors of murder over broken high scores. Yet, many players hold a nostalgic appreciation for its simplicity and straightforward gameplay. This could be a significant coup for the Epic Games Store on mobile platforms. While the allure of weekly free games might not be enough to attract new players, Flappy Bird could be the draw that truly puts Epic Games on the map for mobile audiences.

While Flappy Bird is certainly a noteworthy release, there are many other games that deserve attention. For those interested in exploring top releases not found on typical storefronts, be sure to check out our regular feature, Off the AppStore.
