Oh, Flappy bird. It's been a long time since I last thought about the game-turned-cultural phenomenon that briefly had us all in a chokehold a decade ago. At least, that was the case until this morning, when I ran into a reddit publication announcing a flappy bird tribute for Playdate and without a moment's hesitation, I downloaded it to my device. Now here I am, absolutely hooked on this maddening little game once again. And using the crank to control that silly-looking bird is even harder this time. FlappyBird by Chibisuke is free and available to download for Playdate on itch.io. You're welcome… or I'm sorry.

FlappyBird It's like the OG game, but in grayscale. You can play using the up button on the D-pad, the 'A' button or the crank to guide the bird between the pipes, but I've opted for the latter for the extra challenge it adds.
