Rock band Fall Out Boy has released a clone version of the mobile phenomenon Flappy Bird cleverly titled 'Fall Out Bird.' The band broke the news on their official site. The game will be available for both iOS and Android as soon as it is approved. This should make anyone who was playing endless hours of Flappy Bird extremely happy.
Dong Nguyen is the creator of the widely popular Flappy Bird game. He announced recently that he has plans to pull the game from distribution. Flappy Bird doesn't seem like it will be coming back anytime soon but I'm sure there will be plenty of knockoffs to choose from. In the meantime, it shouldn't take too much time before we see Fall Out Bird taking over our evenings, weekends and all of our free time.
