Although there were a lot of people who were disappointed with the disappearance of the Flappy Bird app, there's good news—the ultra addictive app is back in the form of Flappy Bird Family. Unfortunately the bad news is that as of now, the app is only available for Amazon Fire TV.
With Flappy Bird Family, players can take advantage of a Person versus Person mode and Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen promises more obstacles and more fun. Although Flappy Bird was frustrating, at least with this new version of the game, it's possible to take your friends and family members with you on the journey. Just like many other multiplayer video games, this new version of the game features all the fun of Flappy Bird with a split screen for multiple players.
