The recent success and removal of the Flappy Bird app has inspired tons of unusual spinoffs, including this one developed by Christopher Hall, which turns Flappy Bird into a first person video game.
Instead of experiencing the game in a flat, left-to-right scrolling motion, Hall's version of the game puts players in the position of the bird. This is even more challenging, since the spaces between the pipes seems even smaller.
The 'First Person Flappy Bird' is available for download and thank goodness it's totally virtual, otherwise you might find yourself feeling pretty beaten and bruised from the entire experience. This perspective makes you wonder why Flappy Bird ever chose such a difficult course, since there's plenty of clear blue open skies visible beyond the pipes.
