A new Flappy Bird spinoff combines the astonishingly addictive iPhone game and the tile game 2408. After the original Flappy Bird app was pulled from Apple's App Store, several other knockoffs have appeared to sooth the resulting rage in the Flappy Bird community. But none sought to fill the void by combining it with another popularly difficult cell phone game.
Flappy Bird spinoff Flappy48 is even more challenging than the original. The game involves jumping over obstacles while also using the tiles to create the number 2408.
The game's creator Dan Moran is a computer science student at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He claims to have invented the Flappy Bird spinoff in just one day. While the game may have been easy to create, players will soon find it is considerably harder to play.
