Ducktales RemastereddirectorAustin Ivansmithhas released a free game oniOSandGoogle PlaycalledFlippy Bard. LikeMaverick BirdandFlappybalt, it takes the core concept of the underdog hitFlappy Birdand builds on it just enough to make it awesome. The multi-bard mode alone makes the game worth checking out.

That said, Austin’s lucky that he’s not getting his ass sued to high heaven right now for copyright infringement. The developer ofthe originalFlippy Bardand the otherFlippy Bardmust be quite generous. It’s nice to live in a world that has room for endless Flippy Bards.
