You play the game in a web browser, using your mouse click makes Flappy flap; dodging pipes and avoiding death is your main goal.<\/p>\n<p>During the game you see other player&#8217;s ghost data flapping next to you; this shows you how they have flapped compared to you. This is a free game and can even be played on your tablet or smartphone.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.seriouscorp.clumsybird&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Clumsy Bird<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Platform: Android<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you get when you combine Flappy Bird and Angry Birds? The definition of cheap clone. The description even screams Angry Birds: &#8220;Your eggs have been stolen and it&#8217;s your mission to get them back&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.BlackHorizonStudios.FlappyTappy\" target=\"_blank\">Flappy Tappy<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Platform: Android<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If Flappy Bird proved too difficult for you, then Flappy Tappy will be your stress saviour. This game has less challenging physics as your bird doesn&#8217;t fall so quickly, and you get points for every second you live, so you won&#8217;t feel so bad when you score die right in the beginning because you will have at least 3 seconds on the clock.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/fly-birdie-bird-flyer\/id806307963?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Fly Birdie<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Platform: IOS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the most hideous knock-offs around &#8211; it is just terrible to look at, but it&#8217;s a Flappy Bird nonetheless. You tap the screen and the bird flies through wooden looking pipe things &#8211; seriously I don&#8217;t know what those are &#8211; touch them and you die, enough said.<\/p>\n<p>Fly Birdie has two difficulty levels &#8211; Easy and Hard &#8211; and the developers have promised that there is so much more coming. What else can you add to a game like Flappy Bird? I have no idea&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=air.pioupiou&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">PIOU PIOU<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Platform: Android<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Piou Piou was the original Flappy Bird clone, according to the rumours, and it&#8217;s not a bad game at all. It looks okay and is just as difficult.<\/p>\n<p>You control a yellow bird passing through Cacti and your goal is to fly as far as possible &#8211; pretty simple.<\/p>\n<p>Know of any other good Flappy Bird clones?
