Flappy Bird Lookalikes Arrive On Windows Phone

Flappy Bird Lookalikes Arrive On Windows PhoneLike it or not, it seems that anything that is popular online these days is going to get cloned. I suppose you could call cloned apps or games a “meme” of sorts of the original, don’t you think so? That would certainly take away some of the negative connotations of a clone or copycat of an idea, since everyone loves memes. Having said that, Flappy Bird, a hugely successful app that took three days to code and is now pulling in approximately $50,000 a day in ad revenue for the developer, has arrived on Windows Phone in the form of a clone – alongside an entire flock of lookalike games such as Birdy Flap, Paddle Fish, FlappyFish, and Jolly Fish. Of course, this is also a Flappy Bird clone that made an appearance as mentioned earlier, which is well ahead of the original game’s version by about a week or so.

    Flappy Bird Clone Flaps Its Way Onto Windows Phone

    Flappy Bird Clone Flaps Its Way Onto Windows PhoneFlappy Bird is one of those games that no one really expected to take off the way it did, but somehow proved itself to be quite a major hit. Last we heard, the app, despite accused of using stolen graphics, was pulling in about $50,000 a day from ad revenue alone. It is apparently lucrative enough for a clone to be created for the Windows Phone platform where the game has yet to be launched. As you can see in the screenshots above, the clone of the game is literally a copy and paste job as the graphics and gameplay have been copied from the original game.

    Then again like we said, Flappy Bird has been accused of copying graphics from older games, so we’re not sure if the original developer really has the right to be mad about that. The app could eventually be taken down at the original developer’s request, but in the meantime for those interested in seeing if the clone is just as good as the original, you can get your hands on the game via the Windows Phone Store. For those who would rather play the original, you can rest assured that it will be making its way onto the Windows Phone platform in the next week or so. In the meantime has anyone figured out what the fuss is over that game?
