Do you still want to fly birds on your smartphone even though Flappy Bird has crashed and burned, having been removed from all app stores<\/a> by its developer? Here are some of the best alternatives for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In only a few days, Flappy Bird\u00a0became a viral phenomenon, topped the Google Play and App Store charts, and drew huge\u00a0media attention. But as its fame soared, so too did the criticisms and the accusations of plagiarism<\/a>. The developer couldn\u2019t take the pressure and decided to remove Flappy Bird from all app stores<\/strong>. Just one day after the\u00a0announcement was made\u00a0on Twitter, the game was no longer available for download:<\/p>\n

I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore.<\/p>\n

Having been, or not been, a clone of other games such as ‘Piou-Piou vs. Cactus<\/a>‘, and then itself\u00a0being cloned by other developers, has to led to countless Flappy Clones. In this hands-on video below, Softonic Editor Nick goes through some of the alternatives. Below, you can find some other alternatives to Flappy Bird for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.<\/p>\n

Flappy Chicken not Flappy Bird<\/h3>\n

\"Flappy<\/p>\n

The developer of Flappy Chicken doesn’t\u00a0care if chickens can\u2019t fly. Although the game is very similar, there are of course some differences to\u00a0Flappy Bird:\u00a0the developer changed the character and the graphics \u2013instead of having an 8-bit bird, there’s a\u00a0cartoon chicken\u2013\u00a0but pipes are still the main\u00a0obstacle, and gameplay is quite challenging.<\/p>\n
