Flappy Bird is not only enjoying the kind of popularity that angry Birds achieved in its first year as a mobile title, but it’s actually making a lot of people a terrific deal angrier than Rovio’s popular series ever did.

In essence, there’s something here for everybody, which has widened its appeal, although while tens of millions of gamers are completely hooked, not everybody is having such an satisfying time playing it.
The update for iphone includes some much-welcome aesthetic improvements, as well as slicker gameplay thanks to the improved frame rate. having tried it out for ourselves, there is a clearly obvious difference, although unfortunately, the game is still just as tedious as before. There’s also the normal spate of bug fixes, and some new birds have also been added to the roster, so it’s absolutely worth updating if you haven’t already.
