Evidence appearing to reflect development work on the new Flappy Bird reveals a pronounced focus on Web3 and crypto.
The app was preparing support for numerous crypto wallets, and a leaderboard database references many crypto influencers.
It’s as of yet unclear to what extent this focus may take in the final, released game.
What looks like a bird, and flaps like a bird, but maybe isn’t the same innocent time-killer you fondly remember from a decade ago? Earlier this week, mobile gaming got some surprise news when we learned Flappy Bird was coming back to smartphones. And while the project announced we’d be getting “the official Flappy Bird,” it hasn’t taken long for some voices of concern to start questioning exactly who’s behind this effort and what their intentions are.
First off, you need to know that this new incarnation isn’t coming from the original developer, Dong Nguyen. Instead, these developers acquired the Flappy Bird trademark, and have been working on their own game based on his original. So, while this is “official” in a legal sense, it’s probably also far from what a lot of gamers were expecting.
