The cult classic game Flappy Bird will apparently be back with a new Flappy Bird multiplayer mode. There’s something to be said about us as human beings because of our addiction to frustrating games like Flappy Bird. In case phone shattering frustration wasn’t enough to deal with in solitary confinement, we now get to do it with friends.
Flappy Bird stormed the world with the force of an Angry Birds or a Candy Crush Saga and disappeared just as quickly, leaving gamers with pent up frustration that they couldn’t just exert on their phones.
Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen came out of hiding (or Flappy Bird exile, if you’d prefer) to confirm that the game would come back, fully reloaded with the new multiplayer mode.
