Flappy Bird returns … but only to Amazon’s Fire TV

I believe it was R&B superstar Aaliyah who said, “If at first you don’t succeed, press retry and flap again.” Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has followed that advice.

Nguyen has brought his aeronautically challenged avian back months after removing the game from the iOS and Google Play app markets. Flappy Bird Family is a sequel to the original that once again challenges players to guide the clumsy bird to dodge green pipes as well as ghosts. But wait! Don’t go and boot up your iPhone or Android device and start looking for Nguyen’s latest creation because it is only available on the Amazon Fire TV platform. You can’t get it in the App Store or Google Play. Hell, you can’t even get it for the Amazon Fire Phone or Kindle Fire.
