Remember Flappy Bird? Yeah? FROM YOUR NIGHTMARES? Or maybe from your dreams if you were one of those stupid people who were somehow really good at the game. You know who you are.  Or maybe you just remember if from the huge media attention it got, especially when the creator, Dong Nguyen pulled it from the app store.

 

Before being pulled, Flappy Bird was extremely successful, generating upwards of $50,000 per day. It was taken off teh App store because of the media storm it attracted, and because it was being criticized for being too addictive.

 

Not long after that, Mr Nguyen indicated that he would be bringing Flappy Bird back in August of this year ( how is it August already!?) however it hasn’t appeared yet. What will be appearing, on Thursday the 21st of august, is a new game from Mr Nguyen called Swing Copters.

 

It is unclear as of yet as to whether Flappy bird will also be appearing in the App store soon, or if this is the new version of Flappy Bird as it seems to feature very similar gameplay, and  is apparently just as tough as it’s predecessor. Uh… excellent? There goes all our free time! Whatever. Like we weren’t using it on the internet anyway.

 

Head on over to the guys at TouchArcade to see a preview of Swing Copters to know just how addicted you think you’ll become Thursday night! The game will be free from the app store with a $0.99 option to remove ads.
