In a nutshell

  • Flappy Bird has been made available for mobile devices on the Epic Games Store for Android.
  • No crypto is used to support the cellular reboot of the game, which is funded by advertisements and in-app purchases.
  • The Telegram crypto game from last year has been discontinued, but a key airdrop is still planned.

Flappy Bird, a well-known mobile activity, was released this week for Android in the Epic Games Store, but the most recent update doesn’t include any crypto elements, despite plans to launch a sign for the now-defunct Telegram version.

The” Web-2 only” release also introduces a pursuit function and keeps its classic mode, which asks players to understand a pixelated parrot through a continuous industry of pipes. &nbsp,

The Epic Games Store’s Flappy Bird software is made up of only ads and in-app purchases, according to a declaration about the show’s launch.” The Wiggly Bird app will never have any Web3 elements.

Before being taken off the App Store by father Dong Nguyen, the popular game had more than 50 million files when it first came out in 2014. The designer claimed he felt bad about making such a addicting game and that he did not want to be subject to the scrutiny of the general public.

A new Flappy Bird Foundation, which had already registered the match, relaunched it as a Telegram bitcoin game in September. A Foundation spokesman at the time stated to Decrypt that Telegram’s system “perfectly aligned with our eyesight for bringing Flappy Bird into the Web3 place.”

However, the game’s launch and accompanying mining campaign for an eventual FLAP token on The Open Network ( TON ) received a lot of negative feedback, including from Nguyen, who took a seven-year posting hiatus from the Telegram project. &nbsp,

” No, I have no relationship with their match,” I reply. He stated,” I did not buy anything. Additionally, I don’t help crypto.

Additionally, despite the popularity of numerous tap-to-earn matches as mini-apps on Telegram’s messaging apps last month, Flappy Bird did not appear to have amassed the same number of players as titles like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat did. &nbsp,

The Telegram version of the game ended its miners period earlier this month, a time when players can play it to receive rewards in the long run. And while the Telegram bot’s profile also mentions a “future airdrop,” official information about a key release is nowhere to be found. &nbsp,

There is no gift at the moment, as well as no present Web3 activity, according to the standard X accounts for the Flappy Bird Foundation.

” At this time, there isn’t a formal Flappy Animal gift. Any sign that claims to be the standard Flappy Bird Token is a hoax and doesn’t have any affiliation with Flappy Bird, according to the accounts posted on Tuesday. Any Web3 match that claims to be the standard Flappy Bird Web3 activity is a scam.

The Foundation’s accounts used its newer, less closely followed Flappy Bird Publishing subsidiary’s accounts to proclaim its launch, but it didn’t clearly sway away potential Web3 announcements.

Rather, it rather stated to users that “any information or disclosures about Flappy Bird Web3 efforts will be shared from this consideration.”

Decrypt’s request for comment was not immediately responded to by a Flappy Bird Foundation member.
