Flappy Bird will return to the App Store in August - six months after it was removed, its creator has said.
At one point, around one third of new apps uploaded to Apple's App Store were Flappy Bird clones.
The only funny thing here, at least for me, is the people who bought phones at triple the price because a game that was about as complicated as Pong was installed on it and no longer available on the App store.
Now there’s some karma.
If for some reason you missed the whole Flappy Birds thing, well good for you, but if you were curious it’s a game that uses a twist on the popular Angry Birds games for its name and pipes that look like they were taken right from Mario Brothers. You tap the screen and try to keep your bird afloat without hitting a pipe or falling to the ground. That’s it. 50 million downloads. I must be out of touch?
Here's some gameplay video - try not to get too excited.
