Flappy Bird is a gambling legend and among the very most popular cellular games ever made. But what if it were like Fortnite?

That's the notion behind Flappy Royale, a brand new game from developers Orta Therox and Em Lazer-Walker (with donations from Zach Gage). It mashes together the unlimited flapping gameplay of Flappy Bird using the last-bird-standing kind of the battle royale genre that's all of the rage these days.

Gameplay is simple, just like it had been in the first game: tap your own bird to flap and dodge your way through some suspiciously Mario-esque pipes. Except that the goal isn't to endure as long as possible; it is to survive longer than the other 99 players, most of whom it is possible to see flapping along with you in real time. And because it's a battle royale sport, everyone starts out together on a bus, naturally.

It's a similar style as the newly published read more (and much more recently DCMA'd by Nintendo) Mario Royale, which provided similar"how long can you survive" gameplay, albeit using classic Mario stages rather than random Flappy Bird pipes.

In a twist from the regular Flappy formula, there are customization choices for creating your bird stand out from the flock (another item that is made from Fortnite), along with some"Daily Trial" mode that provides a preset course that players may try up to ten times for a place on a worldwide leaderboard.

Right now, Flappy Royale is available on iOS and Android within an open beta, with a full launch planned for July 2019
