This project is an open-source, 64-bit Android Java recreation of the original Flappy Bird game, designed to run seamlessly on modern Android devices. It strives to be a pixel-perfect and behaviorally accurate replica of the beloved and notoriously challenging game, offering an authentic experience for both nostalgic fans and new players alike.
The motivation behind this project is a deep appreciation for the original game and a desire to preserve it for future generations. This is a non-commercial, educational, and entertainment-driven initiative. Please don't steal the code, if you want to help, contribute to this project. Contributions will help keep this project alive! I strive (and hopefully with help from other people) to make this the absolute best Flappy Bird game for Android, keeping the original feel intact, while also incorporating enhancements.
Note: This recreation was based off of V1.3 of the original Flappy Bird.
This app is completely safe and contains no malicious code whatsoever. The entire source code is available for inspection, ensuring full transparency. Although VirusTotal or similar scanners may occasionally flag indie projects with false positives, the most recent scan of this APK showed zero detections across all engines. Rest assured—this build is clean and secure. We encourage anyone with doubts to review the codebase or run their own scans to verify. If there happens to be a virus/malicious content, I didn't put it in there lol.
