Epic Games Releases Flappy Bird Clone

Made in Unreal Engine 4.

Epic Games, the developer responsible for the Gears of War and Unreal Tournament series, has released a Flappy Bird clone to show off the Unreal Engine 4.

Tappy Chicken is available right now on the iOS App Store and Google Play, and was made by a single employee with no programming skills in a bid to show how flexible and easy to use the new engine is.

"Tappy Chicken is the perfect showcase for the ease of use and flexibility of Unreal Engine 4," the developer explained. "While it may not flex the full graphical muscle of the engine, it shows how almost anyone can make a fun and pretty game fit for mobile devices and web browsers."

A browser-based version is apparently on the way for those of you not app-inclined, while recent rumours also suggest the original game that inspired it all is set to return in August with multiplayer.
