Why is this important? What makes this different from any other open source game clone?
4 comments

I suspect that a simple game like Flappy Bird will help us tremendously when teaching kids to make games in Scratch.

While this particular game might not be that important or different, I think the amount of game clones and interest in them is good.

One of the ways to perfect your skill is to mimic and clone something that you care about. Kind of like musicians play and make their own covers of their favorite music.

Hi dmbass, thanks for your comment. I found this project interesting on showing people with no knowledge of game programming that we can do a "complete" game in less than a day. If you have some feedback or improvements to show, feel free to made a pull request!
Somebody made a project they were proud of. Some other people liked it and upvoted it.

Your attitude is why the creator of Flappy Bird took the game down in the first place.

If you don't like a submission, flag and move on.

I don't think you're supposed to flag submissions you merely don't like.
The developer of Flappy Bird has removed it from the App Stores.
