Fall Out Boy Releasing Flappy Bird Clone

American rock band Fall Out Boy are releasing a clone of mobile phenomenon Flappy Bird.

The news comes from the band's official site, which reveals that "Fall Out Bird" will be available for both iOS and Android as soon as it passes approval.

"Rome wasn’t built in a day, but this game was," a post explains. "In the spirit of Fall Out Boy Trail, we bring you Fall Out Bird. Coming this week to Google Play and The App Store (as soon it’s approved). Shoutout to the OG Flappy Bird, RIP."

Despite claims he was raking in $50,000 a day from the popular app, Vietnamese creator Dong Nguyen announced last weekend that he planned to pull the game from distribution. It wasn't until yesterday that he broke his silence, explaining why he decided to remove it.

So, while Flappy Bird isn't likely to come back any time soon, it looks like there'll be no shortage of replacements for you to play. If this one has the band's music as the soundtrack, I'm sold.
