Why Flappy Bert is the Best Game Ever

As you probably know, Flappy Bird got taken off the App Store (hooray!) by the creator, despite the fact that he was making $50,000 a day from ad revenue. Flappy Bird spin-offs had existed before, but a bunch have cropped up with the demise of everyone's favorite/least favorite game. Most of them are just blatant rip-offs, and in fact, so is Flappy Bert. Based on everyone's favorite grumpy character from Sesame Street, this is Flappy Bird, but with Bert. Here are three reasons why it's the best game ever (well, maybe not the best, but better than its inspiration):

1. It's actually easier than Flappy Bird. Although Bert is much larger than what players would expect, the widths between pipes are also larger. Frankly, I think an easier Flappy Bird is a good thing.

2. It's totally free. And there aren't any ads, either. And despite running in your browser (which I like, not owning a smartphone myself), it still keeps track of your high score, even when you close the tab.

3. Play the game with sound. Then you'll see.

Play the game here - it's not blocked by Barracuda.

You know you want to...
