In brief:<\/p>\n
There's plenty of ways to earn cryptocurrency in this space; you can freelance for it, you can set up a node, you can even walk for cryptocurrency. But none of these are half as satisfying as earning crypto while maneuvering a pudgy, but altogether non-descript, yellow bird around some green pipes.<\/p>\n
Thats right folks. Flappy Bird, the obsession-worthy mobile game that stirred up a sensation in 2014, is back. To be clear, its not the official Flappy Bird, but it does have one leg up on the original: You can play it to win cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
\"Hello everyone! I'm ecstatic to announce a project that I've spent many, many sleepless nights on,\" reads the developer's post in the Nano subreddit. \"I present to you, FlappyNano!\"<\/p>\n
Per the developer, the game is a simple twist on the original. Rather than the aforementioned yellow plumper, the central character is replaced by a blue ghost-like creature.<\/p>\n
FlappyNano harnesses a multiplayer feature in which competitors ante up 0.1 nano. The player with the highest score wins the pot.<\/p>\n
To begin, one player sends an invitation via an in-app link. Once the challenge is accepted, a third party escrow address appears as a QR code for players to deposit funds. Once the pair have deposited, it's game on.<\/p>\n
At present, the game works on both desktop and mobile, but the developer suggests installing Natrium, a Nano-based wallet, for the best experience.<\/p>\n
This isnt the first crypto-version of Flappy Bird. But the last one wasnt so successful.<\/p>\n
An EOS iteration of the gamein which top-ranking players earn EOS-based tokenshas pretty much flatlined in terms of usage. According to data from DappRadar, the game hit a peak of 464 users a week after its release in 2019. Since then, there has been virtually no activity at all.<\/p>\n
But will FlappyNano fly?<\/p>\n
