Beware of malicious Flappy Bird clones

Did you miss out on the Flappy Bird craze? The frustrating yet simple game became an overnight sensation but its creator, Dong Nguyen, pulled it from the Google Play store recently and it’s no longer available. 

If you were late to the party, there are plenty of “clones” of Flappy Bird on the store that you can try out.
