It’s hands-down the coolest Easter Egg we’ve seen in an Android release: a Flappy Bird-like mini-game found buried inside Android 5.0 Lollipop. We showed it to you guys back in our Android 5.0 hands-on and loved the Lollipop theme throughout. Because not everyone can actually get their hands on Lollipop at the moment (not even most Nexus devices), one developer took it upon himself to pluck out the mini-grame and throw it on the Google Play Store where it can be enjoyed by all.
The game, aptly titled “Lollipop Land” features the same frustrating gameplay of the Easter Egg (or, Flappy Bird, rather), only it brings a few extra game features to the mix as well. First, there are now difficulty settings to choose from (hard, normal, easy, kid) so people of all ages can adjust the frustration to their liking. There’s 21 levels in all, with different characters chosen at random (like the Android 3.0 Honeycomb bee)
The developer has also integrated Google Play Services so players can log in with their Google+ account and compete with friends via leaderboards. The best part? There are no adds, permissions, or in-app purchases — just a fun, free casual game to be enjoyed by anyone with an Android device. Download link provided below.
And the Goog will pull it in 3… 2… 1…
When will we ever stop comparing everything to Flappy Bird
