Just installed the original flappy bird last week on my A54 and it's working great.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The original flappy bird doesn't exist in the playstores anymore since 2014. How could you install it?

[–] LionDynamic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

APK Mirror that's what I usually use for apps that are gone from the play store, like Stranger Things: 1984, and Kung Fury games.

The only time I "pirate"

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Probably found the apk somewhere online.

Ohh i remember. Didnt the dev decide that he wasnt gonna support their users becoming addicted or sth?

Iirc the 2nd place flappy bird world champion killed the 1st place flappy bird world champion because he was mad at him for being better.

This just isn't true; Android absolutely has version limits.

[–] Jako301@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

The Google play store has version limits. A sideloaded app will almost always work

Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won't let you if the dev hasn't updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.

most of the time? yes.

some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)

but it can and does still happen sometimes

Android and iOS are both abysmal.

Everybody used a blackberry once... Being loyal to a brand gets you left behind.
