Flappy Bird In Space: 5 Reasons To Start Playing Dodgy: Zero

Few games have garnered as much mainstream media attention as Flappy Bird, and for good reason; its design is comically simple yet unforgivingly difficult. In the wake of Flappy’s demise, there have been countless clones and imitations looking to capitalize on the app’s wild popularity, and some have succeeded. Despite the madness, I never got all that hooked on Flappy Bird. I never played it obsessively. And I never scored above a meager 32 pipes.

It’s Perfect For Hipsters

Dodgy Hipster

Hey. Flappy Bird is so last year. You know what’s cooler than playing last year’s game? Playing the game from two years ago. That’s what the people with real taste are doing.

Not only that, but there aren’t very many people who know about Dodgy: Zero, which makes it an even better hipster goldmine. My top score is just pretty average, yet I’m placed within the top 100 scores. Eighty-something, I think it is. If you put in a reasonable amount of effort, you could be one of the world’s top players at one of the more obscure Flapp-a-likes out there. That’s something to have engraved on your tombstone, friend.

Also, did I mention it came out two years ago? As in, it came out before Flappy Bird. Back in 2012. Aside from the fact that Zero could easily defeat Dong’s feathered, face-planting creature in a boxing match (not to mention a sing-off), Dodgy: Zero is something you can show your friends that they will think is cool. Just don’t show too many people, because, you know, that would ruin it.
