Flappy Bird Mania may be so last year, but that shouldn’t stop you from wasting perfectly good time on it! If you own a phone running Android llipop, you don’t need to download anything—you already have a Flappy Bird clone tucked away on your device. Here’s how to get to it.

Unlock your device hop on over to the Settings app, then scroll all the way down tap About phone. Next, tap the Android version listing… keep tapping. Eventually, the Settings app will slide out of the way will be replaced by an onscreen lollipop (because it’s Android llipop. Get it?).

Tap hold the lollipop a few times, eventually, a Flappy Bird-like game appears

Now, tap the lollipop hold your finger down for a second or two, repeat this process a few times. Eventually, your phone will give you a little bit of haptic feedback, the lollipop will slide out of the way, you’ll get a fully playable game of Flappy…Android? 

Tap the screen to start a new game, then keep tapping to try navigate your Android through a series of lollipop-styled gates. Eventually, you’ll score a point or two. Maybe. Or you’ll continually crash before you clear the first gate. But you’ll keep playing because it’s frickin’ addictive. You’re welcome.
