The definition of Flappy Bird clone is a game that involves you guiding a character through an obstacle course of pipes or other objects.

Names given to the clones include obvious ones such as Trappy Bird, Flappy Fish 2D and Flappy You: Fly Your Face Free.

The original Flappy Bird game was a massive success, claiming the number one spot in the App Store for a while before its creator took it down permanently.
