\t\"\"<\/p>\n

You can play Flappy Bird and speedrun wearing out your foldable phone\u2019s hinge at the same time.<\/p>\n

At this point, it\u2019s widely known and accepted that foldable devices are not as strong as slab-style phones. they\u2019re getting there, but physics makes it a bit difficult to achieve. That said, each device comes with a perceieved folding limit set by the manufacturer<\/a>, and one way to hit that is by playing one of the worst Flappy bird clones I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoldy Bird\u201d is a Chrome-based game compatible only with foldable devices, which all run Android for the time being. The game is simple \u2013 fold\/unfold your phone to jump. It\u2019s the same as tapping, except this will hurt your very soul.<\/p>\n

The jump action happens at the very end of an unfold motion, so you end up with a violent snap open each time your Foldy Bird approaches a pipe.<\/p>\n

The game was created by @rebane2001<\/a>, and whether this is a measure of their character or not, it\u2019s a creative remake of a classic. There is no app, so users willl need to visit lyra.horse\/fun\/foldy-bird\/<\/a> to play. Again, it only works with your foldable. That includes the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. We haven\u2019t tested the game on phones like the Motorola Razr, but it does work on larger devices.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t end up breaking your phone from a low-stakes rage quit, playing this game enough will surely do that for you.<\/p>\n
