Foldy Bird: Foldable lovers - and haters - can finally flap their foldable to set high scores in Flappy Bird

It is no secret that foldables, despite of all the progress made in the last 8 or so years, are still nowhere near as durable as traditional slab smartphones. This is to be expected, considering that moving parts always add complexity, which in turn leads to more points of failure. 

For instance, Samsung claims that its latest and greatest foldable, the Z Fold 7, is rated for up to 500,000 folds over its lifetime. In other words, if someone were to fold their Z Fold 7 (currently $2,120 on Amazon) a whopping 100 times a day, it would still likely take around 13.6 years to break the device. Of course, outliers inevitably exist, with plenty of foldables kicking the bucket way sooner.

Flappy Bird with a literal twist

That said, for those who would really like to push their foldable to the absolute limit for whatever reason, will be pleased to note that they can now speedrun Flappy Bird on their foldable. While that may seem fairly innocuous at first glance, there lies a twist - this version of Flappy Bird shared by X user Rebane, aptly named Foldy Bird, requires the user to unfold their device instead of simply tapping the screen, mimicking a real bird, of sorts.

Once the screen is snapped open, the game, which runs inside Chrome, emulates a tap and the bird jumps higher. The rest of the game remains unchanged, with the ultimate goal being to avoid as many obstacles as possible while fighting for life against gravity - and in this particular case - the foldable's hinge as well.

Needless to say, this is very much a hobby endeavor meant to be a practical joke, and our readers are most definitely advised to practice care and caution while using their foldable.
