On November ~~18th~~, 2021, however, a user on [[4chan]] (Armus) hacked ~~his~~ account and the game to ~~show~~ [[Ronnie ~~Mcnutt Suicide Video~~|Ronnie McNutt's ~~suicide video~~]] when the player dies. A Scratch reupload of it was played by SleepyWaterCow, further boosting the popularity of the game<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=KwgUV-c-kZk</ref>.

==Gameplay==

The game plays just like the original iOS and Android versions of Flappy Bird. However, there are now two game modes; normal and impossible. Impossible mode changes the color palette and makes the game faster. Losing the game, however, shows a looping GIF of Ronnie McNutt ~~killing himself~~, and plays the song "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8sUC-dsW8A&t=26s Ruler of Everything]" by [[wikipedia:Tally Hall|Tally Hall]], beginning with the lyrics "So he shot at the sun with a gun".

==4chan's Hack==

[[File:4chanflappybird.png|thumb|OP's post (with the image censored) and an anonymous user calling OP a legend.]]

On November ~~18th~~, 2021, an anonymous user on 4chan's /b/ announced that they hacked into a large Scratch account that hosted a popular version of Flappy Bird.<ref>thebarchive.com/b/thread/866946078 <font color=red>contains shocking content!</font></ref> This user specifically attempted to try and get this onto the news by emailing this to multiple news stations with the claim that this game always had shocking content in it. OP called this ~~Operation~~ McNutt.

Armus also added ~~with~~ a ~~discord~~ tag "Armus#1111 if you have any technical issues" to the bottom of the page, possibly to get people's reactions.

Later that night, however, Scratch removed the game due to the ~~gore.~~
