On November ~~18th~~, 2021, however, a user on [[4chan]] (Armus) hacked ~~his~~ account and the game to Ronnie ~~mcnutt blowing off his face~~ when the player dies.

==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".
