In case you haven’t heard of Flappy Bird, it’s a game that has recently taken the App Store and Google Play by storm — and is currently still first in the top charts.

And now, the game is coming to Windows Phone, likely landing some time this month (hat/tip WMPowerUser).

@Kieranb8561 I could estimate 10 days from now. It has to be approved by Microsoft.

Flappy Bird is a game built by Vietnamese indie developer Dong Nguyen. The game, which looks oh-so-retro with its pixellated look, is deceptively simple — all you need to do is tap on the bird to flap your wings, avoid the pipes and try to get four different medals. However, reviews have said it’s tough to score.
