VCU Alum Creates Hipsta Bird

Sarah Pentecost
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

 

Flappy Bird had it’s 15 minutes of fame, and if you’re one of the lucky ones who didn’t delete it out of annoyance or spite — congratulations. For those of you not so lucky, there’s an alternative that you might find just as entertaining. I introduce to you — Hipsta Bird.

A VCU alum and one of our very own former Campus Celebrities David Janney created Hipsta Bird based on a code found at Hyspace. The concept is the same as Flappy Bird — tap the screen to keep Hipsta Bird alive and flying. Except in this game, you’re dodging razors. The goal? Keeping Hipsta Bird‘s beard intact! Play on, collegiettes!
