With each new version of Android comes a new "Easter egg" animation hidden away in the Settings app. In KitKat it was the dessert tray animation. In the Android L preview it was a reference to the obscure "webdriver torso" YouTube mystery. For the latest version of Lollipop (or at least as we see it in the latest October developer preview) Google's taken things a step further. There's a fully-featured clone of the Flappy Bird game hiding behind the Android version number under Settings > About phone.
Tap a bunch of times on the Android version numbers, then long-press one the giant lollipop that appears to launch into the game. We don't yet know if anything special happens if you progress past a certain point — we've only just managed two points so far. Either way, it's a worthy addition to Google's long line of Android easter eggs.

Android Lollipop contains Flappy Bird Easter egg!
I was disappointed to find this. I saw the lollipop so I started to rub my finger on the lollipop 3 times to see if it opened up like a Tootsie Pop or an Owl popped out, but no,..... Flappy Bird came on :(

WOW! You suck in playing Flappy bird!
I usually try to keep a(relatively) civil tongue in my head on here, but...
Fuck you Google!

Why?
Because it sucks, and I hate it. (Because it sucks.)

Wohoo! Proper easter eggs! Software needs more of this. Seriously.
Not Flappy Bird! Anything but that! :'(
You are very bad playing flappy droid!
Flappy Droid is way, way harder than the original flappy bird , in flappy bird I could score 170 points, in this game I could only score 4 points at max, I usually can't even pass 0 point , :D
Try it yourself if you have the Lollipop preview, or probably your friend's.
I have seem people complaining about it, they say its harder too. Cant wait for my Droid Ultra to get Loli update.
My high score is 13 :D
Flappy Droid.
DOPE!
I still see people listing their Flappy Bird phones on Clist for $2000+....makes the $650 for the N6 seem like a steal lol!
I play with my food
Do the they sell though?
Brb, buying moto Gs and installing the APK...

I saw a cheap samsung being sold for $3000 on ebay just there now. 6 watchers on it.
my problem with a 650 dollar 32 gig 32bit is one, will it be useless next year when 64 bit is required, and why not get the 64 gig for the extra $50
Alex, at least you scored two more points than me. Congrats!
The Easter egg's are always delightful and I"m glad to see that tradition continue in Lollipop.
Good Lord.
That is awesome!

Now Google is infected with flappy madness.

Almost everybody was infected once!
They should list this as a feature of lollipop.
