Recently we saw Flappy Bird forcibly inserted into a running copy of Super Mario World. Its ambitions clearly don’t stop there, however.
Kotaku reports that the former smartphone hit has now for the first time been ported to an unfamiliar handheld – an e-cigarette.
The eVic-VTC Mini ecig, from manufacturer Joyetech, is unlike other vaping devices in that its electronics can be flashed with new firmware. So of course user Balzs Bank took the opportunity to upload a copy of the game, which by all accounts seems to work pretty well.
It looks like a reasonably faithful recreation, albeit in only black and white. There’s even a score counter in the corner. Those who wish to go back to using their unit for vaping, however, will need to flash back the original firmware between game sessions.
Bank’s aspirations don’t end with Flappy Bird. He’s already at work on an ecig version of Snake.
Take a look at the video:
