Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop has a 'flappy bird' easter egg hidden inside it

Android 5.0 aka Lollipop is here, and is being finally rolled out to users of Nexus devices. As we reported yesterday, the Nexus 4 has begun receiving the update, and the Moto G and Moto X devices are next in line. Apart from the look and feel of Lollipop, which are so radical that it feels like you have a new phone, Google has really outdone itself with its traditional ’easter egg’. For the uninitiated, the Android easter egg has been a regular feature with every update of the OS. How it works, is that you go to settings > about phone and keep tapping on the text that says ‘Android version’. In Lollipop, this takes you back to your home screen with a giant picture of a lollipop. Tap on the lollipop and the colour of the candy keeps changing. But hold down the picture of the lollipop and you get taken to another screen, which is a game. Google’s take of the most annoying yet addictive game ever to hit the Play store. Yes folks, we ARE talking about Flappy Bird. In the Android version, you have to control Andy the Android (who is a great deal cuter than the bird in the hit mobile game with his huge flappy beak). And instead of Mario style pipes, you must navigate him through giant sticky lollipops. But take it from us. It is ridiculously difficult. Despite many attempts, we have been unable to get a single point - it’s even tougher than Flappy Bird. Here are the other Android easter eggs: 1. Android Gingerbread - the Zombie Gingerbread man

2. Android Honeycomb - the blue bee

3. Android Ice Cream Sandwich - the Nyan droid

This was actually a nod to the endlessly flying Nyan cat meme:

4. Android Jellybean - flickable Jellybeans

5. Android KitKat - the massive KitKat

In terms of easter eggs, we feel that Lollipop is by far the most interesting easter egg. Not to mention the most frustrating! To read our first impressions of the other features of Lollipop, click here.
