A decade after its untimely demise and countless clones later, the original Flappy Bird is coming back. Under the banner of the Flappy Bird Foundation, some dedicated fans acquired the rights to the viral mobile hit, per a press release.

The team is planning to bring the game to other platforms, such as desktop and the mobile web, starting this fall.
