It looks like Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has decided to come back after deciding his maddening bird-murder simulation was too addictive: Touch Arcade says his followup to Flappy Bird is called Swing Copters, and it's due out on Thursday of this week. The game will be free to play with a small ad, or you can pay a dollar to remove the ad if you're feeling generous.

There is a tiny bit of weirdness here: in May, Nguyen teased another new game with a screenshot that doesn't have much to do with the video above. Touch Arcade has a solid reputation, though, so we'll see what's up when Swing Copters actually hits — and if Nguyen can recapture the surge of popularity that made him pull Flappy Bird in the first place.
