    I have seen many many clones of Flappy Bird come out. All of them are just simple clones with reskins. I have some great ideas to add to it and was wondering if I decided to continue with the project would I be able to release it or would it hit some copyright laws and legal issues for using the same idea?

    The graphics would be different and wouldn't be ripped from Nintendo and such.

    Not all of them are simple clones with reskins :p Terry Cavanagh's one changes after a while.

    Make one where you control the pipes not the bird.

    Or a strategic manager game where you're fighting to make your Flappy Bird clone before the other 2 billions of cloners :D
