Google teased the Easter egg on Friday with this tweet:

The game is just as hard as Flappy Bird. But instead of controlling a bird, you get to navigate a tiny Android robot through various Lollipop-filled stages. To access it, go to the Settings menu, scroll all the way down to About Phone, and then tap the Android Version field five times.

A lollipop will appear on the screen, and you should long press it when it appears. The game will appear on the screen after that.
