Flappy Bird was a mobile game developed by Vietnamese game developer Dong Nguyen in 2013. The game features a small bird that the player must navigate through a series of pipes by tapping on the screen to make the bird flap its wings and fly upward. The game quickly gained popularity due to its simple but addictive gameplay and challenging difficulty.

At its peak, Flappy Bird was reportedly earning its developer up to $50,000 per day in ad revenue. However, in February 2014, Dong Nguyen announced that he would be removing the game from the App Store and Google Play Store, citing concerns about the game’s addictive nature and the negative impact it was having on some players.

The removal of Flappy Bird from the app stores caused a lot of controversy and speculation, with some speculating that Nguyen had removed the game due to legal issues or pressure from other companies. However, Nguyen maintained that he simply wanted to remove the game from the public eye and focus on other projects. Despite its brief lifespan, Flappy Bird has left a lasting impact on the mobile gaming industry and remains a cultural phenomenon to this day.

Flappy Bird play

To play Flappy Bird, you need to tap on the screen to make the bird flap its wings and fly upward. The goal of the game is to navigate the bird through a series of pipes without hitting them. Each pipe that the bird passes through earns the player one point. The game continues until the bird hits a pipe or falls to the ground.

Flappy Bird is known for its challenging difficulty, with precise timing required to successfully navigate the bird through the pipes. It can be frustrating at first, but with practice and persistence, players can improve their skills and achieve higher scores.
