In a bizarre turn of events, the Vietnamese creator of the maddeningly difficult #1 Android and Apple AAPL +1.4% iOS game Flappy Bird is saying that he’s taking the game down within the next day.

Developer Dong Nguyen announced the decision on Twitter just a few hours ago:

“I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore.”

Good riddance.

1) either Nintendo is being gracious allowing him to simply take it down...

Or

2) it's related to chick problems.

i doubt its nintendo. there is are games just like mario.

 

I bet its to get more downloads.

Taking it down is just the first step...

 

The only way we can truly forgive this man for unleashing the abomination that is flappy bird upon us is if he takes all the money he made and donates it all to benefiting blind orphans....

Why does everyone on here hate this game? Is it just your classic "real" gamer being a snob about mobile games?

They're insecure about gaming.

It's a blatant rip off of helicopter.



Good. I want to taste the tears and rage of all of the people who are addicted to the game. Good riddance.

They're insecure about gaming.

They're trying to compensate for the lack of gaming experience they get compared something so deep and unique as "Flappy Bird".

FINALLY, someone else agrees with me. It is 100% a blatant rip off of the Helicopter game. See here: http://www.play-helicopter-game.com/

It only makes it worse that the assets were extremely similar to Super Mario.

Pretty much, yeah.


This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

“I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.”

 

I like this guy.


"So if Zero Suit Samus is fanbait for guys, where is the fanbait for girls? Why isn’t Captain Falcon wearing a thong or sporting a chest twice the size of his last model? Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

Why does everyone on here hate this game? Is it just your classic "real" gamer being a snob about mobile games?

1. It's a ripoff of Helicopter

2. It has mario assets

3. The internet have been screaming for the last week or so about the games, making stupid memes and praying the game

4. The game itself is SOOOO BAD, it's just tap the screen to make a little jump and you need to get past the pipes, that's it! How is that a good game in any way?!?
