Yep. He wasn't joking.
People are now trying to sell their smartphones with "Flappy Bird" installed for extortionate prices... Gotta love the internet :D
I actually think it's a really addictive and fun little game. Perhaps he did copy that French guys game, but I prefer Flappy Bird... I note today that 3 of the top 20 games on iOS have Flappy in the title :)

Just managed 40 by the skin of my teeth. I think I need my eye's testing tbh. I keep having to refocus as I'm playing and it messes my game up (excuses, excuses)

It doesn't. There's a collision box around the bird which **** you when you attempt to skim past the pipe corners.

It's a shoddily slapped together piece of ****. A "hello world v2" homebrew thing at best. It happens to be a simple, quick, but hard score challenge. I suppose it has that going for it. And I must admit I prefer competing for double digit scores than meaningless multi-millions.

I'm not so much surprised about Dong pulling the app as I am his managing to keep a straight face while saying it "offers something different from everything else" and hyping that there's "no microtransactions". Millions of users and 50k a day too?! :wtf: I thought it was just us nobbers playing with it.

It might even be a shrewd business move. :think: I hope not though. It gives me great faith in the human race to think Dong looked at the popularity of his atrocity, thought "Oh god what have I done?", waited until he made a million or two and then killed it.

Actually I should patent a turd game where you tap the screen to make the turd float a bit through spikes and pipes.

He is thinking about a Flappy Birds Sequel. I'm completely bemused by the removal of the game. He claims it was nothing to do with legalities, but perhaps he thought that a court case may take away all the money he has earned. Assuming that the adverts still pay out for impressions, he must have made a lot of money.

Honestly, I actually thought of that! If the developer bloke who slapped it together gets rich I'm going to be **** off.
