imagine buying a flappy phone for 60k only for it to come back on the appstore a few weeks later

Indeed. It’s interesting how the game got even more popular after the takedown and is so iconic it’s generally a good example game to make for game devs. Simple, yet so effective.

didnt the creator take it down because he received numerous death-threads because of the game, not necessarily because it was successful?

[raiznsisig]

from what i can remember he was harassed for creating it. They liken it to drugs which is fking stupid. Hopefully he is doing well nowadays...

[sisamusudroka]

Lol, good to see PewDiePie humour hasn't changed 😂.

[nowknow]

Dude flappy bird was blowing up before PewDiePie. I'm sorry but I think he played it because it was becoming so popular, not the other way around.

[gamanyme]

It wasn't really like that, he was sued by nintendo, and he said it was because of the harassment to save online face, he was getting millions out of it and could just ignore the messages and that's what he was doing, until it got legal

[MrDeltoric]

i was in high school during the time and every student had a school issued ipad. those of us with flappy bird installed during that time were considered kings amongst the peasants

[kamixakadio]

I remember shit on the news about an older brother who stabbed his younger brother in the back with a knife, because he got a better score than him on Flappy Birds. I always thought That was the reason for it being removed

[boogaboots]

you can look up flappy bird you can play it

[Zoiskon]

Lol he took it down because he simply said in an interview "I was just bored"

[justineluizpedrina]

I remember that time, we are using android phones and we can just send the APK (not sure if apk or akp or something) so the other phone can just install it

[ARQ]

The creator couldn't handle what? Hate? Or great fame after making that game. He could make the game 5$ and would earn a lot of money. I don't understand his thought process

[animationtv]

Flappy bird was made by the devil fr fr

[luigiramirez]

I thought it was copy right stike because he used Nintendo's green pipes. I still have flappy bird too.

[EvanTheBAST]

I had the og and it's prolly still on my apple account but I switched to android at iPhone 5 lol

[textmachine]

Man i still have flappy bird on my iphone 3gs. But the iphone needs a new battery though.

[deathgazereaper]

Wasn’t it taken down cause apple had to keep replacing iPhone

[explosive-duck]

I just downloaded an apk, must suck to have an iPhone

[harrietje]

I still have the of flappy bird on my phone. Am i cool now?
