Flappy Bird
Gameplay:
Flappy Bird is a side-scrolling mobile game featuring 2D retro style graphics. The objective is to direct a flying bird, which moves continuously to the right, between each oncoming set of pipes without colliding with them, which otherwise ends the game. The bird briefly flaps upward each time the player taps the screen, and the player is scored on the number of pipe sets the bird successfully passes through.
Release:
Flappy Bird was originally released on May 24, 2013[8] with support for the iPhone 5. The game was subsequently updated for iOS 7 in September 2013.[9] In January 2014, it topped the Free Apps chart in the US and Chinese App Stores,[9][10] and later on that month topped the same section of the UK App Store where it was touted as "the new Angry Birds."[4] It ended January as the most downloaded App on the App Store.[11] The Android version of Flappy Bird was released to the Google Play store on January 30, 2014.[12] In early 2014, The Verge reported that the game was earning around $50,000 a day in revenue through its in-game advertising.[13]
Discontinuation:
On February 8, 2014, Nguyen announced on Twitter that the game was to be removed from both Apple's App Store and Google Play, writing at 11am UTC: "I am sorry Flappy Bird users, 22 hours from now, I will take Flappy Bird down. I cannot take this anymore."[14] He went on to say that taking down the game has "nothing to do with legal issues".[15] On February 9, 2014, almost exactly 22 hours after this announcement, the game was removed from both Apple's App Store and Google Play.[16] Following the removal, Time reported that several merchants on eBay were selling phones that had the app pre-installed for up to US$900 or more.[17] An iPhone 5s with Flappy Bird installed on it received 74 bids on eBay and is going for $99,900. There are a number of devices with Flappy Bird installed that are receiving multiple bids and will presumably sell for thousands of dollars.[18][19][20][21]
The removal also spawned fan-made remakes and parodies of the game, such as the web-based Flappy Doge.
