The game was frustrating yet compulsive. Additionally, players who found it wanted to complain since sorrow loves company. Slowly but surely, Flappy Bird added users during November. One review a day, then three, then twenty, soon started to come in. As gamers shared their love/hate connection with Flappy Bird, it appeared that word of mouth was the only factor driving its growth. In order to communicate with his steadily expanding fan base, Nguyen took to Twitter. He even made a promise to convert the game to Android.
By the end of December, Flappy Bird managed to climb to the 80th spot on the "Free Games" ranking of the US App Store. After then, it took off. As more people flocked to Twitter to lament the game's extreme difficulty, its popularity started to rise rapidly. As Flappy Bird cracked the top 40 most downloaded free iPhone games, Nguyen got more and more delighted. Then it was in the top 10.
Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen launched the mobile game Flappy Bird in 2013. Due to its straightforward physics and engrossing gameplay, it became extremely famous very quickly. However, its complexity and frustration element caused criticism and attention.
In the game Flappy Bird, users assume control of a little bird and guide it through a sequence of pipes with holes in them. The goal is to go through the gaps without driving into the pipes or the ground, which calls for careful planning and timing. The object of the game is to get the greatest score possible by earning points for each gap that is made it through.
In addition, Flappy Bird became well-known for its spare visuals, which included pixel art and straightforward animations to evoke a nostalgic and retro sense. In 2014, Dong Nguyen, the game's inventor, finally took Flappy Bird down from the app stores, citing the game's addictive qualities and detrimental effects on his life. But the game's impact and appeal persisted, and other developers produced a ton of clones and spin-offs.
