Flappy Bird is a smartphone game created by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen and launched in 2013. The game rapidly obtained extensive popularity as a result of its captivating gameplay and intuitive standards, although it also attracted controversy and attention due to its challenging nature and propensity for causing frustration.

Flappy Bird is a game when players move a diminutive avian creature through a sequence of pipes that contain openings. The goal is to go through the openings without making contact with the pipes or the ground, necessitating accurate timing and synchronization. Scoring points is achieved by successfully passing through each gap, and the objective is to get to the highest total feasible.

Flappy Bird is notably tricky. The game is renowned for its merciless gameplay, as players frequently grapple with the challenge of upholding the bird's flight and evading obstacles. Consequently, numerous players developed a strong dependency on the game.

Flappy Bird initially had a comparable reception to Nguyen's earlier games, meaning that it was relatively unknown to most people for several months. In late October, he issued a minor update that rectified some software glitches. Several days later, there was an unexpected change - a different individual, other than Nguyen, sent the initial tweet regarding the game.


The game was exasperating, yet essential. Furthermore, due to the tendency of unhappiness to seek companionship, gamers who encountered it felt the need to express their dismay. During the month of November, the number of users of Flappy Bird increased carefully. Reviews started to gradually appear: one every day, then three, and eventually reaching a total of 20. The popularity of Flappy Bird appeared to been solely driven by word-of-mouth as users conveyed their ambivalent affection towards the game. Nguyen utilized Twitter to engage with his progressively growing fan community, even making promises to adapt the game for Android.
