He is Nguyễn Hà Đông, a Vietnam-based developer from Hanoi. He created Flappy Bird in the span of two to three days, realeasing it on May 24, 2013, and removing it from both Apple’s App Store and Google Play on February 10, 2014.
The goal is flying a bird tapping on the touch screen while avoiding the pipes. The game rules are very simple. When the bird touches a pipe or hit the ground, the game is over. The player receives one point for each pipe that prevents the bird. The game contains graphic equivalent to Super Mario World and commercials.
Flappy Bird, is one of the most popular mobile game. Nguyễn Hà Đông earned an average of $50,000 daily with this game. But it was too much for him. “I cannot take this anymore.”
Or, it is about publicity? After using bots to write thousands of positive fake reviews of Flappy Bird?
Now there are tens of clones of Flappy Bird, with crazy different names. With or without ads. But the gamers still searching for the original game.
