Flappy Bird 2.1

Flappy Bird was related to other mobile games he Nguyen had developed, such as Shuriken Block or Super Ball Juggling. Flappy Bird was much more popular than those games. In addition to the graphics, which were a cute homage to classic sprite art, the gameplay was easy to understand and the difficulty was ramped up to a high level, which required that games lasted only a few seconds.

Tap onto the display to fly up, release it to dive down, and explore through gaps in a sequence of green pipes that are unarguably modeled after those found in the Super Mario series. The concept seemed almost too simple to be true. Several times the height of the bird, the gaps were invitingly broad and invitingly large. However, due to the sheer speed in which the bird traveled and the rapidity with which it dove up and down, it was incredibly difficult to make it through the gap without being destroyed. Due to the fact that you only receive one point for each pipe that you clean, it is highly possible that your high score will remain in the single digits, if not zero.


For an extended period of time, Flappy Bird was not as successful as Nguyen\'s other games, which is to say that very few people were aware of its existence. Late in the month of October, he made released a minor update that addressed a few problems. After a few days had passed, something changed: the first tweet about the game was sent by someone different from Nguyen at that time.
