Flappy Bird is a mobile game that was released in 2013 by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen. The game quickly became a viral sensation, gaining millions of downloads and generating a massive amount of media attention.
In Flappy Bird, players control a bird character that must navigate through a series of pipes without crashing into them. The gameplay is simple - players tap the screen to make the bird flap its wings and ascend, and the bird falls back down when the player stops tapping. The goal is to get the bird as far as possible without crashing into the pipes or hitting the ground.
The game's difficulty is notorious, with many players finding it frustratingly challenging. The pipes are placed at varying heights and distances apart, and the bird moves quickly, making it difficult to avoid collisions. The game features retro-style graphics and sound effects, adding to its nostalgic appeal.
Despite its popularity, Flappy Bird was eventually removed from app stores by its developer due to concerns over its addictive nature and the negative attention it was receiving. However, the game's legacy lives on, with many similar games inspired by its simple yet challenging gameplay.
