The popular indie game Flappy Bird has been dominating the news mills for the last two weeks especially when its founder, Dong Nguyen, decided to pull it off the iOS and Android app store. The reason? Apparently it took a whole out of his time, and did not like the fact that players misused the game. Nguyen wanted people to play his game whilst relaxing, not all day long.
Nguyen told The Verge that the app was racking up $50,000 per day from ad revenue. That’s insane. Let’s suppose he has been making this amount for three weeks now, then Nguyen put more than 1 million dollars in his pockets. In addition, the app had been downloaded 50 million times and accumulated 47,000 reviews on the app store.
Furthermore, people started making use of people’s addiction to the particular title by selling iOS and Android devices with the game pre-installed for whopping price tags.
With that said, in case you accidentally deleted app or can’t access it whatsoever, there is a way of actually rocking that bird again. And no, we are not referring to the hundreds of Flappy Bird mock ups. This is the real thing.
All you have to do is head up to FlappyBird.io. The website features a simple interface. It includes the game in HTML 5 form, thus being compatible to mobile devices, and can also be accessed via PCs as well. We found the game a bit luggy on mobile browsers, though the PC version performed fair enough.
