The recent release of a new game called Flappy Birds Family has caused a stir among fans of the original mobile game Flappy Bird. Despite the similarities in name and gameplay, the original creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, has clarified that he has no involvement in this new game.
Nguyen rose to fame in 2013 with the release of Flappy Bird, a simple yet addictive mobile game where players navigate a bird through a series of pipes by tapping the screen to keep the bird airborne. The game quickly became a viral sensation, reaching the top of the charts on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
However, Nguyen’s success with Flappy Bird also came with its challenges. The intense scrutiny and pressure from the media and fans took a toll on Nguyen, leading him to ultimately remove the game from the app stores in 2014. Despite its removal, Flappy Bird left a lasting impact on the mobile gaming industry, inspiring countless imitators and spin-offs.
Fast forward to 2021, and a new game titled Flappy Birds Family has surfaced, bearing a striking resemblance to the original game. While fans were quick to draw connections between the two, Nguyen took to Twitter to address the confusion and clarify that he has no involvement in this new iteration of the game.
The release of Flappy Birds Family serves as a reminder of the enduring popularity and influence of the original Flappy Bird game. Despite its creator distancing himself from the new game, the nostalgia and fond memories associated with Flappy Bird continue to captivate players and inspire new creations in the gaming world.
As fans reminisce about the simplicity and addictiveness of the original Flappy Bird, it is evident that the legacy of the game lives on, with or without the direct involvement of its creator. The story of Flappy Bird and its unexpected rise and fall stands as a testament to the unpredictable nature of success in the world of mobile gaming, leaving a lasting imprint on the industry for years to come.
