"Flappy Bird"
creator Dong Nguyen announced on
Twitter today that he will be taking the game off the app store at around
noon tomorrow EST. He goes on to
say that it isn’t for legal issues, but because he “cannot keep it anymore.”
This update
comes only a few days after he went to
Twitter to ask people to stop putting so much attention on his games. “Press
people are overrating the success of my games,” he said. “It is something I
never want. Please give me peace.”
"Flappy
Bird” is a simple game on the Apple and Andriod app stores that has players
flying a small bird through two sets of pipes (which look very similar to pipes
from the Mario series). The game has gained a lot of attention for being both
complicated and having no end. Several videos and images, as well as a game, have been posted online to parody the game.
