In Flappy Bird, the player controls a bird named Faby and tries to fly through pillars of blue pipes without touching them. How far can you go?
The game was developed by Vietnamese game developer Nguyen Ha Dong under his company dotGears. It was first released for iOS and Android in May 2013. The game was a huge success, with over 50 million downloads in its first few months. However, Dong removed the game from the App Store and Google Play Store in February 2014, citing concerns about addiction and the game's negative impact on his health.
The player controls a flappy bird that must fly through a series of pipes without touching them. The bird flies up when the player touches the screen and falls down when the player does not touch the screen. Players will receive points based on the number of pipes they pass. Players just need to tap the screen to make the bird flap its wings, trying to maintain a steady pace to pass tubes along the way. The game ends if the bird hits the water pipe or falls off the screen.
