Certainly the developer who created the Flappy Bird game would never have expected a planetary success as it did. In the main stores of mobile applications, that of Apple for iPhone and Google for Android, in first place today is Flappy Bird, the most downloaded and installed game in the world.
the success of Flappy Bird, a game that has gone "viral" in the last two months on Twitter and Youtube, is due to a combination of factors, including the fact that it is completely free, the slightly vintage 8-bit graphics, the simplicity of a game that is ideal for making short games at any time and the fact that it is really difficult to play, thus becoming an exciting challenge.
The goal of Flappy Bird is simple: you just have to touch the screen to keep the bird flying without falling on the ground and dodge obstacles in the path.
The game genre is that of the side-scrolling runner games of which we remember the main exponent, that JetPack Joyride, in some ways similar to Flappy Bird, certainly more beautiful and more elaborate, but now a bit out of fashion.
As said above, Flappy Bird is a very difficult game, in which you only have to sweat to make a double-digit score.
UPDATE : For some reason unknown to us, perhaps for violating rules or for copyright issues, Flappy Bird is withdrawn from stores and can no longer be downloaded for mobile; however, you can still play online from the PC on Kongregate.
Flappy Bird could first be installed and played for free on iPhone and iPad, on Android smartphones.
The fact that this game has been retired makes the fortune of the clones and games similar to Flappy Bird, which are almost identical to the original game, perhaps even better.
1) Flappy Crush for Android, different from Flappy Bird only for the designs, the music and the fact that the bird in this game looks like the red one of Angry Birds. This game is fun especially in the multiplayer race mode, where you play in 4 in real time and whoever arrives first wins and, consequently, makes fewer mistakes.
2) Flappy Nyan is a perfect clone of Flappy Bird, with the same unchanged gameplay, which features the nyan cat.
The game has beautiful graphics, scenarios that change every game, a piece of music that remains in the lead and you can play with scrolling to the right or left.
3) Dunk Shot for Android is a ball that must fly from one basket to another, very fun as an idea.
4) Flappy Dunk for Android is a game similar to Flappy Bird, difficult like this, where you have to make a basket in the cylinders that meet.
In this case you do not go forward with horizontal scrolling, but you have to go through the baskets.
5) Happy Poo Flap where what flies is really a poop.
6) IronPants for iPhone
Unlike Flappy Bird, it scrolls up and down.
