History VideoGame / FlappyBird

* NintendoHard: The pipes have just a little bit more than what you need to navigate between them, without a difficulty curve or any more obstacles. You'll go as far as your reflexes and nerves let you.

** There is also a version with the [[Plaform/AndroidGames Android]] mascot instead of the bird and lollipops instead of pipes hidden as an EasterEgg in Android Lollipop (5.0). It is also present in Android Marshmallow (6.0) with marshmallows instead of lollipops.

* VideoGameDemake: As simple a game as it is, it's very easy to port, so homebrew versions have been created for virtually every video game system, from the UsefulNotes/Atari2600 to the UsefulNotes/PokemonMini.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The game was criticised for being an almost complete copy/ripoff of a French-developed game called ''Piou Piou vs. Cactus'', including gameplay (tap on the screen), main character design (small yellow bird with big red beak) and obstacles (green pipes/cacti). When confronted about this, Nguyen claimed he had never heard of ''Piou Piou vs. Cactus''. Since the game was removed from the App Store it's spawned a massive number of half-assed clones trying to capitalize on the success of the first to the point that clones started to be labelled "spam" if they tried to submit to the store.

''Flappy Bird'' was a 2013 MobilePhoneGame. It reached the #1 position in the Apple App Store in February 2014 and due to certain circumstances was abruptly pulled not too long after.
