I think every single "Flappy Bird tips and cheats" video on Youtube has the same "and then destroy your phone" joke.

Immanentizing the eschaton
I heard the guy who made this makes like $50 000 a day. And it took him what, a day or two to code?

I don't think he intended it to be anywhere near as successful as it ended up being. Probably just a small project that ended up being a phenomenon.

And now it's being taken down.

He received several threats, threats saying that the game was being a Mario ripoff, so what I've heard on the internet.

Honestly, I'm almost glad it's being taken down. I'm sick to death of hearing about it.

This game was Flappy Bird before Flappy Bird came out and 100x better:
For those of you who have tried it out, what's the highest score you've gotten? The farthest I've made it was 54 pts, and I don't think I'll be beating that score anytime soon.

I'm actually saddened that it got taken down. Apparently, him living in Vietnam, he couldn't handle the pressure that comes with making something monetarily successful. I think his family and friends really came down on him hard.

Apparently he was worried for peoples' health, everyone being so addicted to it.
Considering phones with the game on them are going for over 100000 dollars on eBay... yeah, i don't blame him.

I could make so much bank with my phone now...

Well if it makes you feel better, my high score is 8, and it looks like I won't be beating that record any time soon.

The only way to truly win the game is to sell your phone and buy, like, a Mercedes or something.

Still just awesome like that
Whaaaaat.
Whyyyyyyy.
People realize they can just go on the internet and find 40,000 clones of it, right? And with even better graphics that probably also have sprites and other assets blatantly stolen from other games too!
The winner of the King of the Nerds reality show got a high score of 723. While she was bored in a lecture. King of the Nerds, indeed.

x2 I don't know if anyone's buying them, to be fair.
I don't even think it's a good game, just an OK time waster and good for competing against friends.
And that competitiveness granted me a record of 272

Terry Cavanaugh's Maverick Bird deserves mention here.

Maverick Bird is pretty amazing, actually, if only because it actually changes the formula a bit.

When did everyone actually hear of Flappy Bird? I first noticed its existence less than two weeks before it got taken down, but apparently it was first published in May of last year?

I only heard about it quite recently. Less than a month ago, I'd say.
