* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The game was criticised by some 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''.

* {{Misblamed}}: A handful of people seem to think that the reason the game was taken down from the store was because of Creator/{{Nintendo}} threatening legal action, which, as the CreatorBacklash entry on the trivia page can attest to, isn't even remotely close to the truth. It also has nothing to do with the media and consumer backlash; this was more due to the creator unable to cope with the massive attention.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The game's flapping mechanics, considered novel by some, go as far back as the classic arcade game ''VideoGame/{{Joust}}'' from 1982.
