Title: The Smash-Hit Game 'Flappy Bird' is Coming Back to the iPhone Post by: HCK on September 13, 2024, 04:05:04 pm The Smash-Hit Game 'Flappy Bird' is Coming Back to the iPhone
The iconic side-scrolling game Flappy Bird will apparently be returning to the iPhone soon, according to a website dedicated to the project (https://flappybird.org/). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/09/Flappy-Bird-Reboot.jpg) Flappy Bird was released in 2013 and quickly received tens of millions of downloads. However, the game was abruptly removed from the App Store in 2014 (https://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/09/flappy-bird-removed/) after its creator Dong Nguyen decided that the game was too addictive. Nguyen also disliked the excessive fame and attention that he started to receive as a result of the game's popularity. Flappy Bird was a simple game in which players tapped on the screen to navigate a small bird through columns of green pipes without hitting them, in an attempt to set a new high score. The website for the upcoming reboot of the game promises new characters and game modes, such as shooting the bird through basketball hoops. <div class="center-wrap"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xn6Yd-j8DeE?si=_TRkzq6K6fIbyv-j" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> Flappy Bird will return to a variety of platforms, including the web, with native iOS and Android apps planned to be released in 2025 (https://x.com/Wario64/status/1834220895855837355). The game's revival is being led by the so-called "Flappy Bird Foundation," which describes itself as a "new team of passionate fans committed to sharing the game with the world." The group says it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark rights. "It's been a decade-long, convoluted journey to get here, but we're so excited to finally begin sharing Flappy Bird once again with the world," the group said.<div class="linkback">Tags: App Store (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/), Flappy Bird (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/flappy-bird/)</div> This article, "The Smash-Hit Game 'Flappy Bird' is Coming Back to the iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/12/flappy-bird-returning-to-iphone/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/the-smash-hit-game-flappy-bird-is-coming-back-to-the-iphone.2436005/) in our forums Source: The Smash-Hit Game 'Flappy Bird' is Coming Back to the iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/12/flappy-bird-returning-to-iphone/) |
