It appears the lone developer cannot handle the success of his game, he claims it has changed his "simple life".
I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it."Dong Nguyen"
It is estimated that he is making upwards of $50k a day via in-game ads while garnering 50 million downloads from the various platforms. Keith Shepherd, co-founder of the developer behind Temple Run, has reached out in a bid to help the struggling Dong cope. It is unclear at time of posting if he intends to accept the help.
@hermanjakobi @dongatory I'd be happy to talk to him about it. TR's success was a roller coaster. He can dm me if he wants to chat.
