Flappy Bird to stop flapping

4.4
Dong Nguyen, the developer behind Flappy bird, has threatened to take the popular game down due to his inability to cope with success.

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.


We'll keep you updated on the latest regarding Flappy Bird and it's seemingly unstable developer.

How do you think you would cope if something you created had widespread success almost overnight?

GILF 50k a day for such a simple game is unreal haha.........he might aswell carry on with it until it isn't popular anymore.....like the previous apps that have come and gone


They always come and go. None of them consistently stay at the top.


that's what I mean theres no point him taking it off of the app store and everything because by the end of the month the flappybird hype will be over and everyone will have found a different game to go on :P

He was getting so much popularity, if i was him i would keep going with it. But at the same time i don't think this game would of been to popular for maybe a couple more months.
