Report: Multiplayer Flappy Bird swooping, crashing in August

4.1
Dong Nguyen, the creator of viral sensation Flappy Bird, has reportedly told CNBC's Kelly Evans that the game will make a return in August, with new multiplayer-centric features. Evans tweeted the news earlier today, as did CNBC's social media team.

Nguyen took Flappy Bird down earlier this year, claiming it was addictive. How the addition of multiplayer would help solve that is anybody's guess, but this isn't the first time Nguyen has considered reviving his flappy phenomenon.

Back in March, when it was reported that 60 Flappy Bird clones were hitting the mobile market every day - that's 2.5 every hour, or one every 24 minutes - Nguyen said he would consider making the game available again, albeit with a warning that cautioned players to take a break from playing.

This is going to be crazy. What if he had this all along and just took it off the App Store to increase/create hype?

Miss This guy is just going to make a ton more of money now. Never understood why he took it down in the first place.


He took it down because every day jealous people on the internet would spam him and call him 'lucky' and so on. Basically he got tired of all the stress, after all he is the sole dev for the game, no team, just him. But hopefully Apple and so on will take down all the copies when he re-releases the game.
