Good bye floppy birds for good ? (Being taking down February 9th, 2014)

Have you heard of the newest rising star in the apple store recently? If not, look around, even in the play store, it's a pretty hot game. Made it to the number one list within days, and the game doesn't have much to it besides tapping on the screen making sure the bird flies in between the pipes. Yup, it's floppy birds. 

As of now, many of the games that's along the same branch are also on the top ten, which includes ironpants, super ball juggling, 

shuriken block, and a copy verison of floppy bird called flappy planes by some other Asian. It's scary how it's all dominating the top list chart when all they do, and the whole purpose of the game is to tap for each and every one of them. I never understood, even up to now, why all my friends are addicted to it. And heck, were in the same generations too. This game isn't just popular for teens but from kids to adult as well. Each trying their best to beat their friends score, or to test the impossible. 

To be honest, my highest score was 4, so there, laugh all you want. 

However, the jokes may be on you now. So, according to the Vietnamese creator of this game, Nguyen Ha Dong, he declared that he is going to take the game "floppy bird" down 22 hours from then (when he posted), although the reasons are still a bit of unsure, all we know as of now is that he said he is taking it down for personal purpose even though he earns about $50,000 from advertisements alone a day. How crazy is that? 

(His tweeter is @dongatory , so if anyone wanna protest, there you have it.

So according to buzzfeed:

Nguyen Ha Dong, the indie game developer who created overnight

 hit Flappy Bird, just tweeted that he is planning on taking the game down tomorrow.

It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.

Pipes look more polished, the background oscillates between night and day, and Flappy Bird changes from red, blue, or yellow
