The Flappy Bird Saga Continues: Original Creator Denies Involvement in New Game
Dong Nguyen, the original creator of the infamous mobile game Flappy Bird, is once again making headlines but this time for something he claims he has no connection to. A new game titled Flappy Birds Family 2 has emerged on the mobile gaming scene, bearing striking similarities to the original Flappy Bird game that became a worldwide sensation in 2013.
Nguyen took to his Twitter account to address the confusion surrounding the new game, stating, I don’t know what Flappy Birds Family 2 is. I am not related to it. This statement has left many fans scratching their heads, wondering who is behind the new game and why it is so reminiscent of the original Flappy Bird.
Flappy Bird took the world by storm with its simplistic yet frustrating gameplay. Players were tasked with guiding a pixelated bird through a series of obstacles by tapping the screen to make it flap its wings. The game’s addictive nature led to widespread popularity, but Nguyen ultimately decided to remove it from app stores in 2014, citing the game’s addictiveness and the toll it was taking on his personal life.
Despite its removal, Flappy Bird remains a cultural touchstone in the gaming world, with clones and spin-offs continuing to be released in an attempt to capture the magic of the original. Flappy Birds Family 2 appears to be the latest iteration in this ongoing trend, but the lack of involvement from Nguyen raises questions about its legitimacy and whether it is simply cashing in on the nostalgia surrounding the iconic game.
Fans of Flappy Bird are conflicted about Flappy Birds Family 2. Some are excited to see a new take on the gameplay that captured their hearts years ago, while others are skeptical of the game’s origins and authenticity. Without Nguyen’s stamp of approval, the new game may struggle to gain the same level of credibility and success that the original Flappy Bird achieved.
As the mystery surrounding Flappy Birds Family 2 deepens, one thing remains clear: Dong Nguyen’s legacy as the creator of Flappy Bird endures, regardless of his involvement in any subsequent games bearing the name. Only time will tell if Flappy Birds Family 2 can soar to the same heights as its predecessor or if it will be forever overshadowed by the original’s legacy.
