I only got good at Jetty Boot specifically to unlock the jet boots. And it's the one mini-game I kinda resent.

Nothing about flappy bird was original when it came out and half its assets were ripped from other games.
Yeah because it was a free game in the "hold to fly the helicopter up" genre that wasn't supposed to blow up this much. There are millions of such games on app stores, steam, etc. Some of them catch lightning in a bottle and become ridiculously popular despite there not being anything special about them.
I thought the creator committed suicide when the game became popular... Edit he didn't
Yeah I thought the same. I knew I saw it or read it somewhere but apparently that's not true. I still don't remember the reason why he took it off. Wonder if the death threats were actually true too.
He took it down because he felt it was too addictive. He made $50,000 the day before he took it down, so he was choosing morals over money.
I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.
I was confused as fuck, but figured "well the creator probably doesn't give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it"
I guess I'm kinda right.
I saw one in an actual arcade called "flappy tickets." Hell, half of the games there were shitty mobile games blown up onto a big screen.
It’s just helicopter anyway
the first gen apple fanboys would not hear it whenever I brought this up.
you just unlocked a core memory.

This memory contains audiophile content.
It would be nice if at the very least the app stores wouldn’t bother posting the rip off versions.
Flappy bird is the rip-off version of a different game already
All they care about it pools of money. Only when somebody finds out about the malware do they actually do something - not to protect users but because of bad press. Then the news cycle is over and things die down for the money-printing machine to continue.
