The phenomenon of this game absolutely boggles my mind. I've read all the articles about this game, and just can't seem to get how it got so popular so quickly. I feel like it's a just a giant troll or something, although I know that's not the case. Also, I still haven't understood the whole "Super Mario World" graphics rip of it?

It frankly startled me how much more fun and amusing this was than single player flappy bird. I immediately laughed out loud when I saw the first second or so of animation. Bravo!

I've recently decided that, for me, if a game design can't be reshaped to being shared with multiple people, I'd rather not make it. To me, games are at their best when they help create shared stories and memories for multiple people. This little thing has glints of promise.

edit: If creator is reading this:

Please remove the bubble around the players bird - you have to judge distances really carefully in this game, and the bubble makes it even harder.

Also the rotation animation in this version is distracting. The original Flappy Bird only rotated slightly (nose tipping up slightly while flapping) unless really diving fast.

Good fun though.

Well everyone was like "Wow this game is frustratingly stupid, what score have you got to so far?"

Then the roll-on effect happened where everyone starts using it to brag about their scores :).
