Took me forever (~10 seconds) to figure out I had to press up to work the bird.
Or spacebar!

#22So much fun to see the "natural selection" at work (for a lack of a better word)
Re: Massively multiplayer online Flappy Bird
#23The 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?
Ever played Yeti sport?

That's a valid point. I would be a liar if I said I did not love those Yeti mini games back in the day. The Flamingo Drive one always cracked me up. Ha

As there's more choice, people seem to be more interested in what others are doing, so when something gets some traction it can grow very big very fast. (And this game had some help at the start, it seems).
If it wasn't Flappy Bird, it would be something else. But this game does have the key elements: simple, accessible, shareable.

#29I can clearly see how FB became popular. There's something to extreme difficulty and simplicity.

#30Really? This is what all the flap is about? This is awful. It's almost impossible to get passed the first set of pipes because the a single click makes the bird jump half the height of the screen. Is the mobile app just as unusable?
