The game was released in May 2013 but received a sudden spike in popularity in early 2014. Flappy Bird received poor reviews from some critics, who criticized its high level of difficulty and alleged plagiarism in graphics and game mechanics, while other reviewers found it addictive. At the end of January 2014, it was the most downloaded free game in the App Store for iOS. During this period, its developer said that Flappy Bird was earning $50,000 a day from in-app advertisements as well as sales.
Unfortunately, Flappy Bird was removed from both the App Store and Google Play on February 10, 2014, with Nguyen claiming that he felt guilty over what he considered to be the game's addictive nature. Due to the anticipated removal, those phones who managed to keep the game have been sold for an incredibly higher price posted through Amazon and other online selling stores. I also keep a copy of this game on my Android phone.
