The return of Flappy Bird, developed by The Flappy Bird Foundation Group without its original creator Dong Nguyen, introduces new gameplay modes including Classic and Quest, alongside monetization strategies involving in-app purchases. Since the game was originally removed in 2014 due to concerns about its addictive nature, its controversial re-launch in 2024 has sparked discussions, particularly surrounding previous cryptocurrency ties and the ongoing absence of Nguyen, who lost his trademark after a legal dispute. As the game becomes available on the Epic Games Store for Android, further developments are awaited for iOS and PC.
“I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it's best to take down Flappy Bird. It's gone forever,” Nguyen stated during the original removal.
Flappy Bird has returned through The Flappy Bird Foundation Group, not in partnership with series designer Dong Nguyen, amidst controversy over cryptocurrency concerns.
The new version includes Classic and Quest modes, with in-app purchases for ad removal and special helmets for player revives, diverging into new content as well.
The game's launch created buzz in the gaming community, especially since it was previously removed by its creator for promoting excessive gaming addiction.
