    This game is really annoying but very addictive. The objective is simple: tap the screen to flap the bird and go through an unlimited set of Super Mario-style pipes. The slightest touch on a pipe will kill you. Flappy Bird is also an extremely unfair and challenging game.

Flappy Bird is also an extremely unfair and challenging game. There are tons of YouTube videos about this, and several inappropriate comments have been sent to the creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen. So, he took Flappy Bird off the App Store and Google Play Store. I am actually reviewing Flappy Bird: Remake, so there are advertisement pop-ups whenever you replay. There's not much else to say about Flappy Bird. It's not a good game, but it's just average. It's also very unfair and challenging, and the advert pop-ups are an annoyance. But, it's addictive and a nice way to pass 5 minutes. Expand

    I'm surprised that this game even got reviewed on here by professionals. The gameplay is intriguing yet infuriating. Enough to let me play this game for a couple months and put it down once I get a high score yet I still find myself playing it at few occasions.

    The game was not bad but Dong Nguyen had made it too impossible for players to like but at least he had made more things like the lesbian sex scene or when they lay an egg

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Flappy Bird, personally I think this game is overrated. However, I am being a hypocritical because I have only played it twice. It is a simple game, like Super Mario Bros. all you do is fly in between obstacle by flapping your wings. To flap your wings once you simply tap the button. The game ends when you collide with an obstacle. The score is then determined by how many obstacles you have managed to fly around. I give this game a 5/10, and remember, always explain what you think of a game in detail when you review them. Expand

    Very addictive, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons. It's also irritating.

    In my opinion, 6 means a so-so game. Which is exactly what this game is. It has a side that makes you want to play it all the time, and it has that side that makes you want to throw your device at a wall and throw it in a fire pit. It has many glitches, for example when it tells me I hit something when I didn't, and it quite occasionally lags. Overall, an okay game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game's simplicity thrives on adrenalin. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, a rip of mario about a bird that can't fly for sh*$%t. However it is Human Nature to be Competitive, and this game represents the epitome of competitiveness. It is exhilarating, fun and annoying. Expand

    not necessarily a revolutionary game, but i think its fun and challenging enough to have fun with it on many occasions. wether its sitting around competing with friends, or something to do in a waiting room.

    This is a good mobile game. An ok game, but a good mobile game. It is addictive and simple to pick up and play. The idea is simple, but the iOS port is a surprisingly difficult game. Once in a while the game will lag, or it'll glitch and say I hit something when I didn't, but most of the time... it's my lack of skill that makes me fail.

    I cant play this game personally, but i know it can be very addictive. 1 good feature about this game is that it makes all of its money from ads, and not Micro-transactions

    This game has a really crazy balance between being a good game and a bad game. Sometimes it really sucks when your just doing terrible and your only getting scores at about 1-5. But other times it can actually be kind of fun, when your beating your high score or your just on a really nice roll. So it really varies depending on how you play or just how your doing at the moment.

    It's impossible to grant this game a higher score no matter how addicting it is. Points granted for being an unexpectedly effective time consumer, and no points awarded for being practically redefining simplistic.

    You will only love it if you achieve repeatedly at least 100 points every time you play it but nonetheless, it isn't superb on graphics, actions, and styles. And the worst yet, it doesn't have originality, mostly it copies all the graphics from other Mario games. Overall, a mediocre.

    A average mobile game. Will make a long for a better highscore but other than that, no reason to play. Fun for a little while, angering for more. But I am sad to see it removed from the 'Google Play Store'.

    It's a good, addictive format but I still prefer Keepy Uppy World Cuppy on my iPhone - better game and good to have the football theme with Brazil 2014 about to kick off!

    The game is so simple, yet so addictive. Its also very frustrating. I however do wish the creator never removed it because it was a good game to play with friends.

    This game is very addictive, despite that the sprites were ripped straight from Super Mario Bros. This is currently my 77th least favourite game for the iOS and I do not recommend it.

    Behold; the most mediocre game I've ever played! Even for an iOS game, it's ridiculously simplistic. It's the epitome of a time-waster game, as you can play it when you have nothing else to do and have fun, but it's worth no more than that.

    At first, Flappy Bird can be addictive to play because of it's main sole objective that makes it's users to score a high point in evading "Super Mario-copied" pipes which are a somewhat uninspired graphics quality.

    Less functionality of the game is a boring and repetitive aspect of a certain game. And the result, is that Flappy Bird can be forgotten after a user has completed his single

    Less functionality of the game is a boring and repetitive aspect of a certain game. And the result, is that Flappy Bird can be forgotten after a user has completed his single milestone within the game, and that is "achieving a very score". As time progresses, there is nothing to do much with this game but to score high by evading numerous pipe obstacles.

    Its designs appeared to have been taken almost directly out of previously existing titles and, ultimately, Flappy Bird was a shallow, flash-in-the-pan smartphone anomaly that we’re not going to miss.

    Flappy Bird is very hard to rate. Is it a solid, hardcore experience? Or is it a simple tech demo made in a bunch of minutes? Well, both of these sentences are true.

    Flappy Bird isn't a good video game. It's arguably not even a fun one. But its no-frills approach and exacting, relentlessly repetitious gameplay make it an addictive short-term distraction for the skill and score-obsessed.
