    This game is great, although it has since been removed from the App Store and I would love to see a new copy remade, with maybe a few new features like a new map ?!?!?!

    This game is one of the best games that I have ever played with simple controls and clean graphics, this is the game for any situation. Due to this game being accessible on basically any device It means that you can play it any time you want and with how addicting it is you will be trying to improve your score with every attempt.

    Aunque puede llegar a ser algo adictivo y satisfactorio romper tu record, el no tener nada extra le baja muchísimo la nota. Juegos casuales tienen subidas de rangos, premios, modos de juego, etc... Flappy Bird no tiene nada que te invite a seguir jugando por lo que se muere a los 10 minutos. No creo que ni un niño borracho quiera tocarlo.

    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

    Flappy Bird is one of the most garbage games I have ever played. There is no point to the game, while its entertaining for the first 5 attempts you make it gets to be a pain in the ass, and you never win. The graphics are also terrible.

As time progresses, there is nothing to do much with this game but to score high by evading numerous pipe obstacles.

    How can people hate this game? It changed so much on the appstore and became so popular so fast and made it into so many things like shows, videos, movies, jokes. It was literally everywhere, and people still hated it. I know that this game is frustrating, I know that it isn't always the most fun to play continuously but it sure was addicting.

It was fun to challenge friends for a bit and it's no wonder why this game gained popularity so fast. The developer deserved the money that he got from this and even though he managed to lose the app, he still managed to get enough out of it. I was impressed with what they were able to do, even if the textures were stolen, there was basically only like three and the fun in the game came from the gameplay, not the art. This game overall was worth playing and even though it wasn't the best, everyone still knows what it is and it spread around like crazy when it was out there.… Expand

    Flappy Bird is many things: shallow, infuriating, addictive, etc. It's also nothing, a hollow, vacuous ploy to have you tapping a screen like a moron until the game enforces the idea that you suck, for letting such a crummy game beat you, for getting upset that such a crummy game beat you, for playing such a crummy game at all.

    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.

    This app makes people go insane and gameplay is just using your thumb or your fingers. Variety is a no way and is it addicting. To me it isn't. This game is now token off the app store. Thank god!

    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.

    The difficulty is not my problem with this game. The main problems are the mechanics and the graphics. Not as addicting as it could be, but this game is good enough to make me keep playing until I can get a score of six or higher.

    It could addict you for two minutes,but after it really annoys you seeing a stupid bird flapping around, you would want to throw your phone. This game also copies the pipes from Mario which is even worse

    I gave this game a big fat '0' ! Honestly, I don't understand why people love this game so much. It's so hard, and has little sound effects and you call this an addictive game! What's worse, it parodies other games such as Mario. To sum up, this game is a complete waste of my time and I have better things to do than playing this game.

    This game can barely be considered a game at all. It is made to piss people off and shows minimal effort in its graphics and gameplay mechanics. I guess it doesn't need that though considering its simplicity. 2/10 (horrible)

    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.

    I guess this is an okay concept, but it's just a huge rip off of a free online game released in 2011 called Piou Piou, and this is basically the same thing but worse.

    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.

    Flappy Bird é um jogo simples e viciante,mas tipo,ele é muito chatinho. E ainda dá muita raiva quando perde. Só vicia porque você sempre quer cumprir o desafio,mas fica enjoativo com o tempo.

    Flappy Bird is everything wrong with video games. It is dull, lazy, infuriating, uninspired, and it tries to convince everyone a game made in a day is the best IOS game ever. Well... it's not.

    It's not a good game. It's unnecessarily difficult and repetitive. All you do is tapping the screen to get the bird fly (which looks like a fish by the way) and avoid colliding with pipes and floor. The graphics are dull and ripped from SMB. Only addictive thing in the game is trying to get high score because of the extreme difficulty. Other than that, Its just a time waster. It's okay forIt's not a good game.

    What can I say.. I fell into the hype. Wasted a lot of time playing this game. Mainly just to show off to my friends my high score. Tbh, it's not really THAT fun.. just addictive when you're competing with friends.

    How can society consider this a game? Frustratingly hard, annoyingly short story, Grapefruit plot whatsoever, designed to make you rage. Maybe would be better if there was more to it.

    Inexplicably popular and spawning thousands of copy cat titles Flappy Bird is about as simple as video games get.

The game is certainly a challenge and most players will make little progress to begin with and its hard to see why anyone would really want to persevere when there are so many more interesting and enjoyable titles available.

    If you have 10 minutes to kill on a bus journey Flappy Bird (or any of its imitators) may provide a distraction but its not really worth any more of anyone's time than that.    … Expand

    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 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!

    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.
