No, it's not a fake of Angry Birds. If you do not know yet simple arcade Flappy Bird, then you may want at least to know what you're missing, because the game's creator, Dong Nguyen decided that he is tired of popularity of the game.
The idea is really trivial and has been used in countless skill games, but mostly as one of the elements, and not as a guiding principle. An awkwardly flying bird is trying to fit between the densely set pipes similar to those from Mario Bros. The vertical movement is controlled by knocking on the display.
I do not quite understand the mess, which was created around the game - perhaps because I'm not sucked in and quickly removed it some time ago, but the number of downloads reaching into the millions in both the Apple store and Google was indeed impressive, as for an independent production. Vietnamese Dong Nguyen, the developer of the game, supposedly earned through advertising $ 50,000 a day.

During the weekend, the developer decided to remove the game from the mobile stores and informed about it on his twitter account. Nobody knows exactly what's going on - whether the success was too great or maybe Nintendo put forward claims regarding sewer pipes. I mentioned that they are confusingly similar to those from the Mario Bros.? The author explains that the decision is purely personal and not backing behind any legal troubles.
At the moment the Flappy Bird game is no longer available in stores, but on the network you can of course find the apk files, and Nguyen rather not cease to create new productions.
