After the "Flappy Bird" shelves, the cottage version of the rapid red

Yesterday, Dong Nguyen, developer of "Flappy Bird," took this simple but all the rage mobile game off the App Store and Google Play, but that did not stop people from exploring how it's going to be successful - Because of the success came so suddenly, let Nguyen A Dong for a moment at a loss. After experiencing this turmoil, "Flappy Bird" got more attention, and in many places came out, eBay began auctioning the phone pre-installed the game, the highest auction price has risen to 99,999 US dollars (I can not believe these are Is a serious one), and Nintendo also issued a statement dismissing the rumor that they were the culprit behind the "Flappy Bird" de-listing. Admittedly, Nguyen A Dong did draw on some of Nintendo's "Super Mario" games.

However, the disappearance of the official version of "Flappy Bird" has led to many cottage releases, which are now at the top of the App Store and Google Play Games download charts.

In the iTunes Store, similar "Flappy Bird" games such as "Fly Birdie", "Ironpants", "Flappy Bee" and "Flappy Plane" now rank first, second, fifth and 20th places respectively. They are just some of the most recent examples of Flappy Bird games. A search for the keyword "Flappy" in the App Store shows 81 developers who are taking full advantage of mobile users' fanatics about Flappy Bird. These include "Flappy Bird" imitators like "Flappy Penguin," while others are just "flappy" keywords but not "Flappy Bird," such as several camera apps.

As with Flappy Bird, the cottage version of the chart shows equally rapid growth but this trend of growth is not driven by paid downloads but from "the continuation of" Flappy Bird's 2014 fiasco "viral marketing Sex. In the meantime, "Ironpants" has climbed to No. 11 in the Google Play Store, while Clumsy Bird finished 19th.

The question now is, how long will the user's passion for "Flappy Bird" last? Does "Flappy Bird" pop in the App Store indicate that users are re-interested in mobile games that are simple and easy to pass the game? Of course, over time The question will be answered, but it is worth noting that "Flappy Bird" itself may have drawn a previously unmet need for groups: children with smartphones.

Nguyen A Assong told us in an interview that although he was not sure how popular "Flappy Bird" was, it was very popular among children: "Most users of the" Flappy Bird "game are children in school. "

Kids now using smartphones are getting younger and younger, and they can share their parents' data plans, and as prices for those packages drop, Flappy Bird may be the first app to really go to school. Will "Flappy Bird" "pop up on all campuses" in the future? Will "be able to spread among college students?" For these questions, I think we will find the answer soon.
