Flappy Bird: Simple yet Challenging

By Bryan Rilloraza February 5, 2014

This game has got to be one of the more frustrating games I’ve played.

Flappy Bird is a simple game where you control a bird by tapping the screen to make it flap its wings (hence the name). The goal of this side scrolling challenge is to go over as many pipes as you can to earn medals. Although incredibly simple, the game is not as easy as it looks. Its quite challenging to pass in between the pipes without hitting it. After a few tries, I only managed to pass 14 pipes so far.

Though maddeningly frustrating, this casual game is quite addictive after a few runs. I’m guessing this game will be popular in the one place where high scores and new records are made — the toilet.
