disappointed by the removal and have been looking out for other platforms

where they can play their beloved game. While there are a number of duplicate

games that have come up, fans still want the original. Also, there exist a number

of new users who want to see what the hype about the game was all about.

pressure, the game’s developer has released a statement which assures users

that the game will be available in the future. However, with fans getting

impatient, the game has met with resurgence through the internet. There are

places on the internet where users can play the original Flappy Bird online

completely free of cost.

Flappy Bird had been taken down by its developer on the grounds of a guilty

conscience. The developer publicly stated that he felt immensely guilty at

having created a game which caused so much addiction. He has faced a lot of

criticism and hate since and has been pressurized into stating that the game will

have a future release albeit in a less addictive format. While these statements

seem somewhat genuine, some rumors have it that the game faced legal and

copyright issues and needed to be taken down. Whatever the case may be,

fans are extremely disappointed and miss the addictive game. To exploit this,

many clones of the popular game have come up and some people have even

tried selling off their phones which have the game previously installed. However,

people need not spend their cash to experience the much hyped game. Today,

there are a number of websites which allow users to experience all the fun and

thrill provided by the original version of Flappy Bird online completely free.
