The pixel art and simplistic animations that Flappy Bird used to attract players were another reason for its minimalist design and the nostalgic vibe it exuded. Dong Nguyen, the game's inventor, took Flappy Bird down from app stores in 2014 after he admitted the game was harmful to his life due to its addictive nature. The popularity and legacy of the game, though, inspired a plethora of sequels and clones made by different studios.

Despite its difficult and annoying gameplay, Flappy Bird is frequently regarded as a cultural phenomenon that attracts millions of players worldwide. An important and unforgettable chapter in mobile gaming's history, it has also prompted conversations about game design, addiction, and the effects of games on players' mental health.
