On February 9th, at 2:02 a.m. Hanoi time, a message appeared on Nguyen's Twitter account. "I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users," it read. "22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore." The message was retweeted more than 145,000 times by the disbelieving masses. How could someone who hit the online jackpot suddenly pull the plug? But when the clock struck midnight the next evening, the story came to an end. Nguyen, as promised, took Flappy Bird offline. In his wake, he left millions of jilted gamers, and one big question: Who was this dude, and WTF had he done?
What do you do if you missed out on Flappy Bird or you happened to delete it and cannot get it back? No worries, feel free to download it from this site. Click on the link to the right and it will take you to a page with instructions on how to get the app on your iPhone (sorry Andriod users, I do not have that version).
Enjoy!
