I have no clue either. I guess some people are afraid of success.Okay, I see your point now. I agree to some extent, but I never really did understand why he quit.
Got a tip for us?

Flappy Bird Clones Make Up One-Third of Newly Released iOS Games

Is there a "Flappy Ass"?
No but there's a "Flappy Cock"! Haha! It's actually on the app store!
And people wonder why I don't bother with 99% of smartphone apps; they're stupid ideas in theory and even worse in practice, made with the least amount of effort and care possible to still be able to rope fools into mindlessly tossing them a quick buck.
Most of the so called articles here are editorials at best.
----------
And Flappy Bird stole artwork from Nintendo. What's your point?
----------
I don't think people care. Money is all they want. No integrity is something they do not care about.
----------
Not MacRumours fault for not being first to articles. But it is their fault if they just edit other sites articles very slightly and post them here as newly written news.
Ripping off other sites articles is like Sammy ripping off the iPhone or Flappy Bird ripping off Nintendo. The only common point with them all is they know they are ripping another off and simply don't care that they are. They all only care for the money/popularity.
Go do an Apple. Take the same thing, innovate it, make it the best, implement features in the best way, so we all want to read the articles. So we know it's the best place to read Apple (and many other) rumours.
Ehh...
This so called "game" , this Flappy Bird thing, is on par with the reality shows on TV. Its main purpose is stupidifying gamers, it has neither playing value nor reward. Hence the clones.

If anyone out there doesn't understand that a key component of success is simple dumb luck, this is exhibit A. Crappy Bird wasn't even that good of a game and that clones of it could be released so quickly speaks volumes.
Arn's point was that because Flappy Bird was not a 100% copy of nintendo (they have decided to not sue) Dong Nguyen is not unscrupulous, whereas it was proven that Flappy Bee's icon was 100% ripped off another app, therefore its developer is unscrupulous.
----------
Just because it is cloned easily doesn't mean it's useless, see iPhone design.
What's the point of cloning a game if there are already over 100 other clones on the AppStore??
Even the best flappy-clone in the world would fail in sales because of the flooded market.

Don't Get It
Haven't played the game, but based on the screenshots it looks like a rip off of Mario. I'm doing a game called Flappy Penis.

Why is this game popular? It's such a simple game. I've played a similar one before iOS existed on flash websites. It's not even that fun
This may help. ^_^

Nintendo chose not to sue as Nintendo are not on the iPad and simply don't care about it. Nothing to do whether the game was a partial copy or not. If you copy elements from a game you are copying.
Lol, most of the flappy bird clones are really bad quality, i dont know why people download them - since i cant get flappy bird anymore i just play this one "tap tap duck - a flappy duck adventure"

Well if you do make such a tutorial, let me know I'll buy one (or some)
Anything I can use for teaching would be great!I don't think cloning is an issue as we all know that many games are just clones of another. But the problem with all these flappy clones is that none of them are well thought out or there was no effort in the graphics department. People are just spewing out hacks as I have yet to see a decent looking one.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed...
Played various types of games for 16 hours+ straight in high school.
Try to get back into new gaming?...failed.
Try to get back into older gaming?...nope, try again.
In-browser flash/iOS games? 30 mins at most before I get bored, rarely interested anyways.
Try to get off the internet to do something actually productive? Now that's impossible...
Yeah this describes my progression almost perfectly as well. Now I'm trying to get into more art-related stuff like reading, film, and drawing.
I'm terrible at drawing for some reason, but I love reading.
I guess Apple still gets my money this way.
Assuming that Dong is unscrupulous, so what? Just because Dong is unscrupulous doesn't mean Arn can't call the Flappy Bee guy out for being unscrupulous and stealing artwork.
Hey guys, I made this app the idea is to flop the pipe instead of bird, so basically not a Flappy Bird clone. The app name is FLOPPY PIPE. Currently available in iOS and Android phones.
