Flappy bird no longer

remove the Flappy Bird game from the store

Flying Cyrus,” a knockoff of Dong Nguyen’s ultra-successful mobile app “Flappy Bird,” is currently the most downloaded game in the iPhone Apple Store. The game operates with the same mechanics and basic principles – except Nguyen’s “Flappy Bird” has been replaced with a version of tongue-wagging pop sensation Miley Cyrus. Instead of dodging green pipes, Cyrus is dodging wrecking balls. User reviews claim the title is just as frustrating. We also spent a few minutes playing "Flying Cyrus," and we can assure you - the game is extremely similar.

"Flappy Bird was meant to be played in a few minutes and relax, but it has become a product that is addictive. I think it's a problem, and the best solution for me is to remove the game from the store. It's gone forever. "

The original “Flappy Bird” was published by Vietnam-based Gears Studio last May. At one point, the title was being downloaded 2 million to 3 million times per day and pulling in $50,000 in ad revenue daily in Google Play and Apple iOS stores. It topped the free category of downloadable games in the American and Chinese iTunes App Store at the end of January 2014.
