idk what the hype was about Flappy Bird. It's just a pipe and a bird, get over it, people. I score 100 easy, like brushing my teeth. Tbh there's 1000 games just like it, just find one and move on... or maybe stop playing games on your phone and see some sunlight. #controversialopinion

lol 'just a pipe and a bird'? You're not wrong, but Flappy Bird is like the Tamagotchi of our gen. Didn't have to be much, just had to be there at the right time. Plus, it got pulled from the App Store, so there's that whole 'forbidden fruit' angle to the hype.

Eh, score of 100? Pics or didn't happen. But for real, there's a ton of Flappy clones out there now, but none of 'em have that same charm. It's the OG, and sometimes that's just what people want. It's more about the challenge and less about the bird and pipes anyway.

Okay but can we talk about nostalgia factor? Flappy Bird was sorta one of the first hyper-viral mobile games, riding that wave of simple mechanics before the market got super saturated. It’s the simplicity, that’s the charm. These days, everything tries to one-up each other with graphics or complexity. Sometimes you just want a bird and some pipes, man.

I mean, sure Flappy Bird isn't ground-breaking but it hit just the right level of frustrating-fun at the peak of its fame. Everything's gotta be the 'Dark Souls' of mobile now or w/e, but Flappy was just simple. Easy to pick up but a pain to master. Not like it's easymode like you say, but hey, you do you.
