Comment on The simple genius of Flappy Birdparent

Comments

Helicopter from Ebaumsworld "copied" it too. There are approximately millions copies of 2D-something-flies-and-avoids-obstacles games. First one was created approximately 20 years ago or sooner.

Almost all of them are boring and few of them are able to keep players interested for more then 10 seconds.

Transforming simple idea almost everybody else had into something that keeps players engaged counts as achievement too.

Given madness it caused in minds of some people, I'm fine with calling it simple evil genius.
