Flappy Bird will soon say goodbye?

Daniel Morial Leave a comment

In a quick turn of events, the ever popular Flappy Bird will soon bid farewell according to its creator, Dong Nguyen.

As what Dong Nguyen tweeted, “I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore.” It was posted earlier this morning at 3:02 AM.

After that tweet, he came with more tweets regarding the reason behind his decision and some short clarifications.

If he will really remove the game by 1 AM (Manila time) from the App Store and Play Store, he might have to let go of his $50,000 daily ad revenue. Well, Flappy Bird is not the only game Dong Nguyen is working on. If you will check his App Store account, there are a couple of other 8-bit games under him.

Also, if this is really happening, Windows Phone users will not get to the chance to play the app on their device, contradicting earlier reports that Nguyen will push the game into that platform.

What do you guys think? Do we need to say goodbye to Flappy Bird soon? Or is it just a marketing gimmick to have more users download and play the game? Share your thoughts below.

Flappy Bird revenues hit $50,000 per day

Flappy Bird is currently the most popular mobile game today. With more than 50 million downloads, you probably have it in your phone too unless you already deleted it due to frustration.

Flappy Bird was developed by a Vietnamese named Dong Nguyen as a part time project only within three days. Now, his game now generates $50,000 per day in ad revenue. That is like hitting the jackpot or as we Filipinos call it “tubong lugaw.”

Dong Nguyen admits he got lucky with the game. He said in an interview with The Verge that, “Flappy Bird has reached a state where anything added to the game will ruin it somehow, so I’d like to leave it as is.” He also added that a sequel might be coming but no definite date yet.

WWF-Philippines’ New Mobile Game to Raise Funds for a Cause

Words by Ethel Merioles

Remember the Tubbataha Reef incident that happened last month? Just a little background on the World Heritage site located in the Sulu Sea, over 1000 animal species inhabit in the reef, including hawksbill sea turtles, giant trevally (jacks), hammerhead sharks, barracudas, manta rays, palm-sized Moorish idols, napoleon wrasse, parrotfish, and moray eels. Whale sharks and tiger sharks have reportedly been seen in the large coral sanctuary, as well.








The Tubbataha Reef is just one of six marine priority conservation areas that WWF-Philippines are helping, and this time, in an effort to raise funds for a cause, the independent conservation organization released a cool mobile game in February this year.

As part of WWF-Philippines’ fund raising campaign to save marine animals from pollutants and unsustainable fishing practices, a Filipino app development company known as AppLabs Digital Studios designed and developed a time-pressure puzzle game. The game is primarily meant to provide hours of entertainment to any user and at the same time donate to WWF-Philippines’ marine conservation programs. A dollar can go a long way, especially if it means saving the rich marine biodiversity of the Philippines, including, of course, the world-renowned Tubbataha Reef.



The app, dubbed EnviroPop, is currently available for download at the Apple App Store, and will reach the Android market very soon. Sales from the app will go straight to WWF-Philippines’marine conservation programs to help conserve our biodiversity and mitigate the impact of human footprint on our environment. With this app, people will learn more about our environment and essentially save the Philippine seas!
Interested iOS users may try the app for free (Download link: http://goo.gl/kwUKU) or purchase the full version for $0.99 (http://goo.gl/Qec9I). The Android version is scheduled to be released early this year.
