Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen created Flappy Bird, a smartphone game that was released in 2013. It instantly grew popular because to its dependent gameplay and simple physics, but it also sparked debate and attention because of its complexity and annoyance a component.

In Flappy Bird, players control a little bird as it gets a series of pipes with holes. The goal is to pass through the gaps without striking the pipes or the ground, which takes precise timing and coordination. Each successful pass through a gap earns one point, and the goal is to get the greatest possible score.

One of Flappy Bird's unique advantages is its high level of difficulty. The game is notorious for its difficult gameplay, with players frequently trying to keep the bird flying and avoiding obstacles. As a result, many players became addicted to the game, trying to overcome their own or others' high scores and posting their exploits on social media.
