Flappy Bird and a Serious Amount of Anger
It's official: the viral app is now out of the Google Play and Apple's App Store. For the less attentive to these matters, Flappy Bird is a videogame that was running rampant on smartphones and tablets. The premise of the game? Well, nothing. You control a (flappy) bird by tapping on the screen in order to avoid Super Mario looking pipes and if you can't, it's game over for you. Each set of pipes you avoid getting hit by is worth a point. The beauty about this is that it doesn't have any of the usual evil methods used by these games in order to stay addictive. You don't have to wait for anything, buy anything, learn or achieve anything other than the sheer simplistic gameplay and reaching the highest high score possible. According to very serious reports, this game is highly addictive and it will put you under high amounts of pressure every time you won't be able to beat your own high score.
