Flappy Bird Will Fly Again, But Not Soon

Dong Nguyen, the creator of Flappy Bird, has announced that he will put the game back on the App Store, but not soon.

The news comes via an exchange on Twitter.

@painfullpacman: Are u going to put flappy bird back on App Store?


@painfullpacman Yes. But not soon.

On February 9th, Nguyen tweeted, "I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users," it read. "22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore."

As promised, the game was removed hours later. Almost immediately, game developers rushed to fill the void with similar games such as Flappy Flyer, Flappy Wings, and others flooding the App Store.

Nguyen revealed that the took down the game because the attention became too much to handle. Paparazzi besieged his parents' house. He couldn't go anywhere without been spotted. "It is something I never want," he tweeted. "Please give me peace."


However, in his recent Rolling Stone profile, Nguyen revealed that the return of Flappy Bird might be possible. He said "I'm considering it" and noted that the game would come with a "warning" to "please take a break".
