Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is an iconic side-scrolling game where you click to avoid obstacles. It was originally released as a mobile game but discontinued by its developer, Dong Nyugen. Today, you can play this simple yet addictive one-button game online.
Flappy Bird is a classic retro challenge. Initially, it may seem too difficult to be enjoyable as you face repeated failures. However, with persistent attempts, gradual progress is achieved. What we appreciate about the game is its ability to instill resilience and the motivation to persevere through seemingly impossible tasks. We now engage in friendly competition, taking turns to see who can achieve the highest score.
