Flappy Bird has become a viral sensation in current week, with the game become the number one free app on the iOS App Store in many countries, followed by comparable success on Android's Google Play store. Nguyen had also indicated a Windows Phone version of Flappy Bird was on the way.

Flappy Bird's principle is simple, the player has to find the way for the bird through a sequence of gaps between vertical pipe-shaped obstacles (that appeared same as of Nintendo's Mario in terms of artwork ), rising up and down by tapping the screen to flap the bird's wings.

The game's popularity is supposed to be related to its difficulty, with players challenged to set a high score on a worldwide leaderboard. There are no lives, or in-app purchases in Flappy Bird, and players get a single point for each pair of pipes they fly through, and medals after every ten points all the way up to platinum.

Flappy Bird guide blossomed around the Web and app stores to help frustrated players, who criticize of not being able to stop playing, repeatedly wanting to set a new high score. Users sharing screenshots of their new Flappy Bird high score on Facebook and Twitter became a common sight.

At the similar time, many questioned the game's success, with players and 'critics' pointing out the rough animation, awful graphics, badly placed banner ads, and buggy edge-detection.

Flappy Bird for iOS and Android is available as of writing this post, but that looks set to change shortly.
