Comebacks are always special, it is the instinct to come back to the place where we belong is the driving force to move forward and grow. Flappy Bird once ruled the entire gaming environment and the sky was the limit for it.
The year 2014 was one of the most bizarre ones for Flappy Bird, the game has disappeared since it gained too much attention with an exceeded user count of 50 million.
The game was in the top charts across 100 countries. The gaming community had a rumor spreading that the game created a market revenue of $50,000 from the in-game advertisements in a single day.
The impact Flappy Bird made was insane and we don’t need any other proof apart from these numbers and data which it had pulled off. The game was suddenly removed from the user’s life and they went crazy about the eradication of it. After a long interval of ten years, the tycoon is on the verge of becoming the best again in the gaming world.
There is no doubt about the audience reception of the game and will give a warm welcome to its comeback. But this time, the emergence of Flappy Bird is with the association of telegram and blockchain systems. Flappy Bird is coming in the form of a crypto-fueled web3 mini app.
Flappy Bird on Telegram; Same but Different!
After 10 years apart, Flappy Bird has undergone some changes but the gameplay and user experience are still the same, users around the globe can’t even distinguish the difference in the gameplay even after these 10 long years. The project is still in the beta version and at the developing stage, but it maintained the expected quality even in the beta version as well.
The technical association with blockchain technology has made some changes to the game. Users can now earn in-game points and may actively participate in the cryptography-associated elements. Now users can earn in-game points via various methods like inviting friends and watching ads etc.
Flappy Bird was one of the most downloaded games in the world and millions of people were addicted to that game. Despite the popularity and increased demand, its developer Dong Nguyen removed the game from the Play Store and App Store in 2014, stating that, the game was too much for him and made him guilty that the game was an ‘addictive product’ and it slowly became a problem, he told that he deleted the game to solve the issue.
Dong Nguyen came forward and announced that he has no relationship with the revived version of Flappy Bird and he didn’t sell anything and doesn’t support crypto.
According to the latest information available from the X post, the Flappy Bird game will have web3 features but they will not likely release the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). Flappy Bird has announced that no web3 wallet connection is required to play and the game will never have NFTs through their official X post on September 24.
Gameplay
The gameplay of the Flappy Bird Game is the players can control an animated bird by tapping the screen, the aim is to avoid the obstacles that come along the way.
The obstacles may appear in the form of pipes with small openings between them, the bird needs to travel forward without hitting the pipes, and the game will be over whenever the journey gets obstructed by the pipes.
The points will be distributed according to the distance covered by the bird. The more you travel forward without hitting the obstacles, the more points you get.
In the 2014 version, the bird could travel as much distance as it wanted, but in the latest version after the first 50 pipes are cleared, you are taken back to the starting point, the game is still in the beta version, and a lot of improvements will come as the development of it progresses.
Conclusion
Flappy Bird, which was a global sensation when it was introduced, the second coming will never be a flop, the game has already got a warm welcome in the gaming community.
