The creator of the original Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, has said a new ‘less addictive’ version of the game will be coming back before the end of the year.
Fans of the highly addictive and highly frustrating mobile game Flappy Bird, will be glad to hear that it’s coming back to an app store near you soon and the new version will apparently be a multiplayer that is “less addictive” than it’s predecessor, according to Nguyen.
The news comes after the Vietnamese indie game developer told his
Twitter followers back in March that the game wasn’t going to be coming back
anytime soon.
Speaking to
CNBC over in the States, Nguyen said that the original version had been downloaded a whopping 50 million times. The game was so popular that some people even tried selling their smart phones with the game pre-installed for ridiculous amounts of money. One iPhone 5 owner was selling the device, which had Flappy Bird installed,
for €45,000.
Thankfully, the new version of the game won’t cost anywhere near that much when it’s ready, which Nguyen says will be sometime in August.
