You can see it everywhere. People bent over their phones, madly tapping on the screen. They are playing a popular computer game. Until recently, “Flappy bird” was the game everyone wanted, but now it is not available any more. What happened, and will it come back?
Since the game “Flappy bird” started, the man who invented it has become very rich. Yet, on the 8th of Febuary 2014 the company who owned it, Dotgames, decided it was too much of a struggle for them to continue. They didn’t want the fame, they didn’t want the fortune. Many copies of the game had started competing with the original one, like “Tappy bird”. But maybe Dotgames will bring it back, since it was hugely popular – if it is not too late. New games come out all the time. So we decided to ask pupils at Barnes Primary School what they thought:
A girl who wished to be anonymous said she had played Flappy Bird and liked it but found it a bit annoying. She said that she didn’t like the copies as much as the original. In conclusion, she wants Flappy Bird back!
A boy called Anton said that it was very annoying (because he always loses…) and made him quite angry.
