It’s definitely not overt racism. But it’s hard to not say that Kotaku and a sizable portion of the naysayers didn’t pre-judge the game based on the developer’s nationality. If you’re prejudiced against a game based on where the creator is from…that at least resembles racism.
Flappy Bird is a fluke 99% of the games on the App Store are complete crap that don’t go anywhere unlike quality games such as Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride, dominate the top and take off. Whether you like the mobile gaming genre or not is irrelevant these games have polish unlike Flappy Bird.
Also check out the recently released game Threes! now this is what mobile gaming should have became.
so theirs gonna be flappy bird money matches at evo right?

So the real question out of all this is, when is Kayin going to start developing for mobile platforms?
I know there have to have been dozens of “for 50,000 a day I’d…” comments by now, but I gotta add a couple.
If the story is true the only reason he felt pressure is because of social media. He could’ve gone completely dark. Went and did… something, even if only for 24 hours, and made an extra 50K. Hell for 50K he could’ve payed someone to put him into a medical induced coma for some period of time and came out way ahead.
Dude should have pulled a reverse Chappelle. Dave walked away from a big contract. All this dude had to do was… walk away and keep raking in dough.
Seriously though, he could’ve turned off his twitter and created an anonymous one. He could’ve never heard from anyone again, and made mad bank.
That’s if this is social media related after all. But hey, 50,000 a day, and how long was this game pulling in those numbers? He’ll be able live off that for a long time in Vietnam.
I’ve only just seen more gameplay footage, so he didn’t just rip the green pipe sprites.
I’m not believing his original story, he probably took it down before Nintendo’s lawyers started throwing lawsuits at him. Apple would have been forced to take it down eventually anyway.
Well this muthafucka spawned a spiritual bastard sequel, Swing Copters.
It will in comparison make you exponentially better in Flappy Bird by far thanks to its bullshit. Highest I fucking got after an hour:

Best way to play this is pretend this is like manipulating non-Frog Suit Mario in the water against whirlpool bubbles, shoddy programming and death everywhere
High score is like 21 :mad:
There’s also Lumberman, which is pissing me off and keeping me playing at the same time.
