(ORDO NEWS) — Flappy Bird is a new popular game for mobile devices.
The goal of this game is to tap on the screen of a smartphone or tablet so that the bird, which is very similar to the fish from Super Mario Bros, does not collide with huge green pipes.
Available for Android, iOS, and later Windows Phones, Flappy Bird makes about $50,000 a day, and because it hasn’t had a problem with Nintendo yet, it’s one of the most successful mobile games of the moment.
If you’re wondering what makes people play Flappy Bird even though it’s so easy, here’s a list of 5 reasons.
Easy to play but hard to win
Flappy Bird makes very good use of the concept of a smartphone that actually has only one control: the screen.
To play it, all you have to do is press one button and therefore anyone can grasp the concept very quickly.
Even though it’s so easy to play, the green pipes are huge, making Flappy Bird very hard to beat. This duality between incredibly simple and terribly complex seems to delight the public.
Instant restart
When you lose, the game instantly gives you another chance, and not taking advantage of it is more difficult than picking up and playing again.
It’s a bit like having a snack or playing a Candy Crush level multiple times: no one else gets hurt.
The game is completely free
Unlike many games that can start for free and then charge you to play further or repeat the experience/level, Flappy Bird is completely free and although it has ads, you don’t have to pay a dime to play it .
The less you care about the result, the better you play
Flappy Bird doesn’t follow the sequence of regular or traditional games, and it even feels like luck at times.
The score varies greatly and does not necessarily improve with each game, but fluctuates between very high and very low scores.
This makes players feel like it’s not their fault if they lose and treat the game more easily and simply as a way to pass the time and have fun.
Arcade concept in smartphone
Flappy Bird can be played on smartphones, but the concept is completely similar to arcade games, which means that it speaks to past generations, offering an experience similar to that of the eighties.
At the same time, the game gives new generations the opportunity to experiment with a game mode that almost disappeared before the advent of the smartphone.
