The infamous fame of the author of Flappy Bird continues to grow. The release of the new Swing Copters game provoked a conflict: the developers of the Bog Racer application accuse Dong Nguyen of plagiarism.

The creative director of A-Steroids Ilya Eremeev said App2Top.ru about eight reasons for the popularity of minimalistic games, like the “live classics” Flappy Bird and the most recent Amazing Brick.

As soon as Dong Nguyen announced that he intended to return Flappy Bird to the App Store, the American company Ultimate Arcade Inc. announced: she will do everything to prevent the game from returning to the store.

On the pages of the March issue of Rolling Stone appeared the story of the creation of one of the main phenomena of the mobile games market this year – the game Flappy Bird. 

The main game of January-February was Flappy Bird. Everyone is discussing it. Some try to explain the success, others try to repeat it. But now, after deleting the application, it’s time to take stock. Forbes journalist Lan An Nguyen did it best. 

A simple game about a yellow bird occupied the download charts in the leading Western markets. Behind her, the first places in the American, British, Canadian App Store and Google Play. But how much is it in dollars?
