Original Flappy Bird developer not involved with apparent return

Flappy Bird Makes a Comeback on Telegram

Flappy Bird has made its return, now playable on Telegram, bringing back memories of the viral game from 10 years ago. However, the reception for this comeback may not be as enthusiastic as expected.

Confusion Surrounding Flappy Bird Foundation

After a long absence from the scene, the creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, resurfaced with a message that left fans puzzled. It seems that Nguyen had not been active on X for the past seven years, leading to speculation about the sudden return of the game.

Uncertainty About Crypto Involvement

The Flappy Bird Foundation, the new team behind the game, has been ambiguous regarding its involvement with cryptocurrency. While hints about crypto integration were present in social media posts and news releases, specific details were lacking. The game is exclusively available on Telegram, with any mention of cryptocurrency removed from official channels. Despite this, players can access Flappy Bird on the messaging app and participate in crypto-related activities within the game.

TON Blockchain and Flap-a-TON Event

The version of Flappy Bird on Telegram operates on the TON blockchain, offering players the option to connect their crypto wallets for in-game activities. The Flappy Bird Foundation has launched a “Flap-a-TON” event to incentivize players with rewards and introduce a new game mode called Flappy Bird Rivals. This mode enables multiple players to compete simultaneously, adding a social element to the gameplay experience. Players can earn points by tapping and watching ads, with the potential for further rewards.

Future of Flappy Bird

While Flappy Bird is currently exclusive to Telegram, there are no concrete plans for a wider release on other platforms. The game is still in the pre-launch phase on Telegram, with the “Flap-a-TON” event serving as a teaser for what’s to come.
