Ten years on from the global phenomenon that was Flappy Chicken, The Flappy Chicken Foundation is reviving the iconic game with an official remake.
Although the game’s creator, Dong Nguyen, initially expressed disinterest in the revival, stating he “didn’t promote” it, he also clarified his stance on cryptocurrency, emphasizing his lack of support for it.
To dispel any confusion, Nguyen’s comments do not directly contradict specific aspects of the foundation’s statement, which presents itself as “a new staff of passionate followers dedicated to sharing the sport with the world,” and having acquired the rights from Gametech Holdings, LLC – a move that follows the company’s registration of the Flappy Chicken trademark approximately two years prior.
Despite the submission’s claims, Nguyen’s tone conveys a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the new venture, suggesting he may not be particularly thrilled about it.
As for Nguyen’s reference to crypto, whereas the inspiration’s present PR supplies don’t point out something crypto-related, Varun Biniwale did some digging and found a reference to Flappy Chicken flying “greater than ever on Solana because it soars into Internet 3.0,” although it’s unclear whether that refers to imminent options or deserted plans.
Flappy Chicken, a relatively straightforward side-scroller featuring retro aesthetics, debuted in 2013 and subsequently became a viral sensation, topping the download charts on both the iOS and Android app stores as the most-downloaded app. Despite this, in February 2014, he exclaimed, “I can no longer tolerate this.”
