Even when games had ads most of them didn't have any charges except a $0.99 charge for no ads. The whole "pay for lives" model was brand new at that time.

Honestly props to the OG Flappy Bird dev for not taking advantage of people, but to be honest, I don't think he needed to remove it when he did.

You collect dragons by hatching them from eggs, each having a special skill that helps you collect currency, find powerups more often, and you can even destroy towers which is super fun.

    I remember for like 2-3 years after it was taken off the App Store I could still look at my download history (on google play) and still install it. People went nuts when they say I had a newer Samsung with OG Flappy bird in 2016-17

    Hearing the inspirational music then seeing it cut to charlie talking about flappy bird leaving a mark on people gave me inspirational interview vibes 😂

    I'm glad that Xanje has a Flappy Bird clone on it so I can just play Clumsy Pet instead of this.
