A group calling itself The Flappy Bird Foundation said they were going to “re-hatch the official Flappy Bird® game” ten years after the hugely famous game Flappy Bird went away.
Dong Nguyen, who made the game, left a short comment this morning saying that he has nothing to do with the revival and that he “did not sell anything.” He also said, “I’m against crypto.”
To be clear, Nguyen’s comments don’t really go against what the foundation said in its announcement. The foundation called the group a “new team of passionate fans committed to sharing the game with the world” and said it had “acquired the rights from Gametech Holdings, LLC.” It looks like Gametech was able to get Nguyen’s Flappy Bird brand taken away a few years ago.
The post, on the other hand, makes it clear that Nguyen is not working on the new project and doesn’t seem too happy about it either.
Regarding Nguyen’s comment about crypto, the Flappy Bird Foundation’s official press materials don’t say anything about it. However, researcher Varun Biniwale found a reference to Flappy Bird flying “higher than ever on Solana as it soars into Web 3.0,” though it’s not clear if that means new features or plans that were shelved.

Flappy Bird, a simple side-scrolling game with old-school images, came out in 2013 and quickly became a viral hit. It is now the most downloaded app on both iOS and Android. While Nguyen said, “I cannot take this anymore,” he took down the app in February 2014.
