> There's a claim (according to wikipedia and other sources) that Flappy Bird was a clone of another game (called "Piou Piou vs Cactus").
Haven't read the Wiki page, or heard of Piou Piou, but I always thought FB was a rip off of Copter, a game for Nokia style phones where you pressed 5 (IIRC) to keep it airborne.
Maybe "original" Flappy was great and I just played crappy Flappy clones, but dying literally within seconds over and over again didn't make me want to continue, I was just instantly bored, stopped playing and forgot it. I don't understand the craze for such a horrible game.

Copter was good though.
