A decade after the wildly widespread recreation Flappy Chook disappeared, a corporation calling itself The Flappy Chook Basis introduced plans to “re-hatch the official Flappy Chook® recreation.”
However this morning, the sport’s creator Dong Nguyen posted a characteristically terse remark stating that he has nothing to do with the revival, and that he “didn’t promote something.” He added, “I additionally don’t assist crypto.”
To be clear, Nguyen’s feedback don’t precisely contradict something within the basis’s announcement, which described the group as a “new group of passionate followers dedicated to sharing the sport with the world,” and stated it had “acquired the rights from Gametech Holdings, LLC.” (Apparently Gametech efficiently filed to terminate Nguyen’s Flappy Chook trademark a pair years in the past.)
However the put up makes it clear that Nguyen shouldn’t be concerned with the brand new challenge, and that he doesn’t appear significantly pleased about it.
As for Nguyen’s reference to crypto, whereas the muse’s present PR supplies don’t point out something crypto-related, Varun Biniwale did some digging round hidden pages on the Flappy Chook Basis web site and located a reference to Flappy Chook flying “greater than ever on Solana because it soars into Net 3.0,” although it’s not clear whether or not that refers to approaching options or deserted plans.
Flappy Chook — a comparatively easy side-scrolling recreation with retro graphics — was first launched in 2013, ultimately turning into a viral hit and turning into the most-downloaded app on each the iOS and Android app shops. Nonetheless, Nguyen took the app down in February 2014, declaring, “I can not take this anymore.”
