Flappy Bird

MOST FRUSTRATING GAME EVER! 

    Every now and again there is a new game that captures the hearts and minds of all who play them.  Flappy Birds, although popular, is NOT that game.  Flappy Birds is perhaps the hardest app game I've ever played.  

    I ,by no stretch of the imagination, am a gamer.  I mainly use my phone for social media and other popular apps.  Not games.  However my curiosity got the best of me when all of my friends started to talk about "Flappy Bird".  I thought nothing of it at first, but then before I knew it, EVERYONE was talking about this dumb game!  

   As someone who prides themselves on never playing Candy Crush (because who wants that addiction), I gave in and downloaded the highly stressed out flappy bird.  Soon after playing for 5 minutes, I realized I had been trying to play this game for an hour!  It is SO hard! 

    Flappy Bird is not a game of strategy, nor is it a game with levels.  It was specifically created to look like an old-fashion arcade game that could be played multiple times and ultimately become addicting.  I personally really like the simplicity of it.  Simple task, simple graphics, simple format. Sounds easy right?  Wrong. 

   Never have I gotten so frustrated with a game in my life! While some of my friends have high scores like 47, and 64,  I have a whopping high score of 13.  I think the addicting part isn't the game itself, it's personal competition with yourself.  I feel like I have to keep trying to better my score!  The fact that this game has stirred so much dialogue at my high school is impressive.  You can't get through a class period without someone asking you your Flappy Birds score.

  What I have loved more than the wide-spread frenzy of this game, is the content created around the game being frustrating.  Youtubers have made hilarious videos of themselves trying to play.  Not only videos but now there are Flappy Bird Memes that appear on every social media. 

  If you haven't downloaded Flappy Bird..... I don't know if you should... part of me wants to tell you to do it.... but the other part of me wants to save you from the agony that is this game. The choice is yours.... only you can decide.
