From what rumors I have have heard the most intriguing one I heard is that he couldn't control the game which is why he removed it.

He was making over 50,000 (I don't know which currency) a day from adds.

Making that much money a day spontaneously in Vietnam is dangerous. He took it down in fear, also embarrassment(didn't want his name in the gaming industry to be only associated with the POS known as flappy bird).

If you want to still play the game, just don't delete it from your phone.

config wrote Can I just go on to AppCake or vShare and download it from there? Pretty sure it'll still work.

I've heard a few different reasons why he took it down. The one that I believe with some actual proof is that it is because he supposedly had bots download the game to boost the download rate in order to make it more noticeable. Then the press found out about him supposedly doing this and he couldn't take it. He release the app in May of last year and it didn't become popular until November.

Edit- Here is my source: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

However the app has also received criticism for its unprecedented popularity. Despite being released in May 2013, the app did not start receiving high download volumes until December last year. Speculation is rife that bots have been deployed to download the app thousands of times and falsely propel the game up the download charts.

When contacted by The Telegraph Mr Nguyen refused to deny the claims, saying "I respect all other people opinions. I won't give any comment to this article. I'd like to make my games in peace." [sic].

Earlier this month, the creator spoke out against the unwelcome press attention garnered by his game's success. He said: "Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace" [sic].
