Flappy Bird was one of the games that sunk global productivity more than a decade ago, prompting its original creator, Dong Nguyen, to delist it over concerns about its addictive effects. That didn't stop countless clones from popping up on every digital storefront, though basically all of them failed to reach Flappy Bird's cloudy heights.

Remember Flappy Bird? You know, that mobile game that became an overnight sensation for its simple-yet-frustrating setup, and disappeared almost as quickly? I was never a fan, but I found myself fascinated by the original creator’s apparent lack of concern over a potentially lucrative game.

Flappy Bird is coming back to the App Store after 10 years away. A team of fans has secured the original game rights and plans a relaunch.

The new owners of mobile game revival Flappy Bird have released a statement to "clear the air" on their intentions, but are yet to acknowledge claims it's based on cryptocurrency. If you missed it, last week the Flappy Bird Foundation announced the game's return as it had newly acquired the official rights.
