For the lucky few that have not yet downloaded and played this tragic game, I will explain. Flappy Bird is simple. There is a bird that “flies” (well, more like hops) through green obstacles that look like the pipes in Super Mario Bros. The player taps their screen and the bird flies higher. If you hit something, you lose. Pretty simple, right?

NO! There is a huge learning curve in this game. Getting used to the height of the bird's flight as well as the distance of each tap would take the bird proves to be more challenging than it seems.

The first ten times I played, my high score was 1. And, not to be cocky, but I am pretty good at these iPhone games. It took me a long time to get my scores up slowly moving from 4 to 7 to my current high score, 14. Yeah, I know. It’s not that impressive. I have a friend who scored 127, and he definitely got some hate for it on Facebook. One of his friends said, “Get a life.” But then he replied, “I have one…in Flappy Bird.”

The game is fun, don't get me wrong, but it is also infuriating; I’ve heard some people say "satanic". (Obviously joking and bitter from their low scores.) Regardless, since Flappy Bird went viral, there’s already a huge flux of reactions to the game.

Some people have created animations for the game…

Warning: It gets a tad bit graphic towards the end.
