Right now, I'm sure you've heard about Flappy Bird, which is the number one app of its time on App Store in over 100 countries. Flappy Bird's game is mostly talked about in social media and mass media. This game comes from the developers from the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi. A Vietnamese who has shocked the world and defeated great men like Supercell and Rovio alone. And ironically, he did not do it by learning from the big guys. Then, what makes Flappy Bird so popular and attracts a lot of people?

Here are the details of the strategy that made Flappy Bird a success.

1. Very difficult

Of course, the first thing you realize when playing Flappy Bird is how difficult this game is. Some colleagues in Tech In Asia have not even passed the first pole. This game is very difficult to make us frustrated, annoyed, and also feels funny. In this way, Flappy Bird punishes gamers. If you pay little attention to reviews in the App Store, you'll soon see how many people love to hate it. And this is probably the biggest reason for his success. People like to torture themselves, and they are happy to share. The difficulty of this game is engineering to make it viral.

2. Very simple

Flappy Bird is very simple. Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, and other big names of mobile games take a few minutes for gamers to learn how to play it. And every second when you have to teach new users how to play, you lose other users. I can give my iPhone to anyone on the road and they will, in a second, know how to play Flappy Bird. That means anyone can play it and anyone will play it. And somehow this is perfectly balanced with the difficulty of his game. It's easy to learn, but almost impossible to master.

3. Always challenging

Perhaps the worst, and at the same time the best, is how Flappy Bird always makes you feel you can do it better. With Angry Birds, I'm usually satisfied just by getting two stars on a level. I feel "at least I graduate". With Flappy Bird, no satisfaction. This is basically a level. And every point tells you how bad your game is.

4. No in-app purchase

This is probably the most interesting aspect of Flappy Bird. Most of today's most popular apps apply in-app purchases. You open a new app and then have to pay a fee, paywall, advertising, or other in-app purchase that will beautify your character or make the level easier. Flappy Bird does not do all that. Yes, Flappy Bird is full of ads, but ads are positioned as if to hinder your game. This adds to the level of difficulty. In other words, Flappy Bird is completely free. Because users do not want to pay again. They are fed up with it.

5. Just use a few buttons

If you notice, when playing Flappy Bird, there are only three buttons on the screen. Total, for all games, there is Start, Score, Rate, Pause, Tap, Okay, and Share. Just seven buttons. This is Dong Nguyen's dedication to simplicity and also what makes this game viral. In other games, users will be easily overwhelmed by the choice of games on offer. Do you want to take a screenshot? Do you want to share points with your close friends? Do you want to see leaderboards? Do you want to get directions for this level? This game mechanism makes it easy to play again immediately.

6. Depend on gravity

If you have not seen the movie Gravity, you probably do not know what I mean here. You can feel yourself swooping along with Flappy at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared. With Angry Birds, you do not feel the same with the birds, nor the pigs. It's like a little character in Clash of Clans. They're part of your strategy, your tactics, or your game. When Flappy falls, you can hear your thoughts saying "Oh shit. I'm dead again. "

7. Need expertise

Some people can not play Flappy Bird well. After a few tries, they threw their phone into the wall and they gave up. They never crossed the first pole and they're done. The app is then removed. But there are also people who can get 50 or even 60 points in Flappy Bird. This is not a game where you can go through a certain level or get instructions on how to solve the puzzle. This is not a game that produces rewards and happiness like Cut The Rope or Fruit Ninja. This is Flappy Bird. Only really skilled people will get to the top. If you go beyond ten points, it's because you really know how to use your fingers. You know how to anticipate gravity in Flappy's world. With Flappy Bird, you know exactly why you are playing badly. And you also know why you are playing well.

8. Fast game makes you addicted

One of the other really interesting mechanisms from Flappy Bird is that because this game is difficult and you die so easily, it means you will play the same level over and over again. It's like a bad habit you can not avoid. Flappy Bird like dopamine.

Flappy Bird is so simple a mechanical game. But as many frustrated friends play it, it's easier to talk than to do it, and it's more difficult to control the flappy birds you control so as not to hit the pipes while flying. If you still have not given up, and still curious how the game as simple as this can make you think.

This game can indeed be played easily but to get through the hurdles needed some tricks and kefokusan to get the highest score. here are some tricks I can suggest:

Trying to relax during play

Believe me, this game is annoying. If you're looking for a stress relief entertainment, keep the Flappy Bird name on your list. If other games give you the opportunity to just walk and enjoy the graphics, if here even you can fail before going through one pipe. But if you insist on playing it, try to relax, clear your mind from other things that interfere, and do not get easily provoked emotions.

Play Flappy Bird using your tablet

Could be just a feeling of the author only, but play it on the smartphone sailed 4-inch, 5.5-inches and 7-inch tablet, was more comfortable in the tablet and the value we get is also higher. It can happen because the touch field that we get more widely, and the eyes did not work too heavy because it focuses on objects that are small in size. In addition, the small screen sailing gadget is partially covered by the screen of your thumb, especially if your thumb size is large (yes, as we will not suggest you touch the screen using your index finger, ring finger or even a little finger during play).

Make sure your gadget screen remains responsive

Oh yes, we also suggest you set up a screen of gadgets that you use to play. Be sure to remain sensitive and responsive. If not, check if the screen protector is out of date. Or software gadget (usually Android) is problematic, so the screen does not translate the touch of the hand with alacrity. If so, it is advisable to stop and un-install Flappy Bird or find a solution to fix the problem on screen.

Get the timings

Timing is required to pass through the green pipes blocking the road. The problem is, the panty between the pipe is random, sometimes above, middle or below, that's why you need the right timing to raise the flappy once he is on the left and parallel to the bottom surface of the pipe. Just one touch (right, right on the left side of the bottom pipe) can make it through the pipe. But if this bird's leap is less to pass through the pipe, like you touch the screen too soon, then give it a second touch on the screen so that when flappy will touch the bottom surface of the pipe he immediately jumps back and succeed through the pipe. If the gap between the pipe is parallel, does not change its position, then you just keep the rhythm as long as touching the screen, so that flappy still fly in position, keep it so that he does not keep sliding to the ground.

Keep your eyes focused

In relation to the first point, playing Flappy Bird on the widescreen field made our eyes more comfortable, and less intensity flicker. The Focus is wide, and fingers can also touch any part of the screen without fear of covering up and disrupting the overall action of the bird. Because the more often your eyes blink, the more likely you will lose or skip the timings when you need to touch the screen properly.

Finding the right play location

And from tens of hours playing this game, sometimes we also immediately fail when our attention is split. Usually because of a voice, like someone's call or someone to talk to us. So may keep other sound sources, such as turning off the television, or looking for a quiet room to play it. Clearly, we also do not recommend playing it in the middle of the grave.

Set your game rhythm

Indeed we have not met directly these game players who to slam their gadgets out of frustration. But there are many players who are desperate, and likely to continue to grow during the spread of Flappy Bird's viral name on social media is unstoppable, and there is still a fraudulent cheating competition by playing the highest score. Flappy Bird is "terrible," and can easily break through your patience and curious limits. But because of the element of competition and curiosity that was, the players tend to be addicted. That addictive effect must stop. Stop for a moment, turn attention to something else until it's quiet, and come back to play it.

Competition for motivation

Can also break play it, you open the social network and see your friends score higher. No need to feel unrivaled, just make the motivation to be more eager to improve the timing in playback. Oh yes, extra motive, and although this is not an achievement, you can get a medal. Success through 10 pipes for bronze medals, 20 for silver, and 30 for gold.
