Flappy Bird is set to be returning to the iPhone soon, as the iconic side-scrolling game was released in 2013 and rapidly received millions of downloads.
The game was suddenly removed from the App Store in 2014 after its creator Dong Nguyen decided that the game was too addictive. However, Nguyen disliked the excessive fame and attention that he began to get as a result of the game's popularity.
The Flappy Bird was a simple and easy game in which players tapped on the screen to navigate a small bird through columns of green pipes without hitting them, in an attempt to set a new high score.

The website for the upcoming reboot of the game promised new characters and game modes, like shooting the bird through basketball hoops.
Flappy Bird is claimed to return to a variety of platforms, including the web, with native iOS and Android apps planned to be released in 2025.
The game's revival is being led by the "Flappy Bird Foundation" which describes itself as a "new team of passionate fans committed to sharing the game with the world." The group said that it has owned the official Flappy Bird trademark rights.
"It's been a decade-long, convoluted journey to get here, but we're so excited to finally begin sharing Flappy Bird once again with the world," the group added.
