Flappy Bird, a popular Iphone game, just went off of the app store. For those of you that don't know, the entire thing is quite mysterious. Dong Nguyen, the developer for the game, took it down out of nowhere, and for good reason.
You see, the main goal of this game is to fly through the pipes. The more pipes you fly through, the higher your score. Players brainwashed themselves for hours on end getting better at flying through these mysterious green pipes. But what lead to the idea for such a seemingly random concept? To understand Flappy Bird, you must first understand every element of the game and what Nguyen created them to represent.
The Bird:
That orange bird, so lovable, graceful, moving at the touch of your finger. Even when his foot hits a pipe, players still love him. They were meant to. He's the symbol of a free citizen.
The Pipes:
The green pipes are hated. Similar to the Super Mario Bros. pipes in look, these have a different purpose. They get in your way, frustrating you. They were also meant to. They symbolize government.
The Ground:
The ground represents Obama.
The game was taken off the app store by Obama due to it's anti-communism ideologies. The developer wanted to show us that if you teach yourself to work around the government, then you will go much further in life. If you run into the government, Obama kills you.
Never delete this game from your phone. It is a symbol of freedom. HOORAH.
