I honestly believe that Flappy Bird is a great game. As an simple arcade game it offers a perfectly consistent set of mechanics – you navigate through a series of obstacles that come at you at a consistent rate, controlling a character that moves predictably. And yes, it’s maddeningly challenging to get a good score playing it, but never is it unfair about the difficulty – when you crash out it is always as a direct result of what you’ve done, and not something arbitrary or unavoidable that the game has thrown at you.
