I must admit I have become quite enamored of Flappy Bird and it happened by accident – really it did.

As I was reading all the tweets and stories over the last week relating to the original Flappy Bird developer deciding to remove his $50,000 per day app from the Apple App and Google Play stores I wondered why it was so popular.

Then I decided, in the interest of research and awareness of course, to check out some of the clones in the Windows Phone Store.

Well there are plenty to be had in there:

That top game there is the most popular in the Windows Phone Store and can be checked out online. It has nearly 21,000 reviews for an average of 4 Stars as of today which is astonishing and a testament to its addictive nature.

It also seems to be the best match to the original Flappy Bird game from what I can tell through screenshots and game play clips.

So far 7 is my highest score and that took me several, and I mean several, attempts to get.

I now understand the addictive nature of this game and it is not about awesome graphics but about the game play and desire to get that score higher and higher.
