Flappy Bird, developed by Dong Nguyen in 2013, became a global sensation for its brutal difficulty and simple mechanics. Its status as a meme peaked when the creator famously removed the game from app stores at the height of its popularity, citing concerns over its addictive nature. In the meme world, Flappy Bird is often used to represent situations where progress is fragile and one tiny mistake leads to total disaster. Whether it is the bird hitting the iconic green pipes or the sheer rage of a low score, the template perfectly captures the fine line between success and sudden failure.
