Less than a couple months after reaching the top of the game apps, Flappy Bird will no longer be downloadable after Sunday. Despite the game's runaway success, its creator decided to take the game down, refusing to answer questions and leaving players and the world with just as many questions as when the game soared in the charts.

Nguyen Ha Dong, the game developer behind Flappy Bird, announced on Twitter that he would take down the game, citing its hype and popularity as the reasons. Nguyen, who started creating games four years ago, according to an interview with Tech Crunch, is the only developer in his company, .GEARS. It remains unclear still how a game released in May 2013 has only recently reached such a height of popularity but some attribute it to Flappy Bird's built in "Share" and "Rate" capabilities as well as social media. Players, frustrated with its difficulty, would write reviews, complain on Facebook and use #FlappyBird to spread the word on Twitter.

But, it is that overwhelming popularity that has made Nguyen want to remove the game from the App Store. In his tweets from Saturday, he wote, "I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it." He had also said the press was "overrating" the game and that he wanted to be left alone. In a couple following tweets, however, Nguyen adds that he will not be selling the game and that he will continue developing games.

Though many remain baffled by the decision, others believe it could be a promotional stunt. It is reported that Flappy Bird makes $50,000 a day in ad revenue, which will give its creator a sizeable income for a couple of years. USA Today asked tech blogger Robert Scoble about this and he surmised that Nguyen could be creating anticipation for his next game.
