"I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it," game creator Dong Nguyen tweeted.

And because the Vietnam-based indie game maker seems to have had enough of all the other things that came with Flappy Bird's success, he has decided to pull out the massive hit off app stores February 8. Since Nguyen apparently didn't want to deal with the press in making his big announcement, the game maker took to his Twitter account to blast fans.

"I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore," @dongatory said in a tweet.

"It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore," he added in another tweet.

Nguyen also tweeted that he will still be making games. He also clarified that he is not selling the surprisingly successful game.

Although Flappy Bird has only been raved or rather, ranted about in a short span of time, the difficult game has been downloaded 50 million times, reviewed 47,000 times and more importantly, raked in $50,000 a day from in-app ad revenue, quotes The Verge.

Speaking with The Verge, Nguyen admitted that he really didn't know why the game became such a huge hit. He also said that he only spent a few nights coding the frustrating yet addictive game, after coming home from work.

"The reason Flappy Bird is so popular is that it happens to be something different from mobile games today, and is a really good game to compete against each other," Nguyen opined in a report by The Verge. "People in the same classroom can play and compete easily because [Flappy Bird] is simple to learn, but you need skill to get a high score."

Nguyen has since told The Verge that he has no plans to update or change the game but might consider making a sequel. Unfortunately, with the recent shocking announcement, the chance of Flappy Bird fans seeing a sequel is pretty bleak.

Users who have already downloaded the game can still go on with their adventure and frustration, clearing through those green pipes, at least for now, says Time.
