Dong Nguyen's highly-popular and free Flappy Bird iOS mini-game was pulled from the App Store a few weeks ago, and even though it's no longer a part of the iOS App Store anymore, it's still a legend that current game developers are modeling off of.
Just in the top six free applications in the iOS App Store alone, four of them make up some kind of Flappy Bird wannabe, and there are many, many, many more wannabes in the App Store of all kinds – some of them easier, some of them more complex. But one thing is for sure, and that is that none of them are the true Flappy Bird.

The Guardian recently decided to look into the Flappy Bird phenomenon even further, and found that within a recent 24-hour period, 95 of 293 new games released into the iOS App Store were some kind of Flappy Bird wannabe. If you do the math, that's around 33%, or one-third.
The Guardian has a whole list of the recently-released Flappy Bird wannabes here, and it's next to a no-brainer that more are destined to be released in coming weeks, and even maybe months.
Nguyen, the developer behind Flappy Bird, currently doesn't have any plans to sell Flappy Bird or re-release it at this point in time.
