Dong Nguyen is a Vietnamese game developer best known for creating the mobile game Flappy Bird. Released in 2013, the game became a viral sensation due to its simple yet challenging gameplay, where players navigate a bird through pipes by tapping the screen. Nguyen's success with Flappy Bird led to significant media attention and financial success, but he eventually removed the game from app stores in 2014, citing concerns over its addictive nature. Despite its short lifespan, Flappy Bird has left a lasting impact on mobile gaming and inspired many similar games.
