It looks like Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen is getting a taste of his own medicine as Flappy Bird clones and rip-offs flood Apple's App store.
Flappy Bird may have been pulled from iTunes by Dong Nguyen almost a month ago, but the wave of clones that followed it doesn't seem to be letting up. An average of 60 Flappy Bird clones and rip-offs are appearing on Apple's App store every day according to VG 24/7.
Pocket Gamer confirmed that, In an investigation into the last 300 Flappy clones to hit Apple's App Store, Pocket Gamer has discovered that on average 60 clones are added every day (about 69 on February 28th, 48 on March 1st, 75 on March 2nd, and 49 on March 3rd).
On average, that means 2.5 clones are added an hour - or one every 24 minutes.
Because of Apple's uneven release schedule, where apps are only added between the hours of 15:00 and 08:00 UTC, you couldn't set your watch by it. On some days, 14 Flappy games can be added in the space of one hour, for example.
