If you haven't already downloaded the addictive and much-hyped Flappy Bird mobile game for iOS or Android, you're out of luck.
Creator Dong Nguyen officially pulled the app from Apple's App Store on Sunday, saying he could no longer handle the pressure and stress following its instant success.

On Saturday, Nguyen sent a series of tweets warning that he was going to remove the app in just 22 hours. Fans pleaded with him to keep it available, but by Sunday at 12 p.m. ET, the app was no longer downloadable via iTunes.
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.

Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace.

Users who already have the game will still be able to play it.
Although the app launched in May 2013, it became an overnight sensation this week as it climbed to the top free app in Apple's App Store and Google Play for Android.
Perhaps the app went viral because it is so frustrating play. The concept of the game is to keep a bird afloat by tapping it through a series of obstacles. The game is designed to be simple, but the task is extremely difficult.
