Google and Apple rejecting Flappy Titles

(Before It's News)

It has been a week since the founder of the popular Indie game developer Dong Nguyen pulled the game off the iOS and Android app store. After that, hundreds of Flappy Bird spin-offs surfaced on both app stores. Well, it appears that both companies have decided to stop lappy-esque games decimating Flappy Bird’s popularity charts.

Flappy Bird is not longer on the Google Play Store

The first incident to indicate this was originally spotted on Twitter where Mind Juice Media’s Ken Carpenter’s “Flappy Dragon” — Flappy Bird mock up– got rejected for infringing DotGear studios copyrights of this app.

In addition, another popular Flappy Bird mock up has recently changed its name to “Jumpy Bee” thus avoiding being kicked out from the app store. It’s highly probable that Google and Apple are reaching to the folks behind the Flappy Bird mock ups already in the app store, in order to change the name of their app.

Both companies have yet to comment on the particular event. If we hear anything we’ll let you people know immediately.

Have you guys played any Flappy Bird alternatives? If yes, let us know of your impressions and if the two tech giants are doing the right thing by rejecting FB mock apps in the comments below.
