I was coding Indie games when it came out. The number of clones in the community was just disgusting. There was even more than one Flappy Game Jam. If Flappy Bird can be credited with one thing, it's that it made a whole bunch of inept coders think that they too could get rich by making super simple mobile games.

To be fair, a bunch of them did.

Ever heard of the app "I am Rich"?
