Creator of the simple yet highly addictive mobile game, Flappy Bird, has reportedly confirmed that he will bring back the game on the app stores in near future.

Dong Nguyen created the frustratingly addictive game only to pull it out of app stores when he realized that gamers were totally hooked onto the game, leading to a lot of criticism from game lovers.

However, Nguyen has said that he was considering bringing the game back, but cautioned with words 'not so soon,' Cnet reports.

Soon after the 28-year-old Vietnamese developer pulled out the game, a lot of Flappy Bird clones mushroomed in the app stores.

Nguyen had earlier said that Flappy Bird clones can be easily made, but they won't match up the original game.
