Flappy Bird is painfully hard timing game where you make your way through a side-scrolling maze. It has both positive (the bell, score and progress) and negative (the shock) reinforcements that are delivered quickly. Because it is easy to start over (and over and over) and your chances of success are fairly random, the game has the potential to become addicting. Like a loose tooth -- it "hurts good." It is a free app, monetized by ads.
