Super Ball Juggling and Shuriken Block are made by Flappy Bird’s developer

Everyone’s talking about the sudden demise of annoying little Flappy Bird, and now that the bird is gone, people actually miss it. It’s human nature to crave the forbidden fruit, I guess.

I must confess I have Flappy alive and well on my iPhone, and I expressly made a backup because I’ve grown fond of this annoying little critter. I’m at a point where I actually hold contests with my girlfriend to see who flies farther. Quite often we end up fighting and not talking to each other for hours. It's a life-changing experience.

Anyway, if you didn’t get the chance to pick up Flappy Bird, there are two other games by Dong Nguyen that you might enjoy just as much.

They’re based on the same endless-goal concept, and they’re both difficult as hell.

In Shuriken Block you must prevent shurikens from stabbing a bunch of people on execution row. Miss three and you're out.

In Super Ball Juggling you need to volley a soccer ball until your finger goes numb. You juggle with one soccer player at first, then, all of a sudden, you’re given a second ball to juggle with a second player. It’s excruciating!
