Flappy Bird Creator Dong Nguyen will be incorporating the message, “Please take a break,” in the game. The game author has plans to return his hit game to the App Store, according to several consultations of the app developer with his fans.

“My life has not been as comfortable as it was before,” Dong Nguyen said. “I couldn’t sleep.” Screen grab via iTunes

In a recent tweet discovered by Gawker, someone asked him if he would return Flappy Bird to the online store. Flappy Bird’s comeback is not clear but Nguyen has said when he re-releases the app, it will come with a warning: “Please take a break.”

Such warning can be serious for Nguyen, considering how deeply he was affected by the negative effects the game had on people, which led him to pull it off. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Nguyen revealed he pulled the app from the App Store back in February both because of too much media attention it was garnering and because people became obsessed with the notoriously difficult game. It ruined lives when the app arrived. He even regretted having caused some people lost jobs and some parents to stop paying more attention to their children because they got too hooked to the mobile game.

It was truly great to all Flappy Bird fans to hear he would eventually release again the mobile game in the App Store. But there is so much to comprehend when he responded to a fan’s inquiry. Yes, “but not soon.” He confirmed through a series of tweets which are mostly responses to the fans who have been asking him about his mobile game.
