The indie developer who recently pulled the plug on Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, is finally giving a reason for his big pull - the game's addictive quality.

"It happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem," said Nguyen to Forbes. "My life has not been as comfortable as I was before. I couldn't sleep."

The developer plans on continuing to make games and currently has two other popular games out, Super ball Juggling and Shuriken Block.

"Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace," Nguyen tweeted.

Nguyen took the game down from iOS and Android stores on Sunday.

"I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down," developer Nguyen wrote on his Twitter Saturday. "I cannot take this anymore."

The game has been around for roughly a year already but in the last few weeks it suddenly went viral and became the largest craze in smartphone games. Daily Mail reported the game was making $50,000 a day on advertisements alone.

The premise of the game was simple, and it was kind of stylized after Angry Birds and Super Mario. The user would have to tap the screen to keep a bird flying and if they did not he would plummet. Along the way were a ton of obstacles, which were just like the green pipes from Super Mario.

Initially his Twitter posts failed to really shed any light on why he was pulling the game.

"It is not anything related to legal issues," he Twitted. "I just cannot keep it anymore."

The good news for gamers is that if they already downloaded the game they can continue laying it.
