The highly addictive nature of Flappy Birb, driven by the pursuit of a high score and near-miss mechanics, can lead to excessive play. Its lack of natural stopping points may make it difficult for players to disengage, potentially leading to frustration and time displacement. While there are no direct monetization or social risks, the game's design can foster a cycle of repetitive play for minimal reward.
