  There's a nice study of this game (but still no explanation to its success):

  I do not understand both issues:
  
  - How an almost demo game was more successfull game in 2014 and
  - Why has it been taken off the store by its programmer?

  or sell the source code for slightly lesser and then everyone could compile their own flappy bird with a highscore table holding their names as top players

  According to the Telegraph
  
  "Speculation is rife that bots have been deployed to download the app thousands of times and falsely propel the game up the download charts. "
  
  Is this what we call "app store optimization"?

  It's not limited to flappy bird:
  
  "Inside Mobile Apps noted back in early 2012 that it was a "well-known secret" that many top apps got there with the help of such a bot network. One app marketer reportedly admitted this quite openly:"
