Especially considering the flappy bird game is just a redesigned rehash of the old chopper flash game.
Replace helicopter with bird, replace a series of walls and towers with marioesque pipes and back drop, and you got flappy bird.
Edit: Link to the old chopper game.
And I'm sure the name Flappy Bird helped in it's success since its so similar to Angry Birds. Everything seems to have aligned perfectly for this guy.
Luck plays a major role in every endeavor. Skill and execution just increase your luck.
