Flappy Bird was the most searched game on Google, according to Google’s 2014 search data analysis. The other most searched games include Destiny, Titanfall, FIFA 15, and Threes clone 2048. Flappy Bird peaked on February 9.
"A game made in a weekend topped the most expensive one in history," said Google. "After seven years in development, Destiny made record sales upon its release. Although it was the most expensive game ever made, it was outdone in searches by 2048 and Flappy Bird – games made by one person in no more than three days."
Google added that there is a trend for retro gaming and that card games were searched more than mobile games. Also 'toys' was searched for three times more than 'console.'
