About Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is a bird, a button and a row of pipes. Each tap flaps the bird upward, gravity pulls it down, and the openings in the pipes are exactly one bird tall with a little room to spare. The score is how many pipes you pass. Everyone's first score is under five; a good score is over fifty; the game has no end.

It is a bone gap with wings: one input, one opening, and a death that is always your own timing.

How to Play Flappy Bird

1. Press Play, then tap or press Space to start.
2. Tap to flap. Do not tap and the bird falls.
3. Glide through the gap in each pair of pipes.
4. Keep going. A pipe touched is the end of the run.

Controls

• Space, Up arrow, click or tap: flap.
• That is all of them.

Tips and Tricks

• Tap in a rhythm and adjust the rhythm, rather than reacting to each pipe.
• Aim for the lower third of the gap; the fall is faster than the flap.
• Look at the next pipe, not the bird.
• Stop when you are annoyed. The score gets worse, not better.
