Flappy Bird recreates the famously tricky tap-to-fly format: one tap keeps your bird aloft against constant gravity, and touching a pipe or the ground ends your run. Bumping the ceiling won't kill you here -- your bird's climb simply stops there -- so getting a smooth, steady tapping rhythm is the whole game.
How to Play Flappy Bird
Tap or click to make the bird flap and fly through the pipe gaps. Pipes and the ground end your run -- the ceiling is safe to bump.

Rules & Scoring
Tap or click to make the bird flap upward; gravity pulls it back down constantly. Each pipe gap you pass through is worth 1 point, and your best score is saved between sessions.
What Actually Ends a Run
Touching a pipe or the ground ends your run -- but bumping the top of the screen doesn't. The bird's upward movement simply stops there, so the ceiling is safe in a way the ground and pipes aren't.
Fixed Difficulty
The pipe gap size and scroll speed stay constant from your very first pipe to your last -- this version doesn't ramp up difficulty as your score climbs, so a late mistake is exactly as costly as an early one.
Controls
Click or tap anywhere on the game, or press Space, to flap.
Strategy
Tap in a steady, light rhythm rather than in bursts -- since gravity is constant and the flap impulse is fixed, a consistent tapping cadence keeps you in the vertical center of each gap instead of overcorrecting up and down.
Common Mistakes
Tapping in a panic right before a pipe, rather than adjusting your rhythm several pipes in advance, tends to send the bird into the pipe's edge. Forgetting the ceiling is safe sometimes causes players to hold back a needed flap near the top of the screen.
History
Flappy Bird recreates the famously difficult tap-to-fly format from the original mobile game released by developer Dong Nguyen in 2013, which briefly became one of the most downloaded apps in the world before being pulled from app stores by its creator.
Tips for Flappy Bird
- Flappy Bird tends to reward a steady, controlled pace more than raw speed -- rushing early is usually what ends a run.
- Watch a full round of Flappy Bird play out once before trying to optimize your strategy; the patterns get clearer with a little observation.
- If Flappy Bird has levels or a difficulty curve, don't skip ahead -- getting the basics solid pays off once things speed up.
