How to play

  1. Start the run. Press the Start button, or just tap the game screen once it's focused.
  2. Flap to rise. Every tap, click, or press of Space gives the bird a short burst upward. Gravity pulls it back down constantly.
  3. Thread the gap. Pipes scroll in from the right in pairs, top and bottom, with one gap between them. Fly through the gap.
  4. Score by clearing pipes. Each pair of pipes you pass adds one point. Speed creeps up slightly as your score grows.
  5. Don't touch anything. Hitting a pipe, the ceiling, or the ground ends the run immediately.

Tips

  • Small, frequent taps control altitude better than big rushed ones.
  • Aim for the vertical middle of each gap early, not the edges.
  • Watch the bird's tilt — nose-down means you're falling, nose-up means you just flapped.
  • The game is fastest right after you flap through a tight gap; stay calm and keep the rhythm steady.
