About Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is an arcade game where you guide a small bird through a maze of pipes. The challenge lies in staying aloft with a single tap, threading each gap without touching the pipes above or below. It plays in your browser, on phone or computer, with no download needed, and rewards precise, patient timing.

How to play Flappy Bird

Tap to make the bird flap and rise slightly, then let gravity pull it back down. Time your taps so the bird slips through the gaps between pipes without hitting them. Each obstacle you clear boosts your score, so steady, controlled tapping matters more than fast or hard tapping. The controls are simple, but keeping the bird steady through a long run of pipes takes practice.

Tips for playing Flappy Bird

  • Tap in short, steady bursts instead of long presses to keep the bird's height under control.
  • Focus on one pipe gap at a time rather than looking ahead at the whole screen.
  • Try to keep the bird near the vertical center of each gap so you have room to adjust.
