How to play Flappy Bird

Controls

Tap the screen to make the bird flap its wings and gain height, then let it fall to line up with the next gap.

About Flappy Bird

Each tap makes the bird flap and rise a little, and then gravity pulls it straight back down.

Every gap you clear adds a point to your score. Touching a pipe ends the run right away, so one late or early tap is enough to send you back to the start. It is a one-button arcade game where your best score is the only goal.

Key features

  • A single tap is the only control in the game.
  • The bird rises with each flap and drops when you stop tapping.
  • You score a point for every gap between pipes you fly through.
  • The pipes never run out, so a run lasts until you crash.

Tips & tricks

  • Tap in a steady rhythm instead of hammering the screen, since every extra tap pushes the bird higher than you want.
  • Stay calm after a few good gaps, because one rushed tap ends the whole run.
  • Let the bird drop toward the next gap early and use small taps to hold it there.
