How to Play Floppy Bird
Floppy Bird is the maddening one-button classic: tap to flap, stop tapping to fall, and thread your bird through an endless series of pipes. Every pipe you pass is one point. It sounds easy — it is not.

How to play
- Tap the screen (or press space) to make the bird flap upward.
- Do nothing and the bird falls — gravity never stops.
- Steer through the gap between each pair of pipes.
- Each pipe you pass scores one point.
- Touch a pipe or the ground and it's game over — tap to try again.
Tips to win
- Use small, steady taps — most beginners tap too hard and launch into the top pipe.
- Watch the NEXT gap, not the bird. Your eyes should always be one pipe ahead.
- Find a rhythm: consistent gentle taps beat panicked corrections every time.
- Aim for the middle of every gap so you have room to recover from a bad flap.
- Take a break after three bad runs — tilt is real, and rested reflexes score double.
