About Flappy Bird
Flap through pipe gaps and score one point for every pipe pair passed without touching a pipe or the screen edges. Each flap sets vertical velocity to -7 while gravity adds 0.4 every update.
Pipe pairs move at speed 2.5 and use a 130-pixel vertical gap. Pipes are spawned every 90 update frames.
How to Play Flappy Bird
1Tap, click, or press Space to flap upward.
2Let gravity lower the bird between flaps to line up with the next gap.
3Pass each pipe pair without touching either pipe.
Flappy Bird Rules
- Passing a pipe pair adds 1 point.
- Touching a pipe ends the run.
- Hitting the top or bottom screen boundary also ends the run.
