•Tap gently and frequently rather than in big bursts

•The bird's beak can overlap with the pipe slightly—use this knowledge

•Play in a quiet environment; distractions are deadly in Flappy Bird

About Flappy Bird

By Dong Nguyen (Original) / Community

Flappy Bird is the legendary mobile game that became a global phenomenon in 2014. Created by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen, this deceptively simple game captivated millions with its brutal difficulty and addictive one-more-try gameplay.

The Legend of Flappy Bird

In early 2014, Flappy Bird was earning an estimated $50,000 per day in ad revenue. Then, at the peak of its success, creator Dong Nguyen suddenly removed it from app stores, citing concerns about its addictive nature. This made the game even more legendary, with phones containing Flappy Bird selling for thousands of dollars on eBay.

Now you can relive the madness right here in your browser—no download required.

How to Play

The rules couldn't be simpler: tap to flap. Each tap makes the bird rise slightly; stop tapping and gravity pulls it down. Your goal is to navigate through the gaps between green pipes without touching them.

That's it. No power-ups, no shields, no extra lives. Just you, the bird, and an endless series of pipes.

Why Is Flappy Bird So Hard?

★ Unforgiving Hitboxes

Even the slightest touch of a pipe means instant death. There's no margin for error.

★ Gravity Physics

The bird falls faster than you expect, making timing crucial. Tap too early and you'll hit the top pipe; tap too late and you'll crash into the bottom.

★ Inconsistent Gaps

The vertical position of the pipe gaps varies, forcing you to constantly adjust your altitude.

★ Mental Pressure

Knowing that one mistake ends your run creates anxiety that often causes more mistakes.
