How to play Flappy Bird
Each tap, click or press of Space makes the bird flap upward; between flaps it falls. Fly through the gaps between the pipes - every pair you pass is one point, and touching a pipe or the ground ends the run. Short, regular taps keep the bird level far better than long bursts.
The gaps between the pipes narrow the longer a run lasts. Pick easy, medium, hard or endless, and you can also choose a yellow, red or blue bird and a day or night background.

Frequently asked questions
Difficulty typically affects pipe gap size, spacing, and speed - easier difficulties give you more room for error, while harder ones demand tighter, more precise timing.
Yes - high scores are typically saved locally on your device, so your best score persists across visits on the same browser.
Tapping (on touchscreens), mouse clicking, or pressing the spacebar all typically work to make the bird flap upward.
Tap in a steady rhythm rather than in panic, and aim to pass through the lower half of each gap - it is easier to rise into a gap than to fall into it. Watch the next pipe, not the bird.
One mistake ends the run, the gaps are narrow and the bird falls fast, so small timing errors add up. That simplicity is also why it is so replayable.
The original mobile game by Dong Nguyen became a viral hit in early 2014 and was removed from app stores by its creator weeks later. Browser versions like this keep the same one-tap idea.
