About Flappy Bird
Our Flappy Bird style game is a one button challenge. Your bird falls all the time, and each tap gives it a short flap upward. Guide it through the gaps between pairs of pipes. Touching a pipe, the ground or the top of the screen ends the run.
Tap to fly games became a global craze in 2014 thanks to their simple controls and famously hard difficulty. This is our own free version inspired by that style, built to run smoothly in any browser.
It is a test of rhythm and focus. Each run is short, so it is easy to say one more try. Tap the screen on a phone, or click or press Space on a computer.
Because each run lasts only seconds, this game is best in short bursts. Many players find their best scores come after a short warm up of a few runs, once they find the rhythm of the taps. Arcade Pantry is free to play with no sign up and no download. Your best results are saved only in your own browser.
Flappy Bird tips and strategy
- Tap in a steady rhythm instead of frantic bursts. Small, regular flaps keep you level.
- Aim to fly through the lower half of each gap. It is easier to flap up than to stop falling.
- Look ahead at the next gap, not at the bird.
- After passing a pipe, start lining up for the next one right away.
- Do not over correct. One extra tap can send you into the top pipe.
- Play in short sessions. Fresh focus beats tired tapping.
