Flappy Bird is an engaging clicking arcade game where you control a bird that constantly flaps its wings, navigating through a series of Mario-style pipes without hitting them. As you progress, the gaps between the pipes become narrower, increasing the game’s difficulty.

How to Play Flappy Bird
You control a small bird flying through an obstacle course of pipes. Each time you tap the screen or press the right-click button on your mouse, the bird flaps its wings and rises. The goal is to fly as far as possible without hitting a pipe. Despite its simple premise, the game is highly challenging; even a slight misstep will cause the bird to crash.
Controls
- Mouse: Press left-click or tap the screen to make the bird fly higher. The faster you click, the higher the bird flies.
Tips and Tricks for a High Score
- Time your taps so that the bird starts flapping just before it reaches an obstacle.
- Maintain a steady rhythm to navigate through the pipes effectively.
