Flap Gap

Tap to flap and steer a little bird through gaps in the pipes. One mistake ends the run. How far can you get?

How to play

  1. Tap, click or press Space to flap. The bird falls when you do nothing.
  2. Fly through the gap between each pair of pipes to score a point.
  3. Touching a pipe or the ground ends the run.
  4. Your best score is saved on this device.

Tips and strategy

  • Small, steady taps beat panicked ones. Aim to keep the bird near the middle of the next gap.
  • Start adjusting your height as soon as a new gap enters the screen.
  • The ceiling is safe, so if you flap too high you only bounce off it.
  • Pipe gaps change by a limited amount each time, so a path always exists.

FAQ

Is every gap passable?
Yes. Each gap sits within a limited distance of the one before it, and the game is tested with an autopilot to confirm it can be cleared.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Space or the up arrow key flaps, and tapping or clicking the play area does the same.
Does the speed change?
No. The speed is constant, so the challenge is rhythm and judgement rather than getting faster.
