Flappy Bird is the iconic one-tap arcade game that took the world by storm. Guide a tiny yellow bird through an endless series of green pipes by tapping the screen or pressing Space to flap. Each pipe you clear earns you a point, and your personal best is saved automatically in your browser so you can keep chasing a new high score every session.

This free online version runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, no installs, no signup. It works on desktop with the spacebar and on mobile with a simple tap. The physics are tuned to match the original: gravity pulls the bird down, every flap gives it a quick lift, and a single touch on a pipe or the ground ends the run. Simple to learn, brutally hard to master.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the bird?

Tap the canvas (on mobile) or click it with your mouse (on desktop) to flap. You can also press the Space key on your keyboard. Each flap gives the bird an instant upward boost; gravity pulls it down between flaps.

How does scoring work?

You earn one point every time the bird successfully passes through a pair of pipes. Your current score is shown at the top of the canvas during play, and your best score is saved locally so it persists between sessions.

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Yes — press Space at any time to flap, start a new game, or restart after a game over. The keyboard control works exactly like tapping the canvas.

Does it work on mobile and touch screens?

Absolutely. The canvas responds to touch events directly, so you can play on any phone or tablet. The game prevents accidental scrolling while you tap, giving you a smooth, native-feeling experience.
