Now and then a game spreads like wildfire, and right now that game is Tappy Bird. On paper it could not be more basic — tap to flap and thread your way through the gaps — and yet players cannot put it down. That is the magic of it.
Why it has caught fire comes down to the pull of trying again. Pipe after pipe, the distance grows — while a single slip sends you crashing down. Can you keep your nerve and fly on? That question never gets old.
Tappy Bird in a Nutshell
You will be up to speed in seconds. Tap the screen to flap, and time your taps to stay level. Each gap you fly through adds to your score. Stay in the air and rack up the points. Tap too hard and you fly into the top the bird drops and it is game over. Simple to learn, tough to master.
The beauty is how open it is: there is no cost to jump in. No accounts to create, no updates to sit through — the fun starts the moment it loads. It is made for everyone and enjoy it anywhere, any time.
