Flappy Bird

Arcade reflex test where you tap to keep a bird airborne while navigating gaps between vertical pipes. Each tap makes the bird flap upward; gravity pulls it down between taps. Pipes scroll horizontally at constant speed, and clipping any surface ends your run instantly. You earn one point per pipe cleared. The challenge is timing taps to thread narrow openings without over-correcting. Runs last seconds for beginners, maybe a minute if you find rhythm. No power-ups, no progression systems—just you versus physics and increasingly tight margins. High scores are the only carrot. It's brutally simple and designed to loop: crash, restart, try again.
