Now and then a game spreads like wildfire, and right now that game is Tappy Bird. It sounds almost too simple to be fun — tap to flap and thread your way through the gaps — and yet players cannot put it down. Therein lies the appeal.
The reason it works so well comes down to one thing: just one more go. As each obstacle is dodged, your score climbs higher — yet one mistimed tap ends it all. Will you beat your friends' high scores? It is a challenge you take on again and again.
The Rules Made Simple
The whole thing clicks after one go. Press to make the bird rise, then let it dip and tap again. Every obstacle cleared pushes your total higher. Stay in the air and rack up the points. Leave it too late and you clip an obstacle. Simple to learn, tough to master.
What makes it so easy to love: you can play for free, no strings attached. No sign-up hurdles, nothing to install — tap the screen and go. From kids to grandparents, it just works and enjoy it anywhere, any time.
