Every so often a game comes along that just clicks, and right now that game is Tappy Bird. On paper it could not be more basic — keep a bird in the air and dodge the obstacles — yet somehow it is completely addictive. That is the magic of it.
What makes it tick comes down to the pull of trying again. As each obstacle is dodged, the distance grows — but so does the pressure. Can you keep your nerve and fly on? It is a challenge you take on again and again.
Tappy Bird in a Nutshell
There is nothing to memorise. Press to make the bird rise, and time your taps to stay level. 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. Easy in theory, nerve-wracking in practice.
Best of all, there is nothing standing in your way: it is completely free to play. No sign-up hurdles, nothing to install — the fun starts the moment it loads. From kids to grandparents, it just works and play a quick round wherever you are.

The Timing Game: Rhythm Is King
The high-scorers will all tell you the same: timing your taps. Press too fast and you overshoot the gap; leave it too long and the bird drops. There is no secret formula — which is exactly why it never gets stale. Play at a pace you are comfortable with and every run lasts a little longer.
Perfect for Mobile Play
One key to its success is that it feels tailor-made for mobile. Graphics look sharp on the smallest device, there is nothing awkward to master, and you can play on a commute or a coffee break. Rarely is an install required — just tap and play.
