Flappy Bird 2 on this site is a fan-made browser game built on the idea of Dong Nguyen’s 2013 Flappy Bird. It is not made by Nguyen or .GEARS Studios. The bird is a black crow, and the game’s own title screen calls it Flappy Crow. You can play it here with no download.
How to play
- Click, tap or press the space bar to start. The bird gets a first flap straight away.
- Keep flapping to stay in the air and fly through the gap between each pair of pipes.
- Each pipe you clear scores one point. Hitting a pipe or the ground ends the run.
How the flap works
We read these numbers from the game’s own files and checked them by playing it. The screen is 960 pixels tall in game units.
- One flap lifts the bird about 94 pixels and reaches its peak after about 0.3 seconds.
- The gap between pipes is about 230 pixels, so it holds roughly two and a half flaps.
- The bird climbs at 650 pixels a second after a flap, but its fall builds up to 1,000. It falls faster than it climbs.
- Holding the button does nothing extra. Only the moment you tap counts.
- Flying off the top of the screen does not end the run, but you cannot flap again until the bird drops back into view.
Medals and your best score
You earn a medal at 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 points. The medal depends only on the run you just played. Your best score stays in your browser on this device, so a private window or clearing site data sets it back to zero.
