Play Online Flappy Bird
Dong Nguyen released Flappy Bird under the .GEARS Studios label in May 2013. He rolled it out across mobile platforms not long after. A single tap lifts the bird up. Pipes line the path with tight openings. Each gap cleared adds a point. A crash ends the run at once.
It plays out like an arcade challenge. No plot appears beyond that flight. Pixel art gives it a retro feel. The view scrolls from right to left. Your taps hold the bird in motion. No extras or power-ups join the quest. Each pipe set demands sharper timing.
Players chased top scores on online leaderboards. The game ran for free and used ads for revenue. It stood out for its simple mechanics before vanishing in early 2014. Dong Nguyen pulled it from stores due to worries about its habit forming design.
