Flappy Bird is a 2013 mobile, side-scrolling arcade game where players tap the screen to navigate a bird named "Faby" through gaps in pairs of pipes without colliding with them. Known for its extreme difficulty, simple pixel-art graphics, and high addictive potential, it became a viral sensation in early 2014 before being removed by its creator.
The bird continuously moves forward and descends automatically. Each tap causes the bird to flap upwards, requiring precise timing to avoid pipes and the ground.
