Flappy Runner

About the game

Flappy Runner is a one-touch runner where you guide your character through the gaps between obstacles. There are three modes: Sky Flight (easy) where you tap to soar up, Space Descent (normal) where you tap to sink down, and Ocean Currents (hard) where you swim against shifting currents. Each obstacle you pass is worth 1 point, and as your score rises the speed increases and the gaps get narrower.

How to play

• Sky Flight: tap the screen or press Space, ↑ or ↓ to fly up; let go and you fall
• Space Descent: tap the screen or press Space, ↑ or ↓ to dive down; let go and you float up
• Ocean Currents: press and hold above or below your character to swim that way (drag to keep steering)
• Ocean Currents on keyboard: hold ↑ (or Space) to swim up, hold ↓ to swim down
• ❚❚ button at the top right: pause (adjust sound effects, music and vibration)

Tips

• Keeping a steady rhythm and aiming for the middle of each gap works better than frantic tapping.
• Touching the ceiling or the ground also ends the run, so stay away from the screen edges.
• In Ocean mode a warning appears about a second before the current changes, so get ready to push the other way.
• If you are new, learn the feel in Sky Flight, then move on to Space Descent and Ocean Currents.
• Each mode has bronze, silver and gold medal targets, so aim for the next medal to push your record.
