How to play Blocky Bird
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Blocky Bird is easy to start and harder to master, which is the balance the best browser games hit. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
