About Flappy Buddy
This is a simple retro-themed idle tapper featuring a bird. Guide the intrepid flyer across the field and make sure to avoid the walls. Keep flying for as long as you can. Earn points by collecting coins and popping balloons. Unlock new fields and birds.
How to play Flappy Buddy
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Point, click, done: the mouse is the entire control scheme. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing
What makes Flappy Buddy stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
