Stop 1 · How to play

Three rules. That's it.

One tap, one flap. Easy to learn, impossible to put down.

  1. The bird flaps once per tap.
    01

    Tap to fly

    Every tap is one flap. Let go and gravity takes over.

  2. The bird flies through a hoop for a perfect.
    02

    Fly through the hoops

    Miss the rim for a perfect. Three in a row and your bird catches fire.

  3. One touch of the spikes ends the run.
    03

    Mind the spikes

    Top or bottom, one touch ends the run. A shield or a heart saves you once.

Power-ups, rings and tips
The one rule

One touch and it's over.

Stop 2 · Versus

Race real players.

Every run can be a race. Fly against a real player's recorded run while their score climbs next to yours. Beat it to win.

Or switch to Free Fly and chase the top of the leaderboard on your own.

How versus works

Stop 4 · Since 2014

Same bird. New world.

Flappy Spikes first flew on iPhone in 2014: one square pink bird, one tap, two rows of spikes. Twelve years later it was rebuilt from scratch, with hoops, versus races and a whole flock of new birds. The bird you just met is still that bird.
