Game overview

Classic endless runner feel

Remarkable Games recreated Flappy Bird using p5.play, keeping the precise tap timing that made the original viral. The bird constantly falls; each flap boosts it upward, letting you thread narrow pipe gaps. The pace steadily increases, pushing reflexes and patience to the limit.

Controls

One-button mastery

  • Space / Click / Tap: Flap once to gain altitude. Repeated presses keep the bird airborne.
  • Avoid pipes: Colliding with any obstacle ends the run.

Why play it?

Instant pickup

  • Simple mechanics anyone can grasp in seconds.
  • High-score chasing ideal for quick sessions.
  • Open-source implementation for developers exploring p5.play physics.

Our take

Why we recommend this remake

This version of Flappy Bird keeps the razor-sharp timing that made the original famous while avoiding clutter. There are no currencies, shops, or cosmetics layered on top—just the satisfying snap of perfectly timed flaps and the sting of clipping a pipe by a single pixel.

Because it is built with p5.play and stays close to the original’s feel, it doubles as both a quick reflex game and a teaching tool. If you are curious how to recreate classic mobile arcade loops in a browser canvas, this page anchors that learning with a concrete example you can immediately play and inspect.

Who is it for?

Players who enjoy difficult, precise challenges will get the most from this remake—especially if you remember the 2013 craze and want a faithful modern take that runs everywhere. It is less ideal for those seeking progression systems or relax mode options; the tension here comes from unforgiving pipes and the urge to beat your last score.

Tips

Stay alive longer

  • Keep a steady rhythm—panic tapping often leads to crashes.
  • Focus eyes slightly ahead to anticipate pipe gaps.
  • Practice shorter runs to dial in muscle memory before chasing records.
