Flightless Bird

A bird that cannot fly, doing it anyway. Tap to flap. That is the whole control scheme, and the rest is nerve. EVERY FIVE POINTS, IT GETS HARDER Each pipe you clear is a point. Every five of them the world speeds up, the gaps narrow and the pipes crowd closer together. It stops tightening at level eleven, where the game is as hard as it will ever get and the rest is up to you. SEVEN SKIES Night, day and dusk. A screen of falling code. A ringed planet in deep space. A frozen world where snow comes down and the bird visibly shivers, breath on the air. A lava flow with embers riding the updraught. Four bird colours, none of which fly any differently. ELEVEN ACHIEVEMENTS Tuned so an ordinary run earns none of them. Four are judged inside a single run and reset when it ends: a squeeze past a gap with under ten pixels to spare, a pass dead through the middle, ten pipes without scraping the ceiling, ninety seconds aloft. They cannot be assembled across several attempts. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, Español, Français, Italiano, Türkçe, Русский, 中文. It follows your phone on first launch and you can change it whenever you like. NOTHING TO BUY, NOTHING TO WATCH No ads. No purchases. No accounts. No analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking of any kind. The game has no network code in it at all, so there is nothing to send and nowhere to send it. Your scores, your achievements and your settings live on this device, and deleting the app deletes them. No timers pushing you to come back, no chest to open, no reason to play it except that you wanted to.
