Flappy Gap
Flappy Gap is a one-button flight through moving pipe openings. Gravity pulls your circle down; each flap kicks it upward just long enough to thread the next gap. Easy keeps pipes slow and openings wide; Hard tightens the window and rushes the scroll.

About this game
Flap with Space, click, W, or Up. Use on-screen Easy / Normal / Hard buttons or keys 1 / 2 / 3 to swap speed profiles mid-session — changing difficulty restarts the run. Score climbs each time you clear a pipe pair. Press R after a crash to try again from zero.
Controls
| Player | Keys |
|---|---|
| Player | Space / click / W / Up = flap |
| Player | Easy/Normal/Hard or keys 1/2/3 · R restart |
Common use cases
- Warm up timing on Easy, then push a personal best on Hard.
- Kill a short break with a flap game that needs no install.
- Compare pipe clears with a friend by swapping difficulty on the same machine.
Tips
- Tap lightly and often on Hard — long holds overshoot the shrinking gaps.
- Watch the green lip on each pipe; clearing that edge is what adds a point.
- After switching speed with 1/2/3, wait for the fresh spawn before flapping hard.
FAQ
What changes between Easy, Normal, and Hard?
Each profile adjusts pipe scroll speed, gravity, flap strength, gap height, and how often new pipes spawn. Hard is faster with tighter gaps.
How do I score in Flappy Gap?
You earn one point each time your bird passes completely through a pipe pair without touching it.
Can I change difficulty mid-run?
Yes — buttons or keys 1/2/3 switch profiles and restart the current attempt so the new physics apply cleanly.
Does Flappy Gap need a download?
No. It runs in the browser tab; scores stay in the current session.
