Flappy Bird Runner

So you tap, or click, and the bird jumps. That's it for the basic loop, but running adds a whole new layer of panic. Your bird sprints forward constantly, so you're not just flapping in place--you're covering ground fast. Obstacles come at you like a wave: pipes, floating spikes, and these weird spinning gear things they call "Windmills" in World 2. The first few seconds feel easy, almost boring. Then the gaps between pipes get tighter, and the ground starts disappearing into pits you have to fly over. Your brain switches from "tap to avoid" to "tap to survive every half second." The satisfying moment is when you chain three tight squeezes in a row and your heart's pounding. Difficulty builds in waves--every 50 points, the speed ticks up. After 100, the game introduces "Dash Gates" that boost your bird forward faster, which sounds helpful but actually throws off your rhythm because now you're moving even quicker through tighter spaces. There's no upgrade system, no power-ups--just you and your reflexes. World 3 adds "Ghost Pipes" that phase in and out of existence, so you have to memorize patterns instead of reacting. Mobile tapping is slightly easier because your finger covers less screen than a mouse cursor, but desktop gives you more precise double-tap control for those split-second corrections. The leaderboard is the real addiction: watching your rank slip by one point makes you hit "Retry" instantly. Objectives are simple: don't hit anything, go as far as possible. But the run mechanic means you can't hover and think--you're always moving forward, always committing. Some runs end in two seconds because you tapped too early. Others stretch past 200 points and your hand starts cramping. The sound design helps--a little chirp when you pass a pipe, a crash when you fail. There's no music, just wind noise that gets louder as you go faster. That's the loop. It's punishing, it's fair, and it never lets up.
