Detailed Answer
Flappy Bird requires precise timing - each tap or click makes the bird jump/flap upward, while gravity pulls it down. Navigate through vertical gaps in green pipes. The game ends if you touch a pipe or the ground or ceiling. High score strategy: stay in the lower-middle portion of the screen for maximum reaction time, tap with consistent rhythm, aim for the center of gaps, and don't over-correct. The game speeds up slightly as you progress, so staying focused is crucial.
