Night Flap

If you have five spare minutes, Night Flap will fill them. Everything happens on one screen with gaps that start at 36% of the screen and shrink with every point, and the whole thing runs straight in the browser - no downloads, no sign-ups, no fuss.

Night Flap, round by round

Scoring is per pipe, and the difficulty comes from variety - gap heights drift up and down the screen, so no two pipes arrive the same way. The ramp is honest: nothing suddenly teleports, the world just stops forgiving lazy taps.

Short breaks, long streaks

Nothing here needs a tutorial or a wiki. Controls are one gesture, the goal is one sentence, and the difficulty comes from execution rather than homework. That is exactly what a browser game should be.

How to play

1. Press play, then tap to make your bird flap upward.
2. Thread the gaps between the pipes - each pipe passed scores one.
3. Miss a gap or hit the ground and the run ends.
4. Chase your best score; the speed and gaps tighten as you score.

Where it sits

Flap through the pipes. One tap, one life, endless sky.

A note on the stamp

The board is easy to read and the difficulty is Medium, so the interesting decision is not whether you can play it but when. Its rating across our own notes is 4.5 out of five.

Keep it if you play in short bursts. It rewards a second attempt far more than a first, and the second attempt costs nothing but the tap.
