Welcome, fearless divers and aspiring high-scorers, to the official guide for Flappy Fish! If you're looking for a simple yet challenging game that will test your reflexes and keep you hooked, you've come to the right place. Our little fish is waiting for your help to navigate the treacherous underwater world.

How to Play: The Basics

The premise of Flappy Fish is elegantly simple:

  • Tap to Swim: A single tap on your screen (or a press of the Spacebar on desktop) makes our fish flap its fins and swim upwards. The key is to find the right rhythm to maintain altitude.
  • Avoid the Pipes: Your main goal is to guide the fish through the gaps in the oncoming coral pipes. Timing is everything! Touching a pipe or the ground ends the game.
  • Stay Off the Ground (and Sky!): Don't let the fish hit the seabed or fly too high off the screen.

One wrong move, and it's game over... but don't worry, you can always try again! That's the beauty of Flappy Fish.

Exciting Features to Discover:

Flappy Fish isn't just about avoiding pipes. We've added some exciting elements to make your gameplay even more engaging:

  • Golden Stars (★): Collect these shiny stars scattered between pipes to boost your star count, displayed alongside your score. They add an extra layer of challenge and reward.
  • Red Star Power-Up (★): Grab this rare, pulsating red star to become invincible for a short period! You'll glow and automatically pass through pipes, giving you a breather and a chance for easy points.
  • The Monster Fish: Beware! A menacing monster fish might appear from the right, adding a thrilling chase element. Survive its appearance for bonus points (+5). If you have the red star power-up active when you encounter it, you'll defeat the monster for even more points (+10 Monster!).

Climb the Leaderboard:

Think you've got what it takes to be the best? Every point counts! If your score makes it to the Top 100 globally, you can submit your name and etch it onto our official online leaderboard. The Top 10 are even featured on the game's start screen, offering ultimate bragging rights!

Tips for a High Score:

  1. Find Your Rhythm: Consistent, gentle taps are often better than frantic ones. Practice makes perfect.
  2. Focus Ahead: Look at the upcoming pipes and plan your path, not just the fish's current position.
  3. Stay Calm: Panicking leads to mistakes. Take a deep breath, especially when the pressure is on.
  4. Use Power-ups Strategically: Save that red star for tricky sections or when you anticipate the monster fish.
