Flappy Bird Retro recreates the feel of the 2013 classic with original artwork: a flat cyan sky, a bank of clouds above the horizon, striped grass and chunky green pipes. If you're here out of nostalgia, you're in the right place — and if you're wondering where the original went, the short history is below.
No — the original was removed from app stores by its creator Dong Nguyen in February 2014 and was never re-released. This is an original tribute in the same retro style, playable free in your browser.
It was never banned. Nguyen voluntarily pulled it, saying he was uncomfortable with how addictive it had become. The overnight disappearance is why so many people still search for a ban that never happened.
The physics are the same, but the retro edition swaps the forest for classic pipes and cycles between day, sunset, night and dawn skies, so pipe visibility changes as your score climbs.
Free to play, no download, scores saved on your device — one of thirteen games at Flappy Bird Flappy.
Flappy Bird Flappy is a website where you can play flappy bird games online for free, right in your browser. There is nothing to download, no APK to install and no account to create — every game on this site is a lightweight HTML5 flappy bird game that loads in seconds on desktop, phone or tablet. Because the games run entirely in the browser, they also work as flappy bird unblocked games on school and work networks where app stores are restricted.
Pick from four one-tap games: Flappy Bird, the classic-style Flappy Bird Retro, Flappy Plane and Flappy Dunk. Every game includes Endless, Streak and Daily Run modes, so there is always a new high score to chase.

This is a free flappy bird game online — tap, click or press space to flap a little pixel bird through the gaps, and see how far you can fly. It plays instantly in your browser with no download, which also makes it a great flappy bird unblocked option for school breaks. Your best score is saved on your device, so you can keep coming back to beat it.
Small, steady taps beat big panicked ones. Keep the bird near the middle of the gap, tap in a rhythm rather than reacting to each obstacle, and plan your line one gap ahead. In this version, catching parcels builds a score multiplier, so a clean streak of pickups raises your flappy bird high score much faster than survival alone.
For the original 2013 game, players have reported verified runs reaching scores in the high hundreds and claims into the thousands, though there is no single official record keeper. On this site, every game tracks your personal best per mode — and the Daily Run gives everyone in the world the same course each day, so you can compare scores fairly with friends.
The one-tap control is easy to learn but unforgiving: gravity never stops, and one touch ends the run. That razor-thin margin is exactly what makes beating your best score feel so good.
Missing the old version of flappy bird? This retro edition recreates that classic feel with original artwork: a flat blue sky, a bank of white clouds, striped grass and chunky green flappy bird pipes with wide lips. Same one-tap gameplay, same brutal difficulty — playable free in your browser with no download.
The original Flappy Bird was released in 2013 by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen and became a worldwide phenomenon in early 2014. It was never banned by app stores — in February 2014 the creator chose to remove it himself, saying he was uncomfortable with how addictive it had become. Phones with the game already installed were briefly resold for large sums.
Because the game vanished from app stores overnight, many players assumed it had been banned. In reality it was voluntarily taken down by its creator. Since you can no longer download the original, browser versions like this retro edition are the easiest way to get that classic experience today.
The pipes are the vertical obstacles you must fly between — each pair leaves one gap, and passing through it scores a point. In this retro edition, the pipe gap positions change every run in Endless mode, while the Daily Run uses one fixed pipe layout shared by every player worldwide.
Flappy Plane takes the one-tap flying formula of flappy bird games and adds an engine: you pilot a tiny pixel mail plane through sunset canyon mesas, and fuel drains as you fly. Grab canisters to keep the propeller spinning, catch mail parcels to build a score multiplier, and see how far you can deliver. Play online free in your browser — no download, works on mobile and desktop.
The core control is the same — tap to climb, release to drop — but the fuel system changes how you fly. Run dry and the engine stalls, making the plane heavy and hard to lift, so route planning around fuel canisters matters as much as dodging the mesas.
Endless (classic survival with fuel and multipliers), Streak (no fuel, but you must catch every parcel), and Daily Run (one fixed course per day, shared by every player worldwide — perfect for challenging friends).
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no install. Your best scores are saved locally on your own device.
Flappy Dunk turns the flappy bird formula into street basketball: tap to bounce a spinning pixel ball and swish it through hoop after hoop, from sunny city courts to glowing night arenas. Keep your stamina up with energy drinks, collect gold balls for combo multipliers, and grab shields for a second chance. Free to play online in your browser — no download needed, on mobile or desktop.
Tap the screen, click, or press space to bounce upward; release to drop. Pass between the rims to score, and avoid touching the rims, the towers or the floor. Small rhythmic taps keep the ball far steadier than big bounces.
Endless (survive and stack gold-ball multipliers), Streak (catch every single gold ball or the run ends), and Daily Run (one fixed hoop layout per day for the whole world — post your score and challenge friends).
Yes — it's a lightweight HTML5 game with touch controls that runs smoothly on Android and iPhone, in portrait or landscape, as well as on desktop.
