Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the best technique to navigate tight pipe gaps?

Maintain a steady tapping cadence. Avoid large erratic flaps; instead, time short, gentle flaps just before entering a pipe gap so your trajectory peaks inside the opening.

Q What does the Invincibility Shield do?

Collecting a blue shield envelops your bird in a protective bubble that absorbs a single pipe collision without losing a life.

Q What is Zen Mode?

Zen Mode features extra-wide pipe gaps, reduced gravity, and instant respawns, allowing players of all ages to enjoy stress-free casual flight.
