About Flappy Bird 2
This is Flappy Bird 2 unblocked: the game loads straight from flappybird2.com in your browser, so you can play Flappy Bird 2 online free on a school Chromebook, a laptop or a phone with no download and no sign-up.
The original Flappy Bird was released in 2013 by Dong Nguyen, became the most-downloaded free game on both app stores in early 2014, and was pulled by its own creator weeks later — he said it had become too addictive. One tap to flap, one gap to clear, one collision to end it.
This sequel keeps the mechanic untouched because there is nothing to improve: gravity pulls you down, a tap pushes you up, and the pipes never move. Everything difficult about it comes from how small the margin is between those two forces.
How to play
- Tap, click or press the space bar to make the bird flap upward. It falls constantly when you do not.
- Fly through the gap between each pair of pipes. Touching a pipe or the ground ends the run. Flying off the top of the screen does not, but the bird cannot flap again until it drops back into view.
- Each pipe cleared is one point. The spacing does not get harder — you get more tired.
Controls
- Space bar / Left click
- Flap.
- Touch
- Tap anywhere on the screen.
Tips
- Stay in the lower half of the gap. The bird falls faster than it climbs: a flap launches it at 650 pixels a second on a screen 960 pixels tall, while the fall builds up to 1,000.
- Know the size of a flap. One flap lifts the bird about 94 pixels and peaks after about 0.3 seconds. The gap between pipes is about 230 pixels, so it holds roughly two and a half flaps.
- Find a rhythm and keep it. Every flap is the same size however long you hold the button, so timing is the only thing you control.
- Never panic-tap. Two taps 0.15 seconds apart lift the bird about 165 pixels, which uses up most of the gap.
- Do not tap early out of fear. The flap reverses the fall the moment you tap, with no wind-up, so you can wait until the bird is just above the lower pipe.
- Ignore the score while you are flying. Looking at the number is how good runs end at pipe twenty.
Medals
When a run ends, the score board shows the score of that run, your best score and a medal. The medal depends only on the run you just played:
- Under 5 points — no medal.
- 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 points each unlock the next of the five medals. Forty pipes in one run earns the top medal.
Your best score is kept in your browser on this device. Playing in a private window, or clearing site data, starts the best score again from zero.
How this version differs from the original Flappy Bird
- The bird is a black crow, and the game's own title screen calls it Flappy Crow. The pipes are brown and the background is green hills.
- The original Flappy Bird gave bronze at 10, silver at 20, gold at 30 and platinum at 40 points. This version adds an extra first medal at 5, so new players get one sooner.
- Pipes scroll at one constant speed and appear at a steady interval for the whole run. Only the height of each gap is random, so there is no speed-up to wait out — the run is as hard at pipe 50 as at pipe 5.
- A chime plays for every pipe you clear and a crash sound when you hit something, so you can keep the rhythm by ear.
Frequently asked questions
Is Flappy Bird 2 unblocked at school?
Flappy Bird 2 runs in an ordinary browser tab from flappybird2.com, with nothing to download or install, so it plays on most school Chromebooks and work computers. If a network filter blocks the site, only that network's administrator can change it.
Why was Flappy Bird removed from the app stores?
Its creator, Dong Nguyen, took it down in February 2014, saying the game had become too addictive and the attention was unmanageable. It was not removed by Apple or Google.
Is there a trick to Flappy Bird?
Only rhythm. The pipe gaps are a fixed size and randomly positioned, so consistency beats reaction.
What is a good score?
Getting past 10 puts you ahead of most first-time players. 40 earns the top medal, and anything above that is genuinely good.
Does it save my high score?
Yes, in your browser on the device you play on. It is not shared between devices, and a private window or clearing site data resets it.
Can I play it on a phone?
Yes. Tap anywhere on the screen to flap.
