Sky Hopper is a free one tap flying game in the spirit of the famous flappy bird craze. Guide a little bird through gaps in the towers and try to win bronze, silver and gold medals. It runs in your browser with no download or sign up, works on phone and desktop, and keeps working offline once loaded.
Inspired by: Flappy style one tap games (2013).
How to play Sky Hopper
- Press Play, then tap, click or press Space to make the bird flap upward.
- Between flaps the bird falls, so keep a steady rhythm of taps.
- Fly through the gap between each pair of towers to score one point.
- Touching a tower or the ground ends the run.
- Reach 10 points for bronze, 20 for silver and 40 for gold.
Controls
- Keyboard: Space, Up arrow or W to flap. P to pause.
- Mouse: Click anywhere on the game to flap.
- Touch screen: Tap anywhere on the game screen to flap.
Tips to score higher
- Use small, even taps instead of big panicky ones. Calm taps keep the bird level.
- Look at the next gap, not at the bird. Decide early whether to climb or sink.
- Do not tap just after you pass a tower unless the next gap is higher. Let the bird drift.
- If you fail early, relax your thumb. Most crashes come from tapping too fast.
The story behind Sky Hopper
One tap games exploded in popularity in 2013 when a tiny bird game with simple controls and a very steep challenge went viral on phones. It showed that a game does not need many buttons or levels to be addictive. You only need one action, instant restarts and the feeling that the next run will be better. Millions of people shared scores and laughed at their own near misses. Many of us remember sitting with a phone, saying just one more try and then losing an hour. Sky Hopper brings that same one tap challenge to the browser with its own bird and its own skyline.
