Flappy Ball

The ball climbs on every press and falls under gravity the moment the finger lifts. A whole run is nothing more than finding the balance between those two forces, with no other action available.

Consistency beats speed. Press at an even tempo and the ball travels along a predictable wave, which makes lining up the next gap far easier. Trouble starts with a startled flurry of taps, which turns that wave into a sawtooth and takes the flight path out of your hands entirely.

Short runs and instant restarts mean this is genuinely trainable in a few minutes. Try pressing more slowly than instinct suggests and watch whether the score moves. For most people it does, which is the opposite of what the first few attempts seem to teach.
