Floppy Canary
HOW TO PLAY
Master both flap types to navigate pipes precisely. Glide gives you a short, controlled hop, perfect for fine adjustments. Fly launches you higher, great for clearing big gaps or recovering from a dive. After falling long enough, your canary tilts nose-down and drops faster, so don't wait too long to flap!
CONTROLS
❎ (Z) - Short flat to glide
🅾️ (X) - Long flap to fly
GAMEPLAY

BALLOONS 🎈
Balloons float across the screen at random. Fly into them for bonus points!
- Red: +10 points
- Blue: +25 points
- Pink: +50 points
SPEED LEVELS
The game gets faster as your score climbs. Pipes and balloons scroll quicker at each threshold:
- x2 speed at 50 points
- x3 speed at 250 points
- x4 speed at 500 points
- x5 speed at 1000 points
A speed notification flashes on screen each time the pace increases. Plan ahead, gaps that felt easy at x1 become deadly at x5!

TIPS
- Use Glide ❎ for small adjustments near tight gaps
- Use Fly 🅾️ to recover from deep falls quickly
- Watch your canary's tilt! nose-down means you're falling fast.
- Don't panic when speed increases!
