In Flap:Up, users tap the screen to maintain a colorful character in the air as it tries to fly through a variety of obstacles. The goal is straightforward but difficult: score as many points as you can while avoiding obstacles and gathering power-ups. The gameplay of the game consists of a constantly scrolling area with a variety of obstacles, including walls, moving pipes, and other traps. The character flaps its wings and soars upwards when the tapping is used to regulate its movement. Players must continuously modify their timing to avoid striking obstacles in this rhythmic challenge, which is created by letting go of the tap and allowing gravity to draw the character back down.
