YugaTech plays Flappy Bird, how to get high scores

From its rise to its seeming end, Flappy Bird has taken a lot of attention and interest from people – including us. In schools, workplaces and even in malls, you can find people engaging in the game. We took a little time and effort to show you how we play it and what other people do to get high scores so read on and watch the video we prepared down below.

FLAPPY BIRD

Don’t install the game, unless you want to try it, fail and/or lose your mind trying so hard.
Uninstall the game if you need to move on and do something productive.
Don’t touch that birdy. It’s already flying straight anyway; tapping it to start the game will just make life for it a lot harder.
Smash your phone (aka permanent uninstall, not recommeneded).
Play on bigger screens – I don’t, but a lot of our high-scoring friends do. It might help.
Practice.
Fly lower to have allowance to catch up.
Have fun (or at least try to) – one of my friends always sings the phrase “Flap My Bird” in some random tune and he gets up to 50.

One of my friends also has her Flappy Bird game in slow motion (I’m assuming it’s because of slow internals).

What tips would you give to get higher scores? Feel free to leave a comment down below. For more of Flappy Bird coverage, click through our links here:

Toinks! Kala ko ipapakita in time lapse how the 12k points got hehehehe but anyway true, if you just want to try it, install it then play, if frustration got into you, uninstall the game…thats the high score you got. :-)

My son installed it here in his ipad, after playing it for 5 minutes, he uninstall it due to frustration… ;-)

The saying “practice makes perfect” does not apply to this stupid and cheater-infested leaderboards (see the ridiculous 21M score makers in Google Play leaderboards) game.

I’d rather play the worst game in gaming history (which is the game adaptation of the movie “E.T. Extraterrestrial”) than this piece of overrated crappy bird.

It took me 5 days before I broke the 40+ barrier (42 to be exact) … heto and tip ko

COVER the score with an masking tape so that hindi ka mako-conscious at matataranta as you begin to rack up those points.

There’s NO effective tip sa flying technique, do what works for you, and practice non-stop using YOUR home-brewed trick

6. Practice.
7. Fly lower to have allowance to catch up.

Those are the two things necessary to get a high score. I have played it for only three days and my record is already 144.

No, a bigger screen will not help. I got my high score on my 4.8-inch mobile phone and not on my iPad.

Do #8 too. Have fun. Don’t take the game seriously.
