Square Bird: Jump the Little Bird Past Every Trap

What is Square Bird?
Square Bird is a one-touch platform game starring a cheerful square bird. Every level sets out its own run of obstacles and traps, and you jump the bird through them to the end. The coins you pick up unlock new bird looks.
How to play
The bird rises while you hold the tap or click and falls when you let go. Spikes, moving blocks and gaps mean finding the right height is pure timing. Coins sit along the route and buy new looks in the shop. Touch a trap and the level restarts, though the levels are short enough that another attempt costs you seconds.

Tips
- Use short taps rather than one long hold, since height control is where the real skill sits.
- On a hard level, forget the coins and learn the route first. The coins will still be there next attempt.
- If a moving obstacle leaves you a spot to wait in, wait. Once you catch its rhythm it opens up.
