Use echolocation to navigate an adorable green bat to the highest score! Just tap to fly, it is as simple as that! LORE: Flappy was not like the other bats. For starters, he was neon green. Though bats are not disposed to judge a book by its cover, bats are by and large are simple folk. They fly during the night and sleep during the day. Flappy wasn't strange for the radioactive pallor of his skin in the moonlight. Flappy was strange because he didn't sleep, he dreamed. He dreamed to hear the world, and to flap in un-flapped lands, and ... most of all ... to find love. And one day, Flappy's dream came true when he met Flappina. It was love at first sound. Flappina and Flappy were happy. Until Flappina's father, the Cave King (largely a figurehead), declared there to be a tournament for his daughter's wing in holy batrimony. Flappy and Flappina were devastated. Fortunately Flappina was a renowned bat-strophysicist with a hobby for ancient bat-botany. So Flappina devised a plan, while Flappy spent all hours of the night flying the abyssal caves, she read the sacred texts and current scientific literature. On the dusk of the tournament, she met Flappy in secret. "My love, my heart is heavy, I cannot possibly beat the noblest nights of the bat-dom" he said. "There is a way my love," she said, "Following the lost secrets of the sages and the best understanding of modern bat-strophysics, I have crafted a potion sure to make you the greatest flapper of all." "How does it work? Will it hurt? Is it vegan?" asked Flappy skeptically. "It is vegan." responded Flappina reassuringly, "This is the only way for us to be together squeakheart... I love you" Flappy took one last look into his lover's eyes... "I know" ...and he drank the potion. Instantly, he was launched into a vision beyond the bounds of his Euclidian reality. His uncomprehending minds-ear beheld a terrifying being of ineffable size, dimension, and power. In the hand of this being, Flappy perceived a portal to a cave where his body was flapping. Above him a gargantuan strange alien text proclaimed: T A P T O F L A P. In utter cosmic horror, Flappy felt the titanic thumb thunder down towards the portal. And in the moment of impact - he found himself flapping through a cave? Not just any cave! This was the tournament cave! It's all come down to this! He would be the greatest flapper of all time or he would forever lose his love - his dream. He knew what he had to do.
