How to Play Happy Flappy CLone – Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to [Your Game Name]! In this fun 2D game, you control a bird navigating through moving pipes while avoiding obstacles. Your goal is to score points by passing pipes and survive as long as possible. Here’s how to get started and play like a pro!

Step 1: Launch the Game

1. Open the Game:
   • If you’re in Unity: Open the project, select the main scene (e.g., “GameScene”), and click the Play button at the top.
   • If it’s built: Double-click the game executable (e.g., [YourGameName].exe) on your computer.
2. Wait for the Menu:
   • You’ll see a start screen with a “Start” button, a starry background, scrolling clouds at the top, and some chill pre-game music playing.

Step 2: Start Playing

1. Click the Start Button:
   • Find the “Start” button in the center of the screen.
   • Click it with your mouse. You’ll hear a button sound effect (like a click or beep), and the button will stay visible for 3 seconds before disappearing.
2. Game Begins:
   • The bird appears on the left side of the screen.
   • Pipes start moving from right to left, and the gameplay music kicks in.

Step 3: Control the Bird

1. Flap the Wings:
   • Press the Spacebar on your keyboard to make the bird flap its wings and fly upward.
   • You’ll hear a flap sound effect each time you press it.
   • Let go, and the bird will fall gently due to gravity—keep tapping to stay in the air!
2. Watch the Speed:
   • The longer you play, the stronger the bird’s flaps get (up to a max), making it a bit easier to dodge obstacles.

Step 4: Navigate the Pipes

1. Pass Through Gaps:
   • Steer the bird through the gaps between the moving pipes (they go up and down too!).
   • Each time you pass a pipe pair, you earn 1 point. You’ll see your score update on the screen.
2. Avoid Hitting Pipes:
   • If the bird touches a pipe, you’ll hear a hit sound, lose 5 points, and lose 1 life (starting with 3 lives).
   • The screen shakes a bit to let you know you’ve hit something.

Step 5: Stay in Bounds

• Don’t Fall Too Low:
  • If the bird drops below the bottom of the screen (Y < -5), it’s game over! You’ll hear a dramatic game over sound effect.
• Keep Going:
  • The pipes speed up over time (up to a max), so stay sharp!

Step 6: Track Your Progress

• Check the UI:
  • Top-left: Lives (starts at 3)—shows how many hits you can take.
  • Top-center: Time—how long you’ve survived in seconds.
  • Top-right: Score—your points (1 per pipe passed, -5 per hit).
• Volume Slider:
  • Bottom of the screen: Adjust the slider to control music and sound effect volume (left = mute, right = full).

Step 7: Game Over and Restart

1. Game Ends:
   • Lose all 3 lives or fall out of bounds, and it’s game over.
   • You’ll hear the game over sound, then see your Final Time and Final Score for 3 seconds.
2. Restart:
   • After 3 seconds, the “Start” button reappears with the pre-game music.
   • Click it to play again—everything resets (lives, score, bird position).

Tips for Success

• Timing is Key: Tap the Spacebar rhythmically to keep the bird steady.
• Watch the Pipes: They move up and down—anticipate the gaps.
• Score High: Pass as many pipes as you can without hitting them, since hits cost 5 points each!
• Enjoy the Vibes: The clouds scroll at the top, and the music keeps you in the zone.
