A skill-based arcade roguelite where every flight makes the next one stronger.
Flapforge keeps the one-button loop of the classic — flap, dodge, survive, score — and gives every run a larger purpose. Dying still ends the flight, but never the journey: each run pays coins and experience, and what you earn unlocks birds, abilities, worlds, modifiers, challenges and permanent upgrades that make the next run different from the last.
The home hub: your bird on the forge, the world you will fly next, the nearest unlock and one big START RUN.
Start a run → fly → dodge → score → draft a modifier → face the boss → die or clear
↑ ↓
choose the next build ← unlock or upgrade ← receive coins and XP ←──────┘
Skill decides the run; meta-progression decides what skill gets to work with. Everything is local and deterministic: seeds, dailies and records live in a crash-safe save on your machine, and there are no online services, accounts or leaderboards.
- Getting Started — requirements, downloads, running from source, launch flags and where your save lives.
- Home Hub — a tour of the first screen: the player card, the world plaque, the forge, the next-unlock card, START RUN and the bottom navigation.
- Controls — keys, mouse, touch and rebinding.
- Playing a Run — what happens between READY and the run summary, and how rewards are paid.
