how to play

Everything is one input: space, W, ↑, a click or a tap makes the dog flap upward. Let go and gravity takes over. Thread the gaps between the pipes, stay off the ground and ceiling, and watch out for the cats patrolling below — they are obstacles, not friends.

You get 5 lives per run. Each hit costs one, followed by a short invincibility window where the dog flashes. Every pipe cleared is a point, and every 10 points the pipes get faster and spawn quicker. Your best score is saved in your browser. ESC pauses the run.
