Tap & Fly belongs to the "Flappy" genre where controlling simulated gravity is everything. 90% of deaths come from the same mistake: panic. Learning to maintain calm and rhythm matters more than quick reflexes.
Each tap adds upward impulse, but gravity always pulls down and accumulates. Stop tapping for 1 second: you fall slowly. Stop for 2 seconds: you fall fast. Stop for 3 seconds: you plummet. The key is never letting fall speed accumulate too much.
The ideal flight height is roughly the lower third of each obstacle's gap. Why? Because if the next obstacle's gap is higher, you only need to rise. If it's lower, you can descend in a controlled manner. Flying high leaves no margin to drop quickly.
Don't hold long taps — they generate too much impulse and you lose control. The correct rhythm is brief, frequent taps, like tapping the beat of a slow song. This rhythm lets you adjust height millimeter by millimeter.
Classic mistake: watching the obstacle walls. Train your eyes to look at the center of the gap in the next obstacle. That's your target. The walls are visual noise — the gap is the relevant information.
If you hit the ceiling, you bounce downward (you don't die). In emergency situations where you're rising too fast, a controlled ceiling bounce can save you. Don't plan for it, but don't panic if it happens.
