📖 About Spikes & Feathers
Guide a nimble bird through a hand-drawn world, tapping in rhythm to avoid deadly spikes and master the art of flight.
Spikes & Feathers is a precision-based arcade game set in a beautiful, hand-drawn world. You control an agile bird navigating through corridors lined with spikes, where survival depends entirely on your sense of rhythm and timing . Every tap or click gives the bird a small lift against gravity, and you must find a steady tapping pattern to maintain a safe altitude while slipping through increasingly narrow gaps .
The game's charm lies in its contrast: a calming, sketchbook-style aesthetic paired with a genuinely demanding challenge. As you progress, spike patterns become more complex and awkwardly placed, forcing you to constantly adapt your flight path rather than relying on a single rhythm . It's not about speed—it's about control, precision, and the patience to refine a single skill . The game runs in portrait orientation directly in your browser on desktop, mobile, and tablet, with no download required

🎮 How to Play
Desktop: Click the Left Mouse Button or press the Spacebar to make the bird flap and rise .
Mobile: Tap the screen to flap. The game uses portrait orientation, so hold your device upright .
Objective: Keep the bird airborne and avoid touching any spikes. A single collision ends your run.
Tip: Find a steady tapping rhythm before trying to go far—small, frequent taps give finer control than panicked bursts . Keep your eyes one obstacle ahead, not fixed on the bird, and adjust your rhythm when the gap geometry changes rather than carrying the same pattern through every section .
