How to control Falling Falcon
ActionKeyboard / mouseTouch
Flap Space or click Tap canvas
Start / retry Space or click Tap

One input: flap. Mouse click, tap, or Space. There is a short grace hover at the start of a run so the first pipe is not a cheap death. After a crash you get Play Again or Watch Ad to Continue. Continue respawns in the middle of the field with your score intact and another grace beat. Do not hold Space — the game ignores key repeat so a held key is not a turbo cheat. On mobile, tap the center of the canvas; edge taps still work but are easier to miss when the bird is climbing.

Strategy and tips

Flap on the downbeat, not in a panic burst. Aim for the center of each gap and ignore coins of greed near the pipe lips. If speed-up lands, shorten your flap cadence; if gravity-up lands, flap twice as often and accept a lower line. Shrink: fly tighter lines you would not attempt at default size. Grow: take the fat middle and skip fancy threads. After a near miss, do not flap just because you are scared — wait until the bird’s nose drops through the gap axis. Continues are for a personal-best attempt, not for farming a screenshot. Three clean pipes in a row beat one lucky fifty.

Why this cabinet exists

One-button flyers exploded in the early 2010s because a phone could run them and a bus ride was long enough. Falling Falcon keeps that contract: 4:3 canvas, ground strip, pipe pairs, and five modifiers (speed up, speed down, grow, shrink, extra gravity) that last ten seconds and replace each other. Difficulty sneaks in as you pass packs of obstacles — gaps tighten and world speed ticks up. It ships as one HTML file so GamesArsenal can iframe it beside the other cabinets. The rename from an earlier working title was only cosmetic; the save key still remembers old highs on this machine.
