Precision
Wing Master
Scores how well you flew, not just whether you survived. The centre band of every gate is worth chasing.
Gap Hunter
Gap Hunter has one rule: every gate you clear makes the next one narrower. It starts generous and ends at a width where the flyer barely fits with room for a single correction — and then it stops, because past that point a game stops testing accuracy and starts testing luck.

How to Play Gap Hunter
- Press Start and flap with Space, W, Arrow Up or a tap.
- Each gate you clear makes the next one 2.4 units narrower, from 235 down to a floor of 92.
- Scroll speed stays low throughout — this is an accuracy test, not a speed test.
- Arrive level and centred. At narrow widths, a diagonal approach has almost no margin.
- Gates passed is the recorded personal best.
Objective
Pass as many gates as possible. Each one you clear narrows the next by 2.4 units, down to a floor of 92. Gates passed is the recorded result.
Controls

About Gap Hunter
The shrink is 2.4 units per gate, starting from 235 and stopping at 92. That means it takes about sixty gates to reach the floor, which is beyond what most players will ever see — but the point is that the floor exists and is where it is. Ninety-two units is roughly three flyer diameters: tight, unmistakably tight, and passable by a steady hand.
Scroll speed is held deliberately low and rises only slightly. This is not a speed game and combining the two would have been cruel rather than interesting. What rises instead is the penalty for imprecision — at 200 units you can be 40 units off centre and still fly through; at 100 you cannot be 20 units off.
The characteristic failure is nerve rather than skill. Somewhere around the 25th gate the openings start to look impossible, and players begin over-correcting — flapping twice where one would do, aborting an approach that was fine. The gates at that point are still nearly twice the flyer's height. Almost every death in the middle of a Gap Hunter run is a player beating themselves.
The recorded metric is gates passed rather than score, because gates passed is the same thing as how narrow you got. It is the cleanest measure on the site of pure altitude control.
Flying Mechanics
Gap Hunter uses the site's shared flight model: gravity acts continuously on your vertical velocity, a flap sets that velocity rather than adding to it, and hard caps on rise and fall speed mean no situation is ever unrecoverable. The mechanics this game leans on are Flapping, Gravity, Narrow Gaps and timing.
If you want the numbers behind that, how flappy-style games work sets out the whole model, and how flapping mechanics work explains why a flap that sets velocity behaves so differently from one that adds to it.
Gap Hunter Tips & Strategy
- The gates look impossible around number 25 and are still nearly twice your height. Trust that.
- Over-correction kills more Gap Hunter runs than narrow gaps do. One flap, not two.
- Arrive level and central. At narrow widths there is no margin for a diagonal entry.
- Do not speed up as gaps narrow — the scroll speed is low precisely so you can take your time.
- If you are consistently clipping the top, you are flapping while already rising. Wait a beat.

Gap Hunter — FAQ
How narrow do the gaps actually get?
They shrink by 2.4 units per gate from 235 down to a hard floor of 92 logical units, which is roughly three flyer diameters. It takes about sixty gates to reach the floor.
Is the narrowest gap genuinely passable?
Yes. The floor is set above the width at which a gap would require a flap to land on a specific frame. It is tight and demands a steady hand, but control is sufficient — luck is not required.
Why does this game feel impossible around gate 25?
Because the gaps have visibly narrowed but are still nearly twice your height. What usually happens at that point is over-correction: two flaps where one would do, and an abandoned approach that was actually fine.
