PipeBird
One tap. One flap. Don't hit the pipes.
PipeBird isn't released yet — we'll turn this on the day it ships.
Stupid simple.
Stupidly addictive.
PipeBird takes the classic one-button arcade formula and strips it down to its purest form. No tutorials, no menus, no friction — just you, a bird, and an endless row of pipes waiting to end your run.
Tap to flap
One tap on the screen and your bird flaps upward. Tap again to stay aloft. That's the entire control scheme — your reflexes do the rest.
Mind the gap
Pipes scroll in from the right. Find the opening, time your flaps, and thread the bird through. One brush against a pipe and it's over.
Chase the score
Every pipe cleared is a point. Every run ends in a crash. Beat your own best, beat your friends' best, then pick it up and try again.

Privacy Policy
The short version: PipeBird collects no analytics, no personal data, and no tracking identifiers. The only third-party service we use is Google Play Games Services — and only to sync your save progress across devices. That's it.
Overview
PipeBird is built with a privacy-first mindset. We believe a casual arcade game shouldn't need to know who you are, where you are, or what else you do on your phone. This policy explains, in plain language, exactly what data the game touches and why.
If anything here is unclear, you're welcome to reach out — contact details are at the bottom of this page.
Data we do not collect
To be explicit about what isn't happening behind the scenes:
- No analytics. PipeBird does not collect event data, session metrics, crash reports via third-party SDKs, or any usage statistics. We don't know how often you play, how far you get, or when you quit.
- No advertising SDKs. There are no ad networks integrated. No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded videos. Nothing tracks you to serve ads inside or outside the game.
- No personal information. We don't ask for your name, email, age, or location. The game never prompts you to create an account with us.
- No device identifiers. We do not access advertising IDs, IMEI, serial numbers, or any other hardware-level identifier.
- No third-party sharing. Because we don't collect data, there's nothing to share, sell, or transfer to any third party — ever.
Google Play Games Services
PipeBird integrates with Google Play Games Services for one purpose only: cloud save and progress syncing. This lets you keep your high score and settings when you switch devices or reinstall the game.
When you sign in to Google Play Games from within PipeBird (this is optional — the game is fully playable without signing in):
- Your Google account identity is handled by Google Play Games Services directly. PipeBird never sees or stores your password or account credentials.
- A cloud save slot is created under your Google Play Games profile, containing only your game progress (high score, settings, unlock state).
- Sign-in and data transmission occur between your device and Google's servers. PipeBird does not operate a backend for this game — no PipeBird server is involved in the exchange.
The data stored in your cloud save is limited to what's needed to restore your game state. It does not include anything beyond game progress.
You can review and manage Google Play Games data — including revoking access and deleting cloud saves — from your Google Account → Security → Third-party apps with account access settings at any time.
Local data on your device
PipeBird stores the following locally on your device:
- Your high score and game settings (such as sound on/off).
This data lives in the app's private storage. It is not transmitted anywhere unless you sign in to Google Play Games Services, in which case it syncs to your Google account as described above. Uninstalling the game removes this local data entirely.
Children's privacy
PipeBird is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone, including children. Google Play Games Services sign-in is gated behind standard Google account authentication and is never required to play.
Changes to this policy
If this privacy policy changes in a future version of the game, the updated policy will be shipped with the new build and posted on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
