About Flip Tunnel
Flip Tunnel is a one-tap gravity runner. Your orb climbs a glowing tunnel, held against one wall by gravity; tap to flip the pull and throw it across to the opposite wall. Bars rush down with a single gap in each one. Thread the gap and the tunnel speeds up, the openings narrow and the rhythm tightens until one mistimed flip ends the run.
You get three lives and your best score stays in this browser. It is a game about committing early: hesitate for half a beat and the gap is already past you. There is no steering, no jumping and no aiming — the only decision is when to flip.
How to play
- Tap anywhere (or press Space) to flip gravity and cross to the other wall.
- Line yourself up with the gap in the approaching bar before it reaches you.
- Keep flipping as the tunnel speeds up — the gaps get narrower with every round.
- The run ends when your lives are gone; beat your best score.
Tips & tricks
- Flip early rather than late: the orb keeps its momentum through the turn.
- Avoid double-tapping — two quick flips put you back on the wall you just left.
- Once the speed rises, count the rhythm of the bars; reacting late stops working.
Scoring & progression
- Clearing a bar adds to your score; consecutive clean passes keep the run alive and push the speed up.
- A collision costs one of your three lives rather than deducting points, so the score reflects how far you travelled, not a health bar.
- There is no coin currency, upgrade shop or purchasable multiplier. Progression is the increasing speed and narrowing gaps.
- The finished run reports its score to the portal, which converts it into XP, personal-best tracking and possible badge or daily-challenge progress.
Stages & bosses
- Opening bars — wide gaps at a gentle scroll speed.
- Acceleration — every cleared bar raises the scroll speed.
- Narrow gaps — openings shrink until a late flip no longer fits.
- Three-life run — the run ends when all lives are gone. There is no boss, level cap or stage select.
