How to Play Jetstream

The goal

Tap to flap Byte the courier drone through gaps in a scrolling skyworld without hitting the energy gates.

Jetstream is a one-tap arcade flyer in the Flappy Bird tradition. You keep Byte, a courier drone, aloft by tapping to flap against gravity, threading through gap after gap in a parallax skyworld that shifts from day to dusk to night as you go. One clip of an energy gate and the run is over.

Controls

• Space, up arrow, or tap anywhere to flap upward
• Byte falls constantly, so tap in a steady rhythm to hold your height
• On mobile, tap the screen to flap
• P or Esc to pause

Strategy and scoring tips

• Fly through the middle of each gap. Aiming dead center gives you the most margin for a mistimed flap.
• Tap in a light, even rhythm rather than panicking upward. Over-flapping into the ceiling ends as many runs as falling.
• Look one gap ahead so you are already lining up your height for the next opening, not reacting to it late.
