Play Tuby Bird Online

Game Overview

Tuby Bird (or Vogel Flieh if you're feeling fancy) is one of those weird little Atari 2600 gems that somehow makes dodging pipes with a blocky bird way more tense than it should be. Your bird—basically a pixel with wings—zooms left while obstacles scroll toward you, and timing your flaps just right feels like threading a needle. Mess up, and you get that classic Atari "bloop" of failure.

It's definitely not as polished as something like River Raid, but there's something charming about how brutally simple it is. The German name makes sense—you'll be yelling "Vogel, flieh!" at your screen after the third crash in a row. If you're into obscure retro games, this one's a neat little time capsule from the early days of "wait, we can make a whole game about this?"

Just don't expect a deep leaderboard—your high score resets when you power off, like all good Atari games should.
