Martin Rumenov Squido Studio has officially launched Flappy XR, a reimagined version of the iconic mobile classic Flappy Bird, now available on Meta Quest and Samsung Galaxy XR headsets. Building on the studio’s acclaimed VR hit No More Rainbows, this new release introduces full hand-tracking support, combining intuitive gameplay with immersive XR environments.
A Classic Reborn for Spatial Play
Flappy XR transforms the original 2D formula into a fully 3D aerial experience. Instead of tapping a screen, players use hand gestures to guide their bird through dynamic obstacle courses suspended in vivid, physics-driven worlds. The game centers on tactile immersion—each flap, hover, and crash is physically felt, thanks to Squido’s expertise in motion design carried over from its previous projects.
Squido Studio described the game as a reinvention rather than a remake, emphasizing accessibility and universal appeal. Players can enjoy it with full hand tracking or traditional controllers, and its straightforward mechanics make it suitable for all age groups.
Play in Mixed or Full VR
Flappy XR supports both virtual reality immersion and mixed reality passthrough, letting players blend game elements with their real-world surroundings. This dual design philosophy aligns well with the capabilities of the newly launched Samsung Galaxy XR headset—Samsung’s first mixed reality device built on the Android XR platform. As part of the launch library for that ecosystem, Flappy XR demonstrates how hand-tracked XR games can become both accessible and deeply engaging.
Features and Availability
Flappy XR offers handcrafted levels with progressive difficulty, multiple playable bird species each with unique flight mechanics, and a vibrant aesthetic designed for quick sessions or endless high-score pursuits. Rated “Everyone,” it caters to all audiences, from nostalgic mobile gamers to XR newcomers. The game is now available via the Meta Quest Store and Google Play Store for Samsung Galaxy XR owners, with upcoming support for Pico headsets announced for the near future.
