You may have already come across one of the most striking filters on Instagram Stories. It's the one that imitates the famous Flappy Bird game from a few years ago, but in which you take control of the bird just by blinking your eyes. An entertainment that seemed unthinkable a few years ago, and that is running like wildfire among your Instagram contacts due to how striking it is. Do you want to get him? Then follow this tutorial.
Flappy Bird is a simple and addictive skill game that hit smartphones a couple of years ago. Its origin is Vietnamese, and although it shamelessly copied the graphics of Super Mario Bros. it managed to stay a few weeks in the information vein And all because it was so ridiculously difficult that it challenged to any user to improve their brand. You only had to press on the screen for the main bird to take flight to overcome the pipes that were appearing on the screen. Well, the game was so successful that it died for its own fame. But now it revives as an Instagram filter.
Thank you to the creator @dvoshansky on Instagram, who is the creator of reviving Flappy Bird. Of course, updated to current times and, above all, on the platform that is permeating more and more mobile phones.Thus, he had the brilliant idea of taking advantage of Instagram's technology of facial recognition of its filters and masks, but in this case to create a game and not just a effect applied to the face. In other words, it takes advantage of Instagram technology for something more than purely aesthetic, as happens with other skins.
How to Get Flying Face
This special filter based on Flappy Bird is called the Flying Face, and is earned by starting to following @dvoshansky on Instagram So Do not hesitate to go through his profile and click on the blue button Follow to unlock it and get hold of it. Of course, it is not the only content created by this account, so you will have to look for the filter among the entire collection available within Instagram Stories.
Next to the Instagram Stories feature of the app. You know, you can do it by sliding your finger from left to right from the main screen or by tapping on the camera icon in the upper left corner.
Once here, with the camera already active pointing at your face, slide the filter disc until you find Fying Face You can recognize by name, or by the icon with blue and purple tints that shows a face and the silhouette of a bird next to it. Automatically, on the screen, you will see the cute Flappy Bird waiting to start the game.
Playing Flappy Bird on Instagram Stories
You better get the hang of the mechanics before you start recording, otherwise you'll most likely end up posting a story making a fool of yourself. That's what this game is about though. Once you're framed, with good light illuminating your face to detect your blink, just tap the screen. In this way Flappy Bird begins to fly. But it will be your blink that keeps it in the air, lifting or plummeting it depending on how often you close your eyes.
All this, of course, without forgetting to control the trajectory to overcome obstacles. So you will have to adjust your blinking to the height of the pipes, calculating the fall and elevation with each movement. Do this until you reach your highest possible score.
But you are not alone. If you want to accompany a friend during the game, you can. This mask recognizes up to two faces, planting two Flappy Birds on the screen, and controlling them individually according to each blink.
Now that you've reached this point, don't forget to hold down the record button to record your achievement. Then post it to brag about your score.
