Six easy rules — that is all there is to it.

1. Tap anywhere on the screen (or click, or press SPACE) to give Batty a wingbeat. Each tap is one flap — short, gentle taps fly best.
2. After you press PLAY, Batty hovers and waits. Take a breath, then tap when you are ready to take off.
3. Steer through the gaps between the pumpkin towers. Every tower you pass scores points.
4. Snatch the candies floating in the gaps. Each candy is worth 5 points, and every two candies raise your combo — up to a toasty ×5.
5. Keep your combo hot: while it burns, every gate you pass is worth more. A ×5 combo turns every single gate into 5 points.
6. Do not touch the pumpkins, and do not hit the ground — that ends the flight. The sky above is friendly; bumping it just gives Batty a silly bonk.
