Field notes
The game maps body position to arcade movement: holding a roughly parallel squat locks the bird up, while standing tall sends it downward through gates. It uses hip and knee pose data through on-device MediaPipe, and the page says pose information stays on the player’s device. A daily gate seed is shared in Pacific time, while challenge links use a /play?beat=N format for direct friend-versus-friend comparisons.
