Flappy Dunk Tips

Your main goal in Flappy Dunk is to tap on the screen and guide your ball through the various hoops that you come across. At the start of each run the hoops will be fairly easy to get through, but they’ll get progressively harder and harder, with some of them even requiring you to pass the ball through a moving hoop. You’ll also need to avoid dropping too low, or jumping too high, as hitting the top or bottom of your screen will cause your wings to fall off. But, if you want to learn how to make the most out of your time in Flappy Dunk, take a look at the information we’ve provided below.

How to Complete Challenges

While you can play Flappy Dunk through normal unlimited runs, where you survive as long as possible, you can also complete challenges, which task you with hitting hoops certain ways in a limited amount of time. There are currently 30 challenges to choose from, with each section offer more and more difficult challenges. To access the challenges, head to the main menu and then locate the icon that looks like six dots together. Click on this and you’ll be taken to the Challenges Menu.

Once on the Challenges Menu, you’ll see a full list of all the challenges currently in the game. Challenges 1-10 are the easiest, whereas Challenges 11-20 are more difficult, and Challenges 21-30 are the most difficult. You can click on each challenge to see what it is about, and then click START to hop into a game and try to complete it.

How to Get New Skins

You can unlock new skins for your balls by completing various goals in the game. Some of these goals include getting a certain number of Hoops in the normal game mode, while others require you to complete more extreme challenges like achieving 15 Swishes in a row. No matter what you’re doing, though, all you really have to do to get new skins is simply play the game, as there are even a few skins that unlock for reaching certain milestones in the game, like playing 200 Endless Games.

Position, Speed, and Precision

Another important thing to keep in mind when playing Flappy Dunk is that your ball’s position, speed, and precision are all important factors in the game. You should always watch out fast you tap, as the further your ball falls, the faster it will drop, possibly causing it to slam into the bottom of your screen. If this happens, you’ll fail instantly.

You’ll also want to make sure you’re timing your taps, as sometimes it can be very easy to tap the screen after landing on a hoop and completely ruin the shot, causing you to fail. So, time your taps, remember to keep your speed and position in mind, and you’ll be on your way to shot caller in no time.

How to Get Swishes

The Swish is something you’ll see quite a bit throughout Flappy Dunk, and it’s actually one of the best ways to go through a hoop as it doubles your points quite a bit if done in succession. To do a Swish you’ll need to line up your ball perfectly with the hoop, and allow it to pass through without touching the ring around the hoop. This can be quite difficult in some instances—like those where the hoop is sideways—but once you get the hang of earning those Swishes, you’ll be racking up points in no time.

Now that you know how to complete challenges, as well as how to get new skins and earn Swishes, it’s time to dive back into the game and start flapping. If you use the information we’ve provided above, it shouldn’t be too long before you’re flapping away and setting some of the highest records your friends have ever seen.
