Flipping is Hard Golden Horse Coins & Phone OS Mini-Games Guide

Where Are All 14 Golden Horse Coins in Flipping is Hard?

Named after developer Elegant Horse Studios, the 14 Golden Horse Coins are spinning gold tokens tucked onto side ledges, behind obstacles, and atop risky optional jumps across the 10 Trashlands levels. Best of all, coins register to your profile the instant Flippy’s chassis touches them—meaning you don’t lose a collected coin if you slip off the platform on the way back.

Use this floor-by-floor checklist to track down all 14 coins:

Complete Guide to the 3 Built-In Phone OS Mini-Games (Tab)

Pressing Tab at any point during your climb brings up the Flippia 3310 Phone OS—the same monochrome green LCD terminal where you enter the 6 active redeem codes. Alongside skin customization, the OS includes three fully playable 2000s arcade parodies:

1. Flippy Bird

A brick-phone tribute to Flappy Bird. Tap the jump button to flap a tiny pixel handset between vertical sewer pipes on the green LCD screen. Because the gravity curve is snappy, rhythmic single taps keep your bird level through tight pipe gaps.

2. Fanaconda

Inspired by Nokia’s legendary Snake II, Fanaconda challenges you to steer a growing pixel serpent around the bordered LCD screen to eat data bits without colliding with the screen frame or your own tail. Hug the outer border in a clockwise loop once your snake exceeds 25 segments.

3. Floppy Road

A retro lane-hopping arcade game modeled after Frogger and Crossy Road. Advance one grid row at a time across busy hazards while watching both left and right spawn rhythms on the tiny screen.

Playing all three Phone OS mini-games, collecting all 14 Golden Horse Coins, and talking to all 18 NPCs will put you right on track for our Achievements & Speedrun Guide. If any high-ledge coin jump gives you trouble, review the bottom-edge hinge bounce in our Controls & Jump Guide.
