Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.

Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.

BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
When the event started where this game was introduced to C3, I called Flappy Souls a tragedy of a game.
My take has changed since putting hours into it. It's really not that bad. The music fits the theme and it's...moving? I guess that's the right word for it. The cadence for getting the baseball cap wearing, duck hero to fly the way you'd like is hard to pick up. Even if you do get it right, you find the constant changing landscape and odd soundtrack to be the perfect villain to a game that requires rhythm and timing. You may make it through four dozen pillars in one turn and then hit the first or second pillar for the next two dozen attempts in a row.
What really changed my mind about this game was the metrics and stats. The "level" isn't your typical video game level, you don't go to new boards and you certainly don't "level up", it's more like a tracker for your level of patience with the game itself. The longer you play and the more attempts you make the less you dislike the sight of it on principle alone. You get to appreciate the complexity of a game that seems like it should be so simple. The souls that you collect aren't prizes to be won, they are distractions that throw off your game and you get reminded of how many times that has happened every time you go back to the start screen. This is light masochism in video game form.
I'll probably keep playing long after the high score event is over just to see if I can keep improving.
