Very nice idea, I especially liked the music, it fits the mood of the game perfectly. The art is also very appealing, but gameplaywise I hat the feeling that the some gaps between the obstacles are too narrow for my twitchy fingers :)

All in all, I like the game

Loooooove the style here. The CRT effect with the pixel art is just great, and the music is a great fit too.

Nice little twist on the Flappy Bird format! I wish there was a bit more strategy involved with deciding when to use the power though. I would generally use it when I was in a big open space, because you never know when you're going to be face-to-face with a huge up-close wall. :P Needless to say, I was not skilled enough to get very far...

Not bad at all to have taken the flappy bird experience and putted in a new designed way. It's pretty stressful at times and well it feels tense :)
Well done

Great concept, lovely visuals!

Mouse clicks didn't properly convert into taps on a Windows version, but I managed to get it working with a Wacom tablet+pen.

Quite unusual to make Android game, but good that there is also win version. This game is very hard as most of games out there. It is very tricky blanace difficulty , while you know everything about your game, and getting better at it when testing.

I love the visuals of this. Even though the pixel art is incredibly simple the effect on the screen makes it better. The music is also very nice. Overall it's a nice entry.

Cool flappy-style game! Really like the aesthetics present here, especially the very appealing visuals, but the music is also quite nice. Couldn't get very far because I suck at games like this but it seemed like most obstacles were doable, although I really would've wished for some less brutal collision detection. Good job overall!
