Hi had great time with your game. The volcano explosion was a big surprise and also rise up the challenge very fast. The gameplay was delicious.

Fun game. Very funny. Death is fun, watching the bird tumble down the volcano.

Det er et rigtigt godt og sjovt lille spil i har fået lavet, og både musikken og grafikken passer rigtig godt til jeres spil ide.

Det bedste ved spillet er den måde som i har valgt at fuglen skal styres på. Dog reagere fuglen nogen gange en lille smule for langsom på musen bevægelser.

Overordnet er rigtigt godt lille LD spil.

Nice theme, is it correct that you fly faster when the mouse is further away? A little bit repetitious. Wasn't sure how many points I was getting, would be nice to show it at the "R for respawn" screen, when I played I didn't see any feedback on points in the web version.

@mgoadric Thanks for playing it first of all!

Basicly the bird accelerates based on how much downwards the bird is flying, and you should be able to see points in top left, and highscore in top right, maybe fullscreen it?

Much love <3

Good work! Technically well executed. Gameplay is kind of original, though it could be more exciting. The lava balls move a little too fast to avoid.

I enjoyed the flying mechanics (even though I kept going splat! at the ground all the time) and the theme is perfect. I managed to get stuck on the intro scene, I lost my victim without moving on somehow. Couldn't recreate it when I tried later so I can't say exactly what I did wrong...
