Some quick tipps for the next time, if you let the pinguin look slightly down or up, depending on his speed you get a nice effect of him flying higher as well as falling. Also some more types of clouds that do different thinks would be nice :)
But well done, keep on developing!
I can't can too much feedback that hasn't already been said, but endless runners get a little boring without some variation. One way to do this is to simply speed the player up over time, but slow the player back to base speed on contact with a cumulus cloud, so the speed feels like a satisfying combo system or something.
Also, pressing LMB doesn't really feel like gliding - maybe a gradual upward movement rather than an instant one?
Otherwise, good job!
