  • This is what Flappy Bird should be haha. Very addicting. Nice that you guys tried to add every controls in the mouse input (part of the diversifiers). I'm probably just a noob, but I found it a bit hard to get used to the controls. But with practice, I definitely got better. Some spikes felt impossible to get through tho. Probably more health (like 5 hearts) or make the tunnel a bit taller would allow me to stay alive longer. Overall, very cute game!

Addicting game! I played quite a bit trying to beat my score, but I could only reach 1:05 (twice! on hard mode obviously). The art looks great, though for some reason I couldn't resize the screen and it was really small, so I had to force fullscreen it and it was very low resolution, so I couldn't enjoy the view :( 

Game was quite simple, but gave me a lot of fun. Other than the double spikes (top and bottom), the game was pretty easy though, it would be nice if it gets harder somehow (although those double spikes were an instant lose for me so that might be what makes the game hard? haha). Having to type a (different!) name every time was a bit of a pain, especially when there isn't a leaderboard type screen. There is also a bug where clicking left or right a second time in a row will still change to the fan or acorn, without changing the image, making the game playable with a single button.

Overall, the game was pretty, chill, simple and fun. Made me want to go back for more. Great job!

This game is really cute. I love it.

Maybe if you'd have more types of obstacles (like some obstacles that are in the middle, or projectiles), it would be even more interesting.

Even in easy mode, the game is really hard! I didn't make it past the first 4 obstacles lol
