humorous as this is, you realize it's functionally no different, right? I mean if you attached the camera to the pipes instead of the bird it would be flappy bird but with reversed gravity.

I don't see where the issue is. Also we essentiallyonly had one day due to difficult time management and other things that have occupied us.

Man, and I thought I was bad at the original flappy bird! I rarely can even get past the first pipe on this one. 

The pixel art is excellent and controlling the pipes felt nice and smooth, though something about the pipes having the elliptical movement while the bird remained flat felt extra infuriating. (In a good way, I think? Flappy bird is often infuriating too, after all!) This seemed to be a popular take on the theme, but this was definitely one of the more polished ones! I just wish there was some background music.

This is great! I've seen a bunch of "Reverse Flappy Birds", but I like the simplicity here. Feels nice to play and looks really polished. Nice job!

I am a pipe, how hard I am.

The art-direction and pixel art on this game are really really good! You managed to capture the frustrating essence of the original game really well!

The pipes felt really smooth to control too but I am terrible at this game haha!

Love the pixel art! The flip on flappy bird is interesting and quite hard! Nice work!

How did you make a game that's harder than the original 😂 I've seen a few games with this idea, but yours has been the best so far - I like how it's the same mechanic, but on the pipes instead. Really nice art too!

Really cool game with extremely good visuals! Good Job! Though i think there was a bit more potential, since as of right now the game plays basically the same as the original, but you can hit the ground, but that's not a big deal for a game jam, good job!

cute art but the game is hard(well ig fitting for flappy bird), but the pipe jumps were a bit floaty but i still like it!

Nice entry. I kept clipping my feet.

Kinda funny because I was thinking of exactly the same idea at the start! I think you executed it as well as you could, the game looks and feels really nice.
