Really nice presentation. I wasn’t able to successfully complete any of the commands – the duck and jump never lasted long enough to make it past the obstacle.

Great music, wonderful concept, very difficult, 13/10

This game is awesome! Loved the concept! Only thing i can criticize is the difficult, maybe would be nice if it was easier in the beginning or allowed the player to make some mistakes. Very nice game! Congrats!

The design, color scheme, art, and music really complement the game so well. Really well done guys. I have some feed back / comments for you:

1) I think the beginning is a little too hard because you have the time the jump perfectly the first time and I almost feel like it gets easier as the bird moves faster since timing is not really an issue and its more about how fast you notice and type later lol

2) it'd be cool to add some sort of "breathing room" power up like a copy and paste power up or invincibility to give the player a small break

3) The buttery smooth background movement just speaks to me guys. Goodness, not sure how you guys got it to run so smoothly like that but man, keep it up!

Can't wait to hear of any updates!!

really neat concept and I love the art!

Amazing presentation and a great concept. Never made it further then a couple of obstacles, but worth the frustration!

Submitted(+2)

The game looks amazing but I never got past the first obstacle x)

Even when I managed to type "jump" or "down" on time my bird would land on the obstacle or get up before it was supposed to, and that was game over for me (even if I waited the last moment to press enter)...

Submitted(+1)

I really like the concept. Jump/Down could be just a tad longer, would have made it more enjoyable (at least for me, but I am not into hardcore games). Love the art style.

welcome to hell!! i found the walk command a bit unfair you really have to type fast but I like difficult games

Submitted(+1)

this is sick! i think you should have been just a tiny bit more generous with the timing for the jumps and ducks because it is suppper tight, but this rules.

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely addicted to this game. The art, the elements, the music, the mechanics, absolutely incredible! I discovered that if I keep spamming the jump command, I can fly over all the obstacles lol, so perhaps a bug, but still very fun!

LOL I was aware about this "bug", but didn't know anyone would be able to do it, so I just let people who can, cheat

It's fun! and I like the idea. It's also unique

Submitted(+1)

Really cool idea. 5 star presentation. Was too difficult for me though. I also couldn't get passed one obstacle. I couldn't tell if I needed to type 'jump' again while already jumping? Couldn't make it over, and couldn't duck long enough to get under something.

I think ideally, a less difficult version of this would be awesome.

I love how you took an endless runner and twisted it by making it so that you have to type each command. That's a very clever way to make your entry more unique even though you're starting off with the most obvious idea for this limitation. The art and music are also phenomenal.
Great Job!

I love the art, audio, and concept! I would love to see you making the game not so punishing though. No matter how fast I typed it the bird would always end up hitting the obstacle. I never got past a single one. I tried typing commands like jump back to back really fast, but the bird would always die. The same thing happened with the down I hit enter exactly before I went under, and it allowed me to duck for half of the way, and then I died.

Really great game! I really liked the visuals and sound design.

Really good presentation! Definitely one of the best in this jams

Submitted(+1)

This is really good! Although, I am a mediocre typist, so I could not get the timing right to get past even a single obstacle. I definitely agree with what others have said, to make an easier difficulty where your commands last longer, i.e. ducking for longer, jumping for longer, walk stamina doesn't decrease as fast.

Great game!

This is such a cool game! I love the idea of it, I really love typing gives me exercise to mi fingers. This is so amazing.
