The concept is awesome!
At first the controlls were very confusing.
I got to the end / house. What I meant was that I had to re-read the page to know that I had to press up. Maybe some better player feedback when pressing up would have been nice. And even at this point it felt a bit random if the bird got height or not. After ~1-2min I kinda got the hang of it. Oh and on a side note: Reset the player velocity when respawning ;)
