Thanks, glad you liked it. Gathering speed in the beginning of a level is pretty important to keep your speed up. Like i said to someone else, you get a small boost at the start of the level so to get the most speed you can, go upwards with that and then keep your cursor lower than the player as much as possible. There might also be a bug with different screen sizes and getting the cursor position wrong, if your bird looks the wrong way then that might be what's causing it, but i have no idea if it exists.
As for the arrow thing, the bird already points exactly where the cursor is
Thanks for the comment and rating!
