Really like the graphics, and the idea was simple but intuitive! I wish the game had a more forgiving difficulty curve as it starts up but maybe I'm just bad a games like this in general

Submitted

It was a little weird at first figuring out how to move, but the graphics are beautiful and I really like the idea too!

Submitted

The creative part is a 5 for sure ! I like the way how you changed a popular game to fit in the theme, Keep up with the good work :)

Submitted

Very interesting concept! you've taken a fan favorite and added a twist while keeping the core of what made the original game popular very cool! There are, of course, a couple bugs that make getting a high score quite challenging but if you iron those out you have quite a fun and visually interesting game on your hands 

Good stuff :D

Submitted

very creative. I like it.

That was a fun twist to flappy bird :D The simple art style really works for it, and it’s a clever idea!

I encountered a bug(?) where the obstacles suddenly changed right before I got past them, making me lose the game.

Overall nicely implemented concept :)

Love the idea of this game, i found if i just hold left click unendingly it doesnt detech collisions, also sad i am unable to see my score

Thank you for your feedback! The score shows if the game is in full-screen. Itch.io's web viewer size crops it currently.

ah a see, unfortunate that that happens, but i still had fun playing the game, thank you

Submitted

A simple fun game, can't ask more than that! Like the aesthetic, nice work!

Fun flip on flappy bird!

a really neat twist on flappy bird, I like how the music gets faster the taller you are, and the art style kind of reminds me of crossy road, I guess because of the isometric view and voxel style assets. it controls well and the hitboxes are good, it never felt unfair when I lost. well done on this :)

Very creative take on the theme! The audio in the HTML5 version seems to be a little buggy though. Also, is it just me, or are the obstacles actually symmetric, so you only have to take one side of the bird into account? :D

This is a really fun concept and having to keep track of both ends of the bird is hectic and stressful in a good way! The music starts out weird and just gets more and more nightmarish - I love it! The perspective makes things a bit tricky but the shadows help.

Very fun twist on Flappy Bird! It took me while to get the hang of haha! 

The art style and colours are very nice. Some times I couldn't tell whether I would hit the blocks or not, I think because of the camera perspective.

Other than that, I really liked it! Great job.

Submitted

I really like the idea of the gameplay, but the perspective of the camera makes it really annoying and hard to judge if you're gonna hit the obstacles or not. Fun concept tho!

Submitted

Combining Flappy Bird and Scale in a fantastic way to create something new from both themes is really interesting!

Submitted

A fun twist on the Flappy-genre! It was interesting to have to keep track of both the top and bottom of the bird, and it definitely fit the theme well. Nice work!

This seems strangely familiar :3

I found that if I stayed at max size, I never actually died, the obstacles just passed through me

Submitted

Neat little game. The momentum of controlling the size felt right.

I did find an exploit where I can hold the button to never collide with the wall.

I think some room for improvement could be to indicate where the bird impacted with a wall to learn from failure in that way.

Submitted

I love the bird. Pretty fun

a creative twist on a classic game!
