Fun, fast, flappy. Well polished Android app. Being a penguin is brutal!

I love this! I really felt like I was back as a kid playing on my Master System. :)

Much faster and frenetic than the majority of happy bird clones that I've played. It works really well for that.

This feels like the best Flappy game never released to C64!
Awesome job...

I'm not a huge fan of flappy bird clones, but everything worked great. Nice job.

I know everyone seems to think I ripped off Flappy Bird, but to be honest I've never even played it! Obviousloy I've heard of it but really it's not a difficult design to arrive at - tapping to control vertical movement has been done in plenty of games before... not exactly a ground-breakingly novel concept. :) Thanks to everyone for playing and I'm glad you all enjoyed it so much!

Highscore of 9524, beat that!

Although the graphics might not be the greatest, this is actually one of the best LD games I've played so far. It's very addictive and the sound does a great job supporting the gameplay. I'm going to give it another go, see if I can break 10000. :)
