Agh that music! It's nice then it goes "aha, you're going craazy!"

Liked it but it begs for *upgrades* you can get by achieving long distances (something like learning-to-fly-2)

Silly balloons!

Yeah liked it :)

Fun game but the level seems quite dependent of luck.
Collision feels a little imprecise. I liked the music.

I like how you kept the flapping mechanic even in the menu. Also the music cracked me up.

Fly damn you *hammers space*. Once I got the rhythm I really enjoyed it. Got that 'just one more' vibe. The music really works well.

Not easy at the first pickup, cute art style though.

365.67! This is pretty well done game.

It's just. Bit simple. Besides the one button your control on the bird is very minimal. Perhaps there could have been some kind of power ups or something. To spice things up a little.

Overall it's pretty solid. It just needs little something something. And dat music.

Really good music, could use a bit more control for the movement of the bird but a very good game, none the less. :)

Like the game- the music is very good.
In the first time it's a little hard- but i got used to it.

Nailed it!! Challenging and cool. Loved the music a LOT (could have been a longer loop though). Needed sounds!

I think the balloon hitbox could be a little smaller (I'm pretty sure the string deflated the balloon).

There's something wonderful about the game not actually ending when it's over. You can keep flapping for a long time.

Wow the music is pretty weird but catchy. The art fits your game theme well.

The concept is OK but the control mechanics don't really seem to be right there. Especially when the bar runs out, the bird feel like weighs tons and you cant keep up flapping.

Fun, simple game. Well polished. Cool music. Some more dramatic sfx could take it further.

Nice and polished. There seems to be an element of luck in where the tornadoes get placed?
