Hah, nice one! You may want to consider adding some hotkeys for the buttons, saves some clicking (I've had some of the same comments in my game, check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/spur-of-the-moment-racing)

Humor, turn based, flappy.. You nailed the jam theme!
I greatly enjoyed your game, it's truly challenging and annoying, but in the right way!
Thanks for making this, dude!

It's very funny, but I think It's too easy. Isn't it? Good Job!

Very nice work for just 5 hours! Would be a perfect mobile game. :)

Nicely done in 5 hours. I think the Nerdy should move faster, now it's a little easy and slow-paced?

Perfect! Nice to see another flappy combination, [check out my Flappy Soccer](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/flappy-soccer) if you'd like! :)

Nice combo! It's crazy how switching from reflexive to strategy still works for Flappy games; good job for such a short time!

Very fun, interesting how being turn-based changes it. Bit easier than usual flappy games in my opinion, but it's still fun

Nice concept. Finally it makes Flappy Bird much easier!

Cool game. I like the concept. Feels a bit more strategic than regular flappy bird.

Nice game! Finally a Flappy where I can get past the first pipe. :D
The are is cute and the game concept works great. If you want to take this further, I would recommend adding some particle effects or background music.
And please make a mobile port of this, I would really love to play it on the train or in the bus!

First of all I love the name, it's genius! I like the innovative game-mechanic. Considering this game was made in only 5 hours, I'm very impressed!!

Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Fun and well made. The sfw are subtle but important. My top score was 11. Great work.

Got 36 points, this is a very interresting idea and execution. Getting into the rhythm of waiting and tapping is fun and beating the highscore feels good. I noticed that despite the turnbased nature it was still hard to predict where the avatar would end up, waiting a second time in succession makes you fall further that the first time for example, but I guess that is just how the physics work. I played it longer than I anticipated, fun game!
