I dont know, I dont much see what colerate with theme, sorry. Mainly because it is very similar to flappy bird. Average audio, it not bad but not good, try harded next time. Average fun game, but maybe next time you will polish the gameplay and it will be better. Not bad, not bad :) I like your art.

One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will aperceite very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't play the game, I tried clicking like the control menu said, but my bird never went up, only down

Game seems cool and art looks awesome. But I'm having the same problem as daniel up there. I have to press like crazy the spacebar and it only stops him from falling rather than make him fly. I'll only rate you in mood (great ambient! you picked your assets rly well!) because I couldn't move well so its unfair to rate you with a bug. If you update it tag me and I'll take another look! Don't listen to guys like that anonymous. Making a game in a weekend is HARD and you did it alone. Anonymous did not even have the guts to say which game he did so as people don't rate him as harsh as he does.

PS: Looking at your vid I'm thinking maybe you're using Update instead of FixedUpdate in unity? The faster the PC the more times the game will enter on Update so that's maybe the problem? Good luck!

Definitely flappy bird. The music and graphics are solid but I'd to see the theme incorporated in a more creative way.

In fact, it's flappy bird (with betters graphics, indeed). Maybe u should add somes new mechanics ?

@dante2001 @daniel-spruill I got this problem while developing the game. Problem is that game's gravity is linked to Event-tick and delta seconds which is based on your machine's frames per second. More the fps, higher will be the gravity. :imp: So I decided to fix it temporarily. Ran out of time.

@sksahu1 unsure if you made the game in Unity, but if so, all Physics logic should be in a FixedUpdate loop. That way it's actually frame locked and runs the same no matter what

@sksahu1 Like Daniel said, don't use Update() use FixedUpdate() that way you'll loop through that function the same times on a quick or slow machine! Had the same error when I started learning, you're doing great!

@sksahu1 Oof. I google'ed a bit quick and it suggests something like Sub-stepping? I rly don't know UE. Best of luck!

your artwork is very good and the menus are very polished. the game though is not very good and is not in line with the theme. the controls also were very bad because i could never get the bird to go up. thanks for making the game.
