Flappy bird, but with a helicopter. Fun little game that gets you as frustrated as playing flappy bird (which is a good thing.) I think the random spawns could have been better places, because sometimes the clock is stuck in a wall.

Fun re-imagination of the Flappy Bird. Overall, the controls feel right and I find that simple graphical style suits the game very well. One frustrating thing is that clocks often spawn inside barriers or walls, which makes them unreachable. So if you get few “bad” spawns in a row you just run out of time.
I DIE TWICE AT 77.
but the game is both very simple and very cool.

Simple game, good music, and on theme.
the idea is nice. having an addition to an existing game idea.
one suggestion to improve the game is to put more effort into the spawning of the walls and timers. In Video Games nothing ever is 100% random. Instead, you have some control over it to ensure that the game is playable and never unfair at any point (for example, spawning a timer side a wall).
Strong implementation for sure. I found it a little on the easy side and would love to see some increased difficulty as time goes on. Maybe some enemies to avoid or faster speed. Keep it up!
its frenetic, very very hard and would be a good fit alongside games like "getting over it" and perhaps "cat mario".
Sometimes clocks spawn in the middle of the obstacles.
I would add some ridiculous message in between deaths to make it embrace the difficulty of it.
I loved this game as a kid, but now that I'm playing your version and the classic version side by side, I can definitely say that your version has a smoother gameplay. I really like it!
