Good remake of "flappy" mechanic.
Punishing player by decreasing score for bad move isn't best game decision, be careful with that.

Very fun and I really enjoyed the cute ghost as well as the sounds! Great submission. I’ve rated your game. I hope that you’ll check out and rate my submission as well. :-)
Took me a while and many deaths to figure out that points = health and that I could jump more than once but I did find it hard to control with each consecutive "jump" seeming to get bigger. I suppose that's where the challenge comes from.
Cute and simple but nicely designed. The UI could use some love
This is great game, it is relaxing and challenging at the same time, I can play long hours.
Mixture of score and life points is quite unique and actually works awesome here, which makes it really playable in the long term. WELL DONE!Very cute game and simple mechanics.. just float higher, else go with the current. Nicely done!
I love the little ghost design! I'm so glad for the scoring system being used as lives. Survived a lot longer than I would have otherwise!
Fun game to play. I am so bad at Flappy Bird games, that I was really grateful that I could use the points I collect as lives. It took me ages to get to level 2... and then I died. Great submission.
Fun, and agree that the health system rather than instant death is a great alternative for Flappy Bird style games. Frustrating (in a good game way) to have your score going up, then suddenly a few wrong flaps and your score is going down.
Well done!
Great submission! It reminded me of swimming in the old Mario games. Great graphics and addicting gameplay. Well done!
Cute little game, I really like the game over screen :P Makes you want to try again :)
I like this kind of game. Flappy bird/helicopter game. Simple, nice and straight forward.
One thing that I struggled to accept was the hitbox. It was very very hard to avoid taking damage at level 2 and at level 3 it felt much like pinball :D
I initially thought I'd be training my ghost to become something better. I was attracted by that at first. It's a shame nothing was done with that initial idea. (You still could!)
Thanks for taking me back through memory lane with your submission!
