With a twist! Ok, I didn't expect a chain gun. But for me was just impossible to win. I quit after like 15 times. I mean how are you supposed to avoid the pipes shooting in your face?! :-P

Fun! Addictive! I couldn't get to the boss, but I'll try again later. Also I never played Flappy Bird, so as far as I know you invented this concept. :)
This is a fantastic spin on flappy bird!!! That boss was just too much for me, but still a great job!
I'm glad I came back to try this again after some rest. I was really struggling to get past 15 and even see the boss...
But I have now! I'm still absolutely terrible at flappy bird style games though haha. Very grateful that you don't need to get to 16 again once you've reached the boss once. The combo of flappy bird and shooter actually works really well. Great spin on the genre with some fun humor!
Absolutely wild that you can play through the first part of the game through your phone's web browser, you only run into trouble when you need to shoot :) I did have to move over to pc to play the second part but a very cool interpretation of the theme. I especially liked the voice acting! Great Work!
Hey, nice twist on the FB! Unfortunately I played on my laptop touch pad, so I didn't last long once I got to the shooting, but I'll give it another go when I have my mouse. Felt super fun so far!
I’ll be updating the game shortly after the jam ends. Make sure to subscribe to this topic! https://itch.io/t/2900384/announcements
I thought it's going to be another flappy bird clone. Glad I was proven wrong.
Love how the game looks. The cutscene is really good. The voice overs and the story really help enhance the boss battle experience. The mechanic is really fun. The music and sound effects are good.
Allowing those who faced the boss to face him again without having to go past 16 pipes again is a really good decision.
Maybe make a medal in game over screen for the player who beat the game? That would really add to the sense of accomplishment.
I'm sure some people are going to miss the credit. People usually don't press play again after beating a game.
Overall, great game.
Thank you for the feedback! I do plan to update the game after the jam; I did forget to put the medal at the end, and I’m going to make the credits show as soon as they click the “OK” button after the cutscene. I also have plans for people who are having a hard time getting to 16 points and a few other things. Make sure to subscribe to the topic! https://itch.io/t/2900384/announcements
pretty unique combination. Flappy bird and combat. It is really hard for me to maintain the bird while shooting and dodging the boss xD. Can't beat the boss but overall good job for completing the game!
At first I thought it was a pretty standard flappy bird clone, but then I got to the boss battle and had a good laugh at the cutscene. I love how you managed to flip expectations with the boss fight but I wish I could start over from the boss fight instead of having to go through the 16 pipes again. Great entry!
I'm too terrible at flappy bird to get to the boss, but sounds like a neat idea! Consider having the difficulty ramp up more gradually. Well done, though :)
Love it! Sometimes I put games I know I want to rate in my bookmarks, and this one has been sitting there for a while. I could tell it would be good, goofy fun, and it did not disappoint. Love that little bit of voice acting. Great stuff.
Interpretation of the theme seems a bit loose, but that's not a huge deal. Boss fight was really hard (at least for me, haha), which I'm sort of split about. On one hand, I feel like having a difficult fight fits the rest of the game better, but on the other hand, I'm a big baby that doesn't like to lose.
No effect on my rating, but 16 pipes might be a bit much for a jam, where people generally like to move through games pretty quick (I say hypocritically). If the rest of the people are anything like me, they're terrible at this and it took them too many tries just to get to 16, haha. Just something to think about for future jams.
All that said, what makes this so great to me is that it was legitimately just fun. I'm not a huge fan of Flappy Bird honestly, but the sense of humor just does it for me. Good work!
