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.

Developer

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!

Developer

Thank you for playing! A lot of people suggested separating the jumping and shooting from the same mouse, but where’s the fun in that? 😈, Glad you liked it!

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!

Developer

You actually can! After meeting Pippen and losing, you can fight him again by scoring 1 point! Thank you for playing! :D

Well done!

This is a fun game. Reminds me of the old classic

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 :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

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!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the honest feedback! I do have plans to make it forgiving for people who can’t reach 16 pipes, so they also get to experience fighting Pippen. Thank you for playing! :D

Interesting twist on flappy bird! I couldn't manage to beat the boss but I had fun trying! I'm glad I didn't have to get 16 points again to retry because I'm not very good at it lol.

Developer

Yes, 16 points is a lot, so I made him fightable again for 1 point after meeting him. Thank you for playing! :D

Hi, congrats on your game! :) That's a nice plot twist and a reinterpretation of the game Flappy Bird.

If you have some spare time, please try out my game. It's a classic space shooter from the 80s but with a personal touch. Please leave your honest feedback.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I will check your game out! :D

Developer

I forgot, but I already rated your game four days ago. It’s pretty cool!

He kept saying give up you fool and it finally got to me ;(. I am a fool and I did give up :(. Lol this was a hard game but I thought it was such a departure from the original I wasn't expecting. The VO was nice in the game. It reminded me of a couple of the levels in mass effect 2 where you're fighting harbinger. And then he just has like those voice lines and it's sort of ethereal. Probably wasn't an inspiration but that's immediately what I thought of lol. Cool game!

Developer(+1)

Don’t let Pippen get to you! The VO was just inspired by some demon, but now that you mentioned it, it does sound like the harbinger xD. Thank you for playing! :D

Wow this frustating xD but then again I never understood why people loved the original so much - so I am not your audience...sorry
Your boss fight is in my opinion close to impossible with bad luck - if he comes close to you and has anything but the smallest pipes - you basically can't dodge so I gave up after a few attempts
Also I don't know if it would be better but for me shooting and clicking with the same hand was mindbending I had to concentrate just to keep holding RMB
But keep at it maybe with a few tweaks it can be fun even for people like me^^

Developer

The boss fight is frustrating, but it does not depend on luck. I’ve playtested it a lot of times to make sure that beating him was possible, and shooting and flying with the same hand were part of the challenge. I do plan to make a few tweaks, though. Thank you for the feedback and for playing! :D

Super game! I'm always up for playing some flappy bird and this one was very well made 

I also know there's no way I can make it to 16 so I won't get to experience it :(

Developer

Maybe I need to make an update for those people who can’t reach 16 pipes 🤔. Thank you for playing!

The art and music are excellent.  Confession... my top score is 2.  My reaction time is too slow!

Developer

It’s alright! Thank you for playing! :D

Nice game! Really hard but I got to 16 after a while!

Developer

I’m glad you did! You’ve got to meet Pippen! xD

Yep, it's flappy bird. 

I almost didn't make it to a score of 16, but I am glad I did. I appreciate the story and plot twist.  

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

Oooh I was really pleased with the twist! I knew there was one to your game, but I didn't imagine it to be like this :D The voice acting is always a nice addition. Great entry!

Developer(+1)

I’m glad you liked it! It’s my first time voice acting, and I had to rush it since I started the jam late xD. Thank you for playing! :D

Submitted(+1)

It was a nice experience, with a nice twist at 16. I just wanted to have the option of saving and fighting the boss, since I instantly fall with my face on the ground as I read the instructions "Press Right to fire", "Oh ok, so now I will fire...", and BAMM face on the ground.

Nice work, keep it up!

Developer(+1)

You can fight the boss again when you lose after meeting him just by scoring 1 point. Thank you for the feedback and for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Oh ok! Since it started all over again and it took me like 10 attempts to reach 16 pipes, I though to myself "not today :p"

Submitted(+1)

Innovative! Good job and great done, it takes me half hour to pass the 16 pts, I hate the control feeling of flappy bird, but after I play so much clone of it, yours are the best and smoothest one. I really apperciate the innovation to twist it into flappy bird + shotting, but I cannot pass lol. Anyways, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :D

This game is great. The twist at the end is brilliant, and I loved the dramatic voice acting. :) I also really appreciate that you made the collision on the pipes relatively forgiving because it was hard enough already lol. Great work!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I did make it forgiving because I kept on losing as well xD. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
