humorous as this is, you realize it's functionally no different, right? I mean if you attached the camera to the pipes instead of the bird it would be flappy bird but with reversed gravity.

Man, and I thought I was bad at the original flappy bird! I rarely can even get past the first pipe on this one.
The pixel art is excellent and controlling the pipes felt nice and smooth, though something about the pipes having the elliptical movement while the bird remained flat felt extra infuriating. (In a good way, I think? Flappy bird is often infuriating too, after all!) This seemed to be a popular take on the theme, but this was definitely one of the more polished ones! I just wish there was some background music.

UnderAchieverThis is great! I've seen a bunch of "Reverse Flappy Birds", but I like the simplicity here. Feels nice to play and looks really polished. Nice job!

Pete Stopper RE-FUELLove the pixel art! The flip on flappy bird is interesting and quite hard! Nice work!

Viva La MoovalutionHow did you make a game that's harder than the original 😂 I've seen a few games with this idea, but yours has been the best so far - I like how it's the same mechanic, but on the pipes instead. Really nice art too!

Flip 'N' BurnReally cool game with extremely good visuals! Good Job! Though i think there was a bit more potential, since as of right now the game plays basically the same as the original, but you can hit the ground, but that's not a big deal for a game jam, good job!

The Cleanse of the Dungeon Cleanercute art but the game is hard(well ig fitting for flappy bird), but the pipe jumps were a bit floaty but i still like it!

Tower AttackKinda funny because I was thinking of exactly the same idea at the start! I think you executed it as well as you could, the game looks and feels really nice.
