Use your mouse to guide birdie out of various buildings he's got himself stuck in. Do it under par to unlock harder levels.
Note: Due to there only being 5 levels(+1 super secret bonus), I made the difficulty quite high. All the levels are possible below par, just try to not hit everything.
Cute little game. I think it's a little too punishing on the player to demand par or better on both flaps and hits though! It takes a lot of work to clear a stage.
Something felt wrong with the controls (or I didn't get it). Also the size is too big for my laptop's screen (768 height). Nevertheless my daughter (just 2 years) really liked to watch my failure with the birdie.
Nice idea! I made it to level 4 but the game was pretty hard, mostly because I felt like my control over the bird was pretty laggy but I was expected to make pretty tight movements. I probably would have been able to play longer if it hadn't been for the flapping sound effect, which was quite anxiety-inducing. Clever idea though!
Interesting concept, but too frustratingly hard, requiring lots of patience. I found the sounds quite comical, but I can see how they would annoy me by level 5.
What a great game! Interesting idea, likeable character, the crash noise was a little harsh. I had to play the first level about ten times before I finally got through.
Interesting idea. Although the game is damn hard. Maybe you could have let the bird flap only when the user clicks. Couldn't beat lv. 2, lol. I kept hitting everything on my way. Overall a nice game.

It felt like trying to thread a needle while wearing oven mitts. Remember not all of us had the benefit of playing it 100 times as it was being developed.
"Due to there only being 5 levels(+1 super secret bonus), I made the difficulty quite high" - you know, most of us would probably prefer bit lower difficulty and more enjoyment... for me it was more exercise in frustration then game:(
That's a really great start and an interesting idea, but it would have been even better if you had a few easy levels at the beginning for the player to get used to the controls.
OK, NOW I know how everyone else who played my entry felt! hamster_mk_4 nailed it. I really like the opening menu screen with it's animation and the bird following your cursor with its eyes.

This is a nnice idea, but I think the scoring goes in the wrong direction.
Right now you are punished for excessive movement and destuction - But that is fun! I imagines this as a hapless bird trying to escape in panic, destroying everything in its path, which is much funnier than a precise avian leaving the building.
Way too hard. I mean, when average player isn't able to beat just the first level in less than 20-30 attempts, there must be something wrong with balance. That's a pity, because the idea itself is really good and the game looks nice. Oh, and the flapping sound gets annoying quickly.
I could not clear the first level after 20 tries. (Then I rage quit.) The automatic flapping made everything harder for no reason I can think of. That's a shame because the idea is nice and the engine works well...
Not real fun for me. I would have changed the controls to flap on click, and maybe some way to control the power of the flap (based on distance mouse-bird or the length of the clic?) and some way to reset the level with a key.
(I just tried again -to be sure- and made it to level 3. That's pure masochism from me :)

While frustrating, it's still pretty addictive :p

Still nice work though :-)
