Thanks for the quick feedback.. amazing, before the compo has even finished! I have reworked things a few times and it is prettier and has better feedback (text and stuff)
It's a copter clone. But, for your first web game, you have to start somewhere. Great job implementing this classic game :) (also add a keyboard option ;) )
Good job making your first game! Overall it needs a lot of work but this is a good start. Here are a few subjective thoughts:
The controls are smooth but they are not responsible. The way you are calculating force makes it very hard to recover from mistakes. Compare this to another flappy bird game like MaverickBird - responsive, quick, precise. With this game I often felt like the mistake was because the controls were sluggish not because I made a mistake. Whether that is true or not it is how I felt and that is a huge part of the experience.
@Dualhammers that is the style of control I wanted. It isn't suppose to be like flappy bird. The controls are responsive, but they don't apply an impulse to your character.
Very nice work for a first Javascript game! Simple gameplay, but it's not bad at all. Graphically the game could be improved and some sound effects would help, but this isn't bad at all :).
Good use of the theme, however, it is a somewhat simple game. What I do find awesome is that you used webGL! And a very good effort if this is you first try! Keep it up!

Scrolling is very smooth. Nice bubble trail too!

Flappy bird becomes floaty sub.
