New challenges await!
This game was my passion project for the last 3 months!
It is a runner type game where you have to avoid clouds coming towards you. The idea is that you are creating a melody as you are flying the pig bird and interacting with items objects in the world.
The control is also simple, any button on your keyboard or mouse. Keep pressing any button of your choice to fly.
The pick up (star) will give different fun powers, it is up to you to discover them!
Watch out for the lighthouse!
Can you last 5 min (300 s) and pass the level? ;)
Check out the other levels!

Hey, thanks! Glad you liked it! :)
I liked the cute paper art style, but I feel the controls could be made to feel more precise and feel better. The hitboxes on enemies need a little reworking too, as the character may strike a cloud even though they don't seem to be touching any.
Pretty fun game overall, though!
CraftyPapeartGames responds:
Thank you for your review! I updated the game with reduced hitboxes on the clouds, so hopefully when you strike a cloud it doesn't feel cheap. What would make the controls feel better, do you feel a lag? Thanks!
An original and cute take on the flappy bird type games. The musical wining screen is a nice addition.
CraftyPapeartGames responds:
Thank you! Congrats on getting to the wining screen and beating the game! :D
controls are imprecisely and the hitboxes(mainly the clouds and sometimes you just randomly die outta nowhere) are awful.
Edit: the game crashes if left on idle.
CraftyPapeartGames responds:
Sorry, to hear that. Can you tell me which hitbox and I will try to fix it.
Edit: I updated the file.
The hitbox on the lighthouse has been reduced, so you can fly more easily underneath and also there is more leeway on the top now. The clouds had a tailored hitbox and pig birds hitbox was also ok, so I did not change that.
I tried to optimize the game, to make it run better on flash (i.e. I reduced the number of things on the screen), maybe the lag was making the controls worse. So hope the game runs and plays better now.
You can play the game by clicking the mouse button as well.
