### 5/5 — better than expected

*2026-06-18, version 1.0.9*

Was a but skeptical cause of the reviews but the game wasnt as terrifyingly difficult as the others made it out to be! I enjoy it and think its a good game :) just struggling to get above 30 LOL

### 5/5 — a good game!

*2026-06-14, version 1.0.9*

Defs a bit hard cause even when I hit my birds head on the pipe I die, but the difficulty makes it more fun and engaging! Been addicted these past few days :)

### 5/5 — Supper good 😁👍

*2025-01-06*

Super fun game very good i recommend

### 3/5 — It’s good, but there’s a glitch

*2024-01-13, version 1.0.9*

If you tap forever, then you go off screen and then your speed will increase and it will go very very fast until you stop tapping and then he just like bangs onto the floor

### 4/5 — Not bad!

*2023-11-18, version 1.0.9*

I like this game. BUT the jumps are too high so it makes it’s harder. I would play this game 24/7 if the jumps were less high. :3

### 3/5 — oke

*2023-08-08*

just like birdy flapp under water but penguini can get out of screen if flapp too much

### 3/5 — Ok…

*2023-08-08, version 1.0.9*

It’s okay it’s just challenging so if you don’t like it that’s fine but it’s a good challenge

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-06-30*

It’s an amazing game I was so mad when flappy bird disappeared and then I found this game

### 5/5 — It's very funny.

*2023-06-09*

The only negative point that I find in this game is that if you crash quickly, die, they do not have an option of three lives

### 5/5 — The best thing ever

*2023-04-15, version 1.0.9*

I can’t think of
A reason I just love the game so much
