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 — Boing!

It gets me mad because it is a really good game. Why do they need so many adds it can’t be true. Change the game it would be so much better. ### 1/5 — Boôoooooooo *2018-01-09, version 1.0.9* Horrible worst game ever. ### 1/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!! *2016-11-30, version 1.0.8* I love how you can jump between poles like that one game. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2015-06-07, version 1.0.4* Ads pop up in the middle of the game, so you automatically lose. It's fun, but it needs A LOT of work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-05-17* Probably didn't notice this but the app doesn't work. It shows an icon and goes black for about 10, 15 seconds. Than returns to the home screen. Please help! I want to rate it higher, but not until the app is fixed. Please help. I will be deleting it from my iPad after this review is submitted. ### 1/5 — Way To Many Ads *2015-03-03, version 1.0.4* The ads are placed right in the middle of the screen so you are continually accidentally clicking them. For this game to improve the ads would have to be moved to the top of the screen or removed completely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!
