So far it’s been fun! I’ve been able to control the bird ok, the issue I have, is that you literally have to spend real money to refuel the bird, not happy about that! If that weren’t the case, I’d keep playing the game!!

### 4/5 — Cooles Game

*2019-03-23*

Das Spiel ist sehr gut nur die Grafik lässt ein bisschen zu wünschen übrig. Die Werbung die andauernd eingeblendet wird nervt, aber schaltet man das Internet aus ist das Problem auch gelöst. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, das das Game sehr viel Spaß macht.

Frohes Spielen und Viel Spaß.
