### 4/5 — Not bad

*2014-04-14, version 1.4*

I got a little frustrated but that's what the games supposed to do. :) I give this game some Mayer credit

### 4/5 — Great but..

*2014-04-14, version 1.4*

This game is good but it would be better if there wasn't an add that popped up every time..

### 2/5 — Flappy Bird's Twin

*2014-04-13, version 1.4*

It's as though they took flappy bird and instead of going to the right you go downward…not a fan of the idea but the coding and UI was done half decent. 2/5 stars I didn't like it.

### 4/5 — ok but still fun

*2014-04-13, version 1.4*

needs some work but i can see the potencial to be the next flappy bird
