    One of the best games on the App Store... This game just works perfectly and to boot it puts you into a good mood full of positive vibes. Recommended to all for sure!

    I'd rather see either a night mode or some kind of zen mode than retina support or anything like that.

    That's very very impressive, man. It is quite amazing how you really nailed every aspect of the game's presentation and the gameplay at the same time. I certainly am surprised that you did everything yourself--I figured you'd had help with at least the music or the art. If I had any money to speak of I would invest it in your talents.

    Funny about the neighbors, although I bet they didn't think you were crazy, but rather having a really good time. :D

    Maybe all it is worth adding retina?

    Really great game! And that is why I'm a TA member or else this bird would have slid under the radar.:D

    A very quick and brief tap is what you need to use. That way you won't catch a lot of air. Basically, do a quick tap to get the bird going down and that is it. If I remember correctly, using that method, I was able to basically jump every other hill instead of flying over a bunch of them.

    Plus, if you time it right, you can get a perfect slide right out of the nest. :)

    You all suckered me into it. Purchased. I can't wait to try it out. I hope it's better then it looks in pictures and description, because to be honest it doesn't look like much. I'll take it that it's a lot better in practice. If not, you owe me 99 cents. ;) :)

    This game is pretty simple, but hard to master. I like it, Im anticipating (hopefully) GameCenter achievements and retina support.

    Hmm, maybe anyone can help me with the achievement

    Reach the 4th island without a single perfect slide...

    It's kinda hard to play that bad, after trying to keep fever mode up for more than 34 seconds :D btw I'm running out of time in the middle of island 3 if I don't use perfect slides :confused:

    I believe you only have to not use slides on the 3rd island, but I could be wrong. Try it though...

    Just wanted to say, great game. Amazing effort for a single dev :)

    I see it's already on top 50 Gross and rising up the charts on Arcade and Action!

    Well deserved!

    You can't use any slides all the way there. It's tough.
    I found that, if you focus on landing at the top of the wave, instead of riding into the trough, you sort of do a little skip, and it breaks your slide chain.

    Unlocked x26 nest a little earlier. It was tough!

    Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus--tremendous game! So 26X is the highest multiplier? Thanks in advance for any info.

    New skins maybe, but new modes seriously? I didn't see many people complaining about canabalt, monster dash and doodle jump only having one mode. Jeez, it's 99c for a game that oozes charm, is to addictive for it's own good and didn't the Dev say it took around 7 months to make.

    Anyone else love the physics and how well the camera pans in and out?

    No, I think x28 is. Or at least, that is what qpawn has. :)

    Not for long. This game is blowing up as we speak. Will be "New and Noteworthy " very soon. Possibly featured.
