This is very cool - I really want to see it in other places outside of the US - I imagine the centre of Australia only has like 4 potential lines. Do you plan on expanding it beyond the US?

I'm not too sure on the music - but Flappy Bird is probably a good inspiration for some of the sound effects! I'd make the music not relatively low key/not too intense

Hey this game was fun - I kept on trying to use the UP button to jump instead of Space, but I think that's more of a user error issue as I realised it says it on the landing page. It was also a little counterintuitive to land on the other birds instead of trying to hit them with my horn/beak :D

I think it's good to have some sort of sound option, but with a toggle that's easy to switch off - could just be sound effects instead of music. Kind of need the sound to be relatively good and matching the game otherwise it can be more annoying than not.
