Fun little game! A vertical Flappy Bird with a flying cup of cocoa is a pretty funny idea. I liked the changing scenery as you climbed, especially the day and night transitions. Simple but pretty addicting! Could definitely see this working well as a mobile game.

When I played score mode and it changed to nighttime, it reminded me of Leaf Leap from Mario Party 5 which made me smile. This game is very fun, Played the story mode a bit too, not sure how the limitation was implemented.
I immediately thought of flappy bird but upwards :D Really well made!
Really fun gameplay! The lighting is gorgeous and I love how the vines grow!
I got until 480 and then stopped, but I did quite enjoy what I played!! Very flappy bird core, engaging and fun !
I couldn't get to the end, I was very close though. Still I did like the game. Art style was very nice. The story is quite wakey and funny. I'm not sure how it used the limitation though. I could see this as a small funny mobile game. Maybe adding some other obstacles later on could be cool. Like going through storm dodging lightnings or a plane or something like that. Maybe even adding slowly growing beard on the cup could be fun. Also too bad there are no actual wings. Idk if there is a music but I couldn't hear any. Nice game though.
Cocoa-Flappy-Bird, born to be drunk, cannot fly...
Oh yes it can!! JUST LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DOING — IS HE EVEN IN HIS RIGHT MIND???
This cocoa accelerated to 3 km/second and broke through several of Earth's atmospheres.
Actually, I really liked the visual polishing, and the simplicity of the visuals becomes a tool. My God, those sun rays and other objects in the background look so tasty. Especially against the rather basic pixel art. A really cool decision.
As for the gameplay, at first I didn't realize it was a vertical Flappy Bird and tried to jump on the ground??? But then I racked up 400 points and realized I'd never reach the game's ending — but purely as my theory as a fan of this game, the cocoa will blow up the moon and everyone will die.
I'll be satisfied.
This is a good game and feels very polished, the first one I have seen with mobile controls. The day night cycle looked really good! The sound could have used some work with spam clicking becacuse it just resets the same audio clip instead of spawning a new one. I couldn't fully see how it incorperated the limitation (Might just be user error) but other than that Good game!โ โ โ
