General Commentary and Game Overview
As soon as I saw that this was a Flappy Bird clone, I knew I had to make a statement. I utterly hate Flappy Bird; it is a clone of games such as Helicopter, except with no variety whatsoever, as the only thing that changes are the positions of the pipes. Not even the GAPS between the pipes change! And since its release, its entirely undeserved popularity spawned countless clones over the days, and this is no different. You'd think out of the thousands of clones out there, and considering how effortless it is to emulate the formula, some would actually try to fix the problems with Flappy Bird and add more elements and features, but apparently, all they have done was do the exact same things!

This is just another clone, only with another fatal flaw.
 
Pros -Beats me
 
Cons -Flappy Bird clone
-Nothing added onto Flappy Bird formula
-Pipes move slightly fast enough so you have a quarter of a second to react
 
Impressions
Gameplay
1 / 10
Press Spacebar to flap. Just like Flappy Bird. Also like that notoriously popular app, if you can time your flaps properly, you can go through the pipe gaps easy and consistently. However, in this particular clone, because the pipes move slightly faster than they should, you don't have any time to transition from one pipe to the next, rendering your next flap a guessing game.

Not to mention, there is absolutely no content other than this one ability to flap through pipe gaps. There are no game modes, no items, no change in pipe usage, NOTHING!
 
Graphics
6 / 10
The graphics work, I guess. They've been probably used rather much, but they fit fine.
 
Sound
4 / 10
The sound effects are fine, except for how there's no smacking sound effect when Mario strikes a pipe. But how about some music? I don't want to hear that Flappy Bird had no music, because that would only show me that the developer didn't bother to add something that would've made this stand out from other clones.
 
Replay
1 / 10
You don't need Flappy Bird on your computer. You don't need a Flappy Bird clone on your computer, either.
 
Final Words
1 / 10
Ironically, Mallow Maze was better than this. It was at least more original and had an end to it.
