General Commentary and Game Overview
A Flappy Bird clone, over a year and a half late coming. Except this time, with Mario in it.

I was one of the great hordes of people who actually liked Flappy Bird when it came out, so my review won't be as scathing as the others. As for this version, it might be very short and very basic, but it is what it is: a working Flappy Bird clone. It's imperfect, but it's not bad.
 
Pros It's fun
It's a true-to-life Flappy Bird clone
Everything works properly, no noticeable bugs
 
Cons The screen is too tall; some pipes are impossible to pass from some angles
It lacks some of the polish; the UI should more clearly show me my current score, for example
I should only have to press one button in a Flappy Bird clone; idk why I press Space to flap and Enter to start over
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
 It's almost as fun as the original. Pressing space was the best option for a PC version, but space should've also started me over after I died instead of requiring that I press enter. Also, some pipes were impossible to pass if, say you're all the way at the top of the screen and the next opening is at the bottom.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
 There are sprites taken from several different Mario games. They clash to an extent, but it's not that bad.
 
Sound
8 / 10
 Minimal noise. Only a flapping sound, no music. I think that's the way a Flappy Bird game should be, though.
 
Replay
5 / 10
 The game's overall value is increased by the fact that it's another working Flappy Bird clone, but the replay value is drastically decreased by the number of Flappy Bird clones out there. If you want to play Flappy Bird on PC, you want to support a local MFGG fangame developer, and you want Mario in your Flappy Bird, then this imperfect version might be worth considering.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
 It's a Flappy Bird clone. It's fun, but lacks some of the polish the original had.

This review isn't going to my head. I don't have an "ego", dude. But this review, like DJ Coco's, considers what the game was made to be, what the game actually is, and compares the two (rather than comparing it to every other game on the site). I'm not sure why you feel the need to be rude to everybody who has something good to say about it, because he listed a fair amount of cons as well. And note that when I update the game, I'm taking advice from BOTH HylianDev AND you, Jack-of-All Games, among other people. So please, PLEASE stop your whining.
