- “A fun 2D platformer with an interesting mechanic of flinging yourself with your beak.”
- “I'm not particularly great at precision platformers, but the charm and challenge of this game, as well as the interesting mechanics, completely drew me in and got me addicted.”
- “Level design feels great and there are some cool mechanics.”
- “While it may seem charming, it's kind of just Celeste but with a flick mechanic. I'd give a little leeway with how janky the game feels, but considering the cover art got swapped out for a lazy AI image, that leeway's gone.”

- “There are a few parts that feel a bit too tight, but otherwise I really like the mechanics. I did struggle a bit at first with the controls (which the fact I couldn't find out how to remap them didn't help), but once I got used to them it was a lot of fun!”
