Hey there. Some constructive criticism, as requested:

- When you are flying rather low, the score on the upper right covers a lot of the coming obstacles. You should put it at the upper left with the other one (bottom right would be covered by your thumb).

- It is not always easy to tell which of the obstacles are dangerous to you, and which are off to the side. This can be frustrating. Mark them, if you have to.

- The bird feels a little disconnected from the rest of the world. I tried to pin down why, and saw that it does not cast a shadow on high ground, and only rarely on low ground. I know it wouldn't be consistent with the rest of the shadows, but try to give him one that is cast (almost) directly below him. Might look better, might not.

- I like the look overall. But everything about it screams "cute", and the main character just isn't, at least from behind. In comparison, the cat works well. Maybe make the bird more round as well.

- Imo, either more background decoration or none at all would be better. As it is, the solitary floating island every once in a while just makes the environment look more barren, which again clashes with the cute theme. However, this is very subjective, others might feel different.

Good luck with your launch!
