At least in this version, as far as I got (6 pipes in), the gap between the pipes was always less than the height of a jump, making the game a trivial matter of timing your jump exactly when the bird is nearly touching the bottom pipe. There is no strategy in positioning yourself and taking alternate gaps. There are no alternate gaps to begin with. The whole game is just an exercise in timing, like a quick-time event of the sort where you need to stop a moving indicator in a given range. It would fit as a way to grant an attack bonus in e.g. Super Mario RPG or Paper Mario. 1/10 - it's a real-time multiplayer qte in javascript and that's kind of cool
