Ratings and reviews

I'm comparing it to Flappy Bird. One thing I like about this one is that hitting a cactus doesn't immediately end the game, but pushes the bird to the back of the screen. One the negative note, this game has less gravity than flappy bird and a faster horizontal speed. This can make it nearly impossible to drop down fast enough sometimes. The gravity should be slightly increased, or provided in a setting.

Many people (including the creator of this game) have claimed that Flappy Bird is just a rip-off. Just because it's about a fat-lipped bird dodging obstacles? I don't get it. This game is mind-numbingly, almost insultingly easy. While FB frustrates you with its insane difficulty, PP frustrates you by not fitting on a normal Android phone screen, forcing landscape view, and disgusting lag thanks to its horrid resource management. "Mushy" is the only way I can think of to describe the simple tap controls, which is pretty bad when it's literally just "tap the screen to go up." The flight arc is extremely shallow, so you have to tap RAPIDLY to get from the bottom to the top. Long story short, if you're looking for a replacement for FB, just find one of the many downloads online. This is just not the same.

The bird flaps high and the cacti come at you quite fast, so it's hard to avoid hitting them, but once I realised that's not the end of the game, I started to get into it. It's actually quite good. This game "inspired" Flappy Bird, and I have played it too, and I think they are a bit too different in game play to compare. I like both, but Piou Piou is much funnier with the hilarious cartoon-like sound effects and the way the poor bird gets dragged over all the cactus spikes!!
