Not really. Lower framerate does mean lower scores, but since it's slower and easier people might be able to survive longer, so they might achieve pretty much the same score. Source: I played with lower framerate once.

I'd still suggest to give a fixed rate of points no matter what the framerate is, which would probably be rather simple to do.

Okay. My school computers on Windows 7 seem to run the game faster than my Windows 10 computer that I'm on right now.

Also, I managed to become bored enough to play this until my score was 00:02:26.

Yeah true, but I mean I'm not a big fan of making game difficulty entirely dependent on your PC performance, regardless of if it's at your advantage or disadvantage. This makes the game look rigged if that's the case, IMHO.

On a side note, something I noticed with this game is that the bird will always move at the same speed regardless of how fast you rub its belly. It would be funny if it moved faster if you moved your fingers faster.

I noticed that too.
I was playing this at school, and the guy next to me was saying, "Rub faster!" and I was just like, "It makes no difference."

Yeah I would probably have been tempted to say the same thing if I didn't try the game first. Also it makes it a bit hard to figure out if we're rubbing fast enough. But I guess the game is still fun lol.
