Falling objects

Falling items are hazards in Cooped Up.

Appearance
Falling items usually appear as objects that are larger than the finch. They can take the form of a soda can or apple core.

Game information
When the player has ascended a certain amount above 40, items are usually dropped from the top of the screen. They are signalled by a flashing "!" sign briefly before the item falls, occupying a portion of the game screen. If the finch is in the way of the item's trajectory, the finch will instantly die.

The finch is not affected by falling items when the player has filled up the bug metre and is currently under the effect of a boost.
