Bird Game

I wish I could recommend this, especially since this is a bird game and I also like and try to support small indie developers. But with this game.. I just don't feel good recommending it. The game definitely has an interessting artstyle and it starts off nice and interessting, but I'd argue it's also slightly missleading, since this is less a relaxing bird flight simulator and more a bossfighting and avoiding of obstacles kinda game, with a difficulty level that is just too high in my opinion. I don't doubt that there are a ton of people out there who'd like this kind of game, but me, as someone who loves bullet hells and such, somehow don't. If it wasn't for the tedious and incredibly long boss battles, that are not just unforgiving with health as well as kind of badly telegraphed, it would be fine, but those battles took all the joy for me. Things hit you, when you are barely able to tell depth and were to dodge, specific key buttons don't work and things become a memorize each pattern until you know how to beat it, and still a single little mistake can mess you up and having you start all over. Tl,dr: Nice artstyle, difficult bird flying game with bosses and obstacles to avoid. Fun for some people, but definitely not for everyone.

I’m going to have to give this one a hard pass. Boss battles are stupidly confusing, I keep getting hit and I honestly don’t know how to dodge, as moving at the last second or diving down doesn’t help me at all. Holding down shift does nothing but makes swooshing sounds when I turn and makes me *slightly* faster, (I think?) but not enough to make a difference. I somehow managed to spin but I’m not sure how I did it. I looked at the controls in the game to figure out how I can play this, and it says “Q” and “E” can make me spin out of the way, which, great, that’s what I was looking for! Except nothing happens when I hit the keys or hold them down. This game looks easy, but either I’m ignorant on how this thing works or this game sucks.

this brings me back to when i used to play this with my buddy mikeoconut and when bird game 2 was gonna come out and that day when bird game 3 FINALLY released and it was perfect man thanks for keeping this game up

Don't let this beautiful art distract you, this is an "unnecessary" hard game, i mean first, when you design a game witch involved maneuver in order to avoid ennemy, you don't put a white ground, the player needs reference to estimate distances. So at every turn you just wish you will not collide... I didn't go through the first level. There is really too much stuff to evade for the first boss... I don't know for what age range this game is made, but i don't know if a kid would enjoy. The first boss music was cool.

Got game from Salad for $0.25 so if it was that price on here i would 100% recommend it but for almost $3.00 is almost outrageous. the game isn't TOO relaxing BC it reminds me of a Minecraft Elytra course but the music is nice. also big boss at the end so your not playing just a bird Microsoft flight simulator. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☑ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

Bird Game is a somewhat unusual 3D rendered low poly/minimalist rear view endless runner with bullet hell elements as you control a bird through various obstacles. Despite being billed as a casual game, it's considerably difficult, although it's unclear if this is due to poor game design and lack of polish, or specific intent. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, even though they are stylised to try appear cel shaded/hand drawn, it still makes this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. Bird Game didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for for beating the first "boss" encounter, trivial to get, but less than 21 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. Bird Game is relatively cheap at $3, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This game features a number of suspicious, likely fake positive reviews. The reviews all appear at almost exactly the same time, precisely one after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and all have very similar wording and writing style. A full THIRD of the reviews for this low quality game appear instantly, exactly one day after launch, and the others appeared slowly over the last 4 years. This is highly unusual given the very low quality of the game and poor player counts. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt. This might be done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.

A perfect blend of strategy, FPS, action, and RPG elements all wrapped up in one amazing package for a low price. The graphics truly re-define the current standard of this generation, along with the music rivaling the greatest composers of all time. If you haven't bought bird game, you are missing out on the best gaming title of all time.

Honestly one of the best games ive ever played. imean it takes in to account all fo the things that make a grate game. My sister knows the developer personally and he hase put tons of time into this game. I hope you injoy the game like i will. P.S. : amasing controler sapport and graphics.

can feel difficult to see where your player is in relation to obstacles sometimes but overall a fun little game :)

Bird Game has a beautiful art style and music that makes it truly a work of art. With that said, I was disappointed with the gameplay as I found the visual depth issue to be too jarring which in turn made everything harder than it needed to be.
