Thirsty Bird

This game rocks. It's a ton of fun to play. The core mechanic is simple and intuitive to understand but challenging to master. Each level adds something interesting and new. The music, sound effects, and pixel art effects are all really high quality and make for a great experience. The pacing (both within a single level and over the course of a full run) is great and kept me hanging on. I love the combo and bonus point systems. Combined they make it super exciting to try ending with a high combo. And they reward me for free when i'm just hanging on by a thread. This is definitely a game I would (and will) continue playing over and over to try to get a better score. It actually feels achievable and actually fun to try again, unlike a lot of rhythm games where it's a lot of waiting to screw up or bullethell games where survival feels totally out of my control past a certain point.

oughhhh!! this game is so cute and rad!!! it's got 5 levels built in, which is fine, and i'm happy paying $2 (!!!) for how inventive and happy they were however this feels like a game slipping under everyone's radar and i'm sad about it! this could be a Lot More if it got a community building around it - i checked the discord and it's sadly a little dead. i really hope a renaissance manifests to make adding more levels and stuff worth it (the music is terrific)
