The passion and knowledge behind many great game releases are evident in The Bird Game, a new flight simulator developed by the solo team at Candlelight Development. With a focus on aviation—or aviaries, in this case—this fun and fast-paced game is available for free on both iOS and Android platforms.
In The Bird Game, you take on the role of a bird with the goal of collecting other birds' feathers while managing your energy to flap and climb. If you're familiar with simple flight sims, you'll recognize the dynamic between altitude, speed, and resource management to maintain your energy levels.
Despite being crafted by an aviation enthusiast, The Bird Game steers clear of complex avionic jargon and mechanics. Instead, it offers an engaging experience as you navigate through seven distinct, procedurally-generated environments. You can unlock over 16 bird avatars and enhance your bird's speed and performance for an even more thrilling experience.
The game evokes memories of classic Flash releases with similar mechanics, yet Candlelight Development strikes a perfect balance. They infuse the game with their passion and expertise without making it overly complex, ensuring it's accessible and enjoyable for casual players as well.
You can download The Bird Game for free on Android and iOS, with optional in-app purchases available. To stay updated on other great, underrated releases like The Bird Game, be sure to check out our weekly feature highlighting the top five new mobile games to try each week!
