The Bird Game, by pilots for pilots, out now on iOS & Android

The Bird Game, a fresh and exciting flight simulator, has been crafted 'by pilots for pilots' by the solo team at Candlelight Development. This game, however, steers away from dense aviation mechanics, prioritizing simplicity and fun. Players can immerse themselves in the art of flight, trading energy to climb and using altitude to gain speed across seven distinct, procedurally-generated environment types.

Driven by a passion for aviation, The Bird Game brings a unique twist to the genre: you play as a bird. Your goal? To soar through the skies, collecting feathers from other birds while carefully managing your energy to flap and climb. This mechanic will be familiar to fans of simple flight sims, where balancing altitude, speed, and resource collection is key to maintaining your energy levels.

Despite its roots in aviation enthusiasm, The Bird Game doesn't overwhelm players with complex avionic terminology or mechanics. Instead, it offers an accessible experience, allowing players to race through diverse environments, unlock over 16 bird avatars, and upgrade their bird for enhanced speed and excitement.

The Bird Game evokes memories of classic Flash games that utilized similar mechanics. Candlelight Development has successfully found the sweet spot, infusing the game with passion and expertise without sacrificing accessibility for casual players.

You can download The Bird Game for free on both Android and iOS, with optional in-app purchases available. To stay updated on great, underrated releases like The Bird Game, be sure to check our weekly feature highlighting the top five new mobile games to try each week for exciting upcoming releases!
