The Bird Game, a fresh take on flight simulators, is crafted 'by pilots for pilots' but with a twist that appeals to everyone. Developed by the solo team at Candlelight Development, this game combines the passion and knowledge of aviation with the simplicity and fun that casual gamers crave. Available for free on iOS and Android, The Bird Game introduces players to a unique experience where you take on the role of a bird navigating through the skies.

In The Bird Game, your mission is straightforward yet engaging: collect feathers from other birds while skillfully managing your energy to flap and climb. The gameplay revolves around the fundamental principles of flight—trading energy to gain altitude and using altitude to increase speed. This dynamic is familiar to fans of simple flight sims, yet The Bird Game keeps the mechanics accessible, avoiding the dense avionic terminology that might overwhelm newcomers.

The game features seven distinct, procedurally-generated environment types, ensuring that each flight feels fresh and exciting. As you soar through these varied landscapes, you can unlock over 16 different bird avatars and upgrade your avian alter ego for enhanced speed and thrill.

The Bird Game evokes the charm of classic Flash games, which utilized similar mechanics to great effect. Candlelight Development strikes a perfect balance, infusing the game with their aviation expertise without alienating casual players who might not want a hyper-realistic simulation. This approach showcases their passion and dedication to creating an enjoyable experience for all.
