I really wanted to like this game. Its graphics and sounds are adorable and the concept is fun and interesting. Unfortunately, I got stuck pretty early on after the initial set of levels. Actually, I never even beat level 7 or level +1. Because the game allows you to tackle challenges without the proper experience, but doesn’t give you an opportunity to develop skill fast enough, I feel trapped without a walkthrough. I really don’t want to look up solutions, and I haven’t yet (at least not as of me writing this) but I feel like there are some fundamental skills I need that I’m just missing entirely. Often this game feels impossible, but not “fun” impossible. impossible impossible.
In 2 earlier levels, the concept of multiple controllable snake-birds is introduced. It doesn’t, however, teach you how to control one. After killing a sleeping bird, I realized killing birds lets you control them. THIS WAS NOT THE INTENDED LESSON! Because the levels are so strict, this was unacceptable, and it wasn’t until I accidentally tapped a sleeping bird when I learned they can be controlled by tapping. I think if this game had a less sharp difficulty curve, and better communication with the player, it’d be a great puzzle game. Until then, I somewhat regret my purchase.
