I cannot believe I didn't review this the first time I played it... I don't remember how long ago it was but it left an incredibly lasting impact. This is a strikingly beautiful game. -spoilers incoming- Frankly, it broke me a bit. I didn't see the ending coming and I was crushed. I chose to keep the memories alive and that instance of the game still exists on my last phone, untouched like a tomb. I still miss my first bird but I look forward to the journey with my next.

(SPOILERS) I've never felt the need to write a review before, but WOW. The bird is so funny and overdramatic while talking about surprisingly relevant yet fun topics. It is pretty disappointing that the bird dies, but I understand that the developers can't make it endless. I feel like games that end within a month or so should be free though. I would definitely like an update, mainly to add more time between the start and finish of the game. I can't help but grin while playing, amazing game!

Love coming back for this bird. The dialogue is interesting and heavy topics in such a calm and friendly way. I've been using it for like a month now and it's a good game/app for people who feel lonely (or anything else). I wish the drawing board had just a little bit more, maybe one more color to pick from or an drag-able eraser.
