Bird Up

What Is Bird Up?

Bird Up is a frantic browser-based arcade game that transforms the traditional flapping gameplay mechanic into an utterly chaotic and surprisingly addictive new form. Based on casual and young player demographics, the game provides a dramatic encounter in which timing, concentration and speedy reflexes are the winning factors. Bird Up isn’t just a 2D side-scrolling affair, it’s a vertical climbing challenge that sees players avoiding a host of moving obstacles and enemies.

Bird Up is challenging as balls and it’s always knocking you down, but the game’s play space changes often enough to make every run a new experience. This constantly rotating trio of machines (RMS), swings traps and gaps, assures that playing one game over and again will never have the same experience with a game. This is the stuff of player addiction — they keep coming back for more, trying to outrun their own previous best scores.

Simple Controls

Bird Up has a lot of advantages, and one of them is that it is very simple to get into. They are extremely easy to use:

• Press left mouse button to flap upwards.

It’s that kind of one-button gameplay that makes it easy to pick up and play, but hard to get good at, which is a great learning curve for players of all skill levels.

Bird Up Is Just Hard Enough to Challenge You

Bird Up is unique in the way it challenges you to react and think on the fly:

• The direction of mobile obstacles may be reversed, requiring fast reactions.

Vertical scrolling gives you less time to respond, so tension is higher. One error is fatal, which means you need to make each move count.

This potpourri of factors brings about a tense experience that has a player playing again and again to optimize the run.
