Birdwatching Shenanigans To be honest I was not expecting to like the game this much as my first impression was this is just a take photos of birds that's all. But the game offers more than that. A tldr would be you can treat this as a clicker game if you want to rush getting more furniture to decorate your space, or afk let it be an animated background with a lot of lively birds and a very soothing bgm. The game manages to balance afk / clicking revenue well enough so you wont feel punished to click/your clicks aint worth the effort. The team also clearly cares a lot for the birds with their bird facts, especially with the writing - it's eggcellent humor. All in all a solid 9/10. Go get them birds :DD. My only suggestion would be is it possible to develop a layer system for future patches as it is sometimes frustrating to need to remove all items and rearrange them to be able to stack items as desired. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☑ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☑ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☑ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

I came across this game while browsing new releases, the name caught my eye, sounds funny, so I gave it a try – and honestly, I'm really enjoying it. Replayability What surprised me most is that it doesn't get boring quickly at all. In fact, I wanna say it has surprisingly high replayability. lemme break down why, based on these systems: 1. Trading – Sell dropped feathers and other stuff to a crow for coins, then use the coins to upgrade or build new things. 2. Upgrade – Unlocks new birds and new buildings, and maybe more, but I don't know yet. 3. The notebook & photo system – I think they are the real gems. To fully complete a bird's entry, you need to shoot photos of different behaviors - walking, flying, idling, feeding, etc. It does sound simple, but trust me, unlocking everything will take lotta time (I'm still stuck in BALCONY ;p). 4. Building – I really want to emphasize this one. There are tons of content waiting to be unlocked – decorations, structures, little details – that you can keep working on your bird area for a very long time. which means you can create a bird area that's truly yours with all the stuff. Graphics And don't let the pixel art fool you. The pixel art looks cozy but the game has more. The birds' movements are incredibly lively and full of details. The moment that surprised me for the first time was when I saw a sparrow turn its head to preen its feathers. That was really wow. And another detail that surprised me even more - when I was looking through the notebook, I noticed that for birds species where males and females look different in real life, the game actually distinguishes them visually. That's how I know they really care, and really know the birds! Tips maybe Don't spend your early coins on decorations like frames, windows, or backgrounds. They do look nice, but they won't help you progress. Coins are much better spent on upgrading and building things like platforms or food carts. These directly attract more birds, which means more feathers, more photos, and more coins in the long run. Bugs maybe It says I can auto-pick up feathers at level 4, but seems nothing happens... nah, no bugs, it's not the way that auto-picks up feathers immediately, it takes a bit. Give it a 9/10 for its price, content, cozy vibe and the efforts Devs put in, will spend more time on it. A few things added after putting another 10 hours into it This is a desktop idle game, so if you just sit there staring at it the whole time, you will get bored. But if you let it run in the background while you do other stuff, and then find your whole screen covered in feathers, that's pretty satisfying. Pick em all up, trade em for coins, then blow those coins on upgrades and decorations – real fun! Ah, about the photo system. If you're not a completionist, or don't know birds that well – trying to catch specific behaviors will be your huge pain, you'll be waiting forever...so, my advice is to shoot whatever photos happen naturally, or you will get bored too. Even if it makes me feel a little bored now, but how many games can I keep playing for hours and hours? So it's still a 9/10 to me. But if you really mind the things newly added above, this game may not bring you as much fun as you expect. Thank you if you read all my bullsheet ;) Have a good day, and good fun, mates.

目前体验下来真的是非常不错的,画面和音乐都非常舒适,节奏休闲舒适,作为现实里的观鸟人也能乐在其中。不过我也产生了一些对游戏后续更新的期待:如果可以加入求偶展示、育雏、乞食等小彩蛋动作,会大大增加游戏的趣味性,另外不同鸟的羽毛外观上能做稍微的区分,增加羽毛的收集要素则会更好,还可以增加吐食球,猛禽悬停捕猎,领地斗争打架之类的情节。加油!制作组很棒

Very chill game. When I played the demo on my steam deck I thought it was weird the background was black. When It came out I was home and I could play it on my desktop and suddenly it made sense because you can see your desktop xD. I love just chilling and watching the birds while listening to the music, taking pictures and clicking away to get stars. But I also farmed some stars clicking using auto-clicker while watching some anime on the side (with the sounds turned off). Very nice that you can decide for yourself how to play it. And I'm learning about all kinds of birds while playing it :D

If you love birds, I think you'll really enjoy this! I played the demo a few months ago and have been waiting for the full game ever since. I bought it literally as soon as i could. The are so many little details that make this such a beautiful game, not to mention the decorations are absolutely adorable. I cannot recommend this game enough.
