Snakebird

I’ve had this game for years now. Ignore the people complaining about lack of instructions. Too many games hold your hand. This game would have sucked if they went the route of having hours of “tutorial.” I am glad they let us figure it out. I just wish we had more. 41 levels didn’t feel like enough.

This game gets tough fast. I love it.

I’ll just say this right now. This game is not for everyone. The graphics may fool you into thinking it’s a simple easy puzzle game, but it is anything but. This is a hardcore puzzler up there with the witness and stephen’s sausage roll. It is brutally hard to figure out just how you are supposed to do what you need to do, and it is glorious to finally figure out the solution. I still haven’t beaten the game. I haven’t even really made it three quarters through the game. That said, if these first 20-30 levels are anything to go by, then these guys are experts in puzzle design. TLDR: if you want to figure out conundrums that are hard and often seem outright impossible at first, then this is the game for you. If you want a more laid-back experience that isn’t quite as difficult (nothing wrong with that), then this is NOT the game for you.

Yes, I’m one of the ones who got this on version 1 and played the whole game for free due to the glitch. But I have since purchased it guys, and thanks for a superb game! Very simple gameplay and the puzzles are quite hard! Some take only a few minutes but there were some that had me going back over and over trying to figure out how in the HECK do I get the birds to that finish spot??! All in all super enjoyable, great graphics, and I’ve kept my eye out for a Snakebird 2. I would pay right off the bat for that one 😉

It can be frustrating but in a good way. Too many times I’ve been laying in bed trying to go to sleep when an idea comes to me and I just HAVE to test it out. I beat it awhile ago and am currently attempting it a second time. The reason I deducted 1-star is because I found a bug on stage 42 that allows you successfully complete it by eating both fruit with one snakebird, sacrificing the smaller one by pushing it over the edge and going through the portal. For some reason when the little one goes over the edge, the back button highlights, doesn’t do anything and lets me continue. UPDATE: I found that the ability to “sacrifice” snakes occurs in just about any level by quickly moving another snake before it resets. What’s more concerning is the glitch was reported by another reviewer over a year ago and hasn’t been fixed. It makes me wonder if it’s because they’d be required to report their privacy practices and don’t want to. As a result, I’ve updated my review from 4-stars to 2-stars.

The puzzles are very thoughtful and intelligent, often with numerous catches and interesting ideas per level. The art style is adorable and the amount of detail present is quite impressive. Overall I would say this is one my favorite puzzle games. Keep up the good work, and please make another Snakebird game because I will eat it up :)

Great game. But if a 4 year old can excel at this game I’d be impressed.

I dont have the other levels
