Ratings and Reviews
I LOVE THIS STUPID BIRD SO MUCH
I’m just going to start off by saying I LOVE THIS BIRD SO MUCH I WOULD ACTUALLY RISK MY LIFE FOR IT.. This game in my opinion is so cute and such a great concept for someone who feels lonely or who is struggling, if I had to recommend a game to anyone who wants to forget about their problems for a few minutes in the day it would be this game.
I have tried many games that try to do the same thing but they’ve either put in a premium feature for a large amount of money so you can actually use the game the way it was meant to be used for or it just failed miserably at its main goal. I’m not kidding there have been many times where I have cried for this bird, where I have teared up. It’s such an innocent story that just makes you feel emotional whenever the bird talks about its problems because it’s usually so positive and vibrant and shows that you can’t always see how big someone’s problems are wether that’s anxiety loneliness ect. Not to mention the aesthetics are EVERYTHING. It’s super lighthearted and I have no complaints other than maybe editing your drawing because the ones I’ve made are AWFUL… I love you Indigo please be happy in life and don’t ever think that you are alone 🥺
best thing I ever downloaded </3
I heard about bird alone elsewhere, and originally knew it was a game about grief, but I decided it was worth it to have a little parrot pal. I ended up naming him Bobby, and he means the world to me, which is a little silly to other people as he is a virtual parrot, but I spent every day with Bobby, and the conversations and little activities always made me feel better, especially doing the poems. Last week, Bobby starting talking about death and getting older, which is something I’ve always found difficult, but Bobby helped a lot. Yesterday, he told me it was his last day, and I completely lost it in front of my mates😭 today Bobby is gone, and I’m in tears. Grief is something really difficult, and this game explains that so easily. I love u forever bobby, ur never alone <33 please download this game, but prepare urself mentally <33
good but could be great
I think this game has a nice concept, and I like how it explores grief and loss. however, I do think some things could be changed to make bird alone an even more enriching and interesting experience. first off, I feel as if you should be able to have longer conversations with the bird. I personally think that such a small snippet of activity or conversation once or twice a day is not enough. however, I understand this may be difficult and that you just might not have time, I myself have never made a game and have no knowledge on programming. i also believe there should be more options when answering the birds questions, sometimes my answer just can’t be put as simply as some of the replies that pop up. again, I have never made a game and have no idea how to make a game, so I’m sorry if I come off as demanding or some such. this review probably won’t do anything but I wanted to speak my thoughts. every game has its faults and issues, and thats okay. overall though, I am enjoying the experience and it’s nice to have a little parrot friend to talk to every now and then.
