Update:Wow- thank you so much for the prompt response! I did as you suggested and uninstalled and reinstalled the game and set the graphics to low. It worked! So I updated my review from 3 stars to 5. Thanks again for the immediate response. It makes a world of difference when developers actually care about the end users and respond to any and all concerns. Thanks so much!I wrote a review for this game a few months ago and explained how i was unable to play it due to the fact that it made my phone EXTREMELY hot and drains my battery in literally minutes. Not sure what happened to my review... please don’t tell me y’all delete “not so good” reviews??? The gameplay is ok, graphics are nice, I just can’t play it and had to delete it. The battery consumption was ridiculous. I started with 79% battery and within a 3 minute timeframe it dropped down to 60%. This is the ONLY game that does this. I’d like to know what the developers think about this, I googled why and read about the causes, and it’s not my phone, but I know I’m not the only person in the world with this problem. Please do not delete my review.

Just finished the first Birdcage and loved it, was one of my favorite games ever! Wish I could say the same for the second Birdcage. There is some kind of wand and your supposed to wave it or something? It really does not explain it, I just sort of wave it around until something happens, but it didn’t do anything most of the time. Found it very distracting and it took away from the mechanical puzzles. To bad.☹️Okay, I changed my mind. I finally figured out that you don’t have to wave the magic wand around, you just put the wand on your rainbow item. This changed the whole game for me! I loved it, I even loved using the wand. Both Birdcage games are two of the most outstanding games I ever played. Please disregard my first review. ( The only criticism I would have, is that I never figured out what to do with the scrolls and the box on the starting page in Birdcage TWO?)But you can still play the game without it. 🤩

This is one of my favorite games. My rating reflects my personal preferences; so if you agree that The Room, DaVinci, and Monument Valley are excellent games, read on. The idea is to solve puzzles and eventually find the key to open the cage. It’s a simple idea with a variety of interesting puzzles that range from relaxing and relatively easy to more challenging. There is a consistent logic so the player can eventually find the solution without hints, walkthroughs, or guides; all it takes is focus and reasoning. The graphics are sharp, well designed, and add much to the pleasurable experience. There is a storyline and its interesting but not necessary. There are far more challenging games but I lose interest and get frustrated when the logic is too convoluted and it’s impossible to solve without using a lot of hints. This game is well worth the price.

It’s a good game, I have no fundamental problems, I bought the extra levels for both birdcage 1 and 2, and I was glad I did for both. Everything about this game is fine. I find the the spells and otherwise entire premise of the game is lengthy, and the unlock spell seems to override the entire point of getting a key if you can merely open the cage.. Regardless the only vague problem I have is that the the game can be shortened, and I don’t understand why spells would be added, if you could merely add more levels. I suppose because many ideas were already used in the first game. Either way, none of the levels ARE repetitive, but several levels are just a repeat of an earlier one in a new order, whereas in birdcage 1 it had original and entirely new levels, ie, the claw machine level, and often new concepts were being introduced.Also the hidden items and otherwise story idea was a fantastic choice and I want to know more about it, good job.
