Recently I’ve been tweeting a lot to find new games to test out and review, and had a lot of responses about games that are still in development. I received one tweet from a little bird called Spottish Games, the developer of Dry Bird, a simple puzzle game which involves moving back and forth and jumping to avoid getting hit by the constant waves of rain falling from the sky. When you get hit, it’s game over, and the aim of the game is to stay dry for as long as possible.
The controls flow brilliantly and I didn’t have any issues playing it, it’s nothing extremely exciting but was enjoyable the first few times I tried it and it did give me that enjoyable frustration feeling that I often mention experiencing with indie games. Every time you start a new game your bird character changes colour and the graphics are nice and clean.
The downside is that the game doesn’t seem to get any more difficult as you go along which leads to it becoming rather tedious after a while. The rain particles don’t have the best hit boxes either, and sometimes it looks like the rain has hit you but it actually hasn’t, which makes the game even easier to get through and thus making it really become repetitive after a few attempts of playing.
The game is still in development though so I can’t down-talk it too much, and it is a nice looking little game for passing the time at work. It’s enjoyable trying to get the best score you can and it would be an ideal game for kids to play due to the lack of difficulty.
If you want to give the game a go yourself, you can find it HERE.
As ever, thanks for reading, let us know what you think of the game if you try it out!
