Early Bird

early-birdEarly Bird is a physics-based puzzle platformer that’s actually more similar to golf than anything else.Early Bird doesn’t exactly break new ground in gaming, but it offers a fun way to pass the time and some adorable graphics of baby birds and their sneering worm enemy.The idea is that you control a bird by swiping across the screen trying to make your way across a level to a target where a worm has taken up residence.Get there in fewer swipes than the game offers for each level, and you’ll be the early bird, with a star rating to match.Run out of swipes, and you’ve got to start the level over.A number of obstacles:changing terrain, thorns, swinging wooden blocks stand in your path, but other objects:spring-equipped flowers and gusts of wind can help you on your journey.With 96 levels across four landscapes and the promise of more to come that’s a lot to keep gamers coming back for more.The graphics and sound are cute, the gameplay is solid and there are plenty of rewards to go after, from that aforementioned rating to bonuses for landing right on the target and so on.Early Bird’s not quite as risky or groundbreaking as Booyah’s other titles, but it’s a solid game for sure, and shows that when Booyah wants to focus strictly on hitting the right market with a well-made game, they can do just that.
