Birds and Saws



iu_1174402_21361321.gif


Dive into the retro charm and challenge yourself as you guide a bird, skillfully avoiding menacing circular saws to rack up high scores.


iOS version of this game named "Birds & Saws" is available at app store.


Gameplay


Blades ascending from below prompt the player to move upward swiftly, requiring nimble maneuvers to avoid a perilous demise.

  • You can jump off mid-flight without waiting for the current jump to land.
  • The lower blades progressively increase in speed over time.
  • The saws' velocity is limited, reaching a challenging top speed that demands swift maneuvers to escape.


Controls

  • ⬅️ or [Z] to jump left
  • ➡️ or [x] to jump right


Check out this article in the Pico-8 magazine that could be intriguing for game developers:
