About BIRDCAGE
BIRDCAGE is a fast-paced, vertical scrolling shoot ‘em up that blends the explosive action of 90s arcade classics, with modern gameplay and storytelling.What is the value of a bullet, when you wield a sword?
- In BIRDCAGE, the player controls the experimental RADON gunship HALCYON. The HALCYON is equipped with a wide shot, focus shot, and its main offensive and defensive weapon, The SWORD.
- BIRDCAGE features an engaging sci-fi story, set in a divergent human future. Inspired by games like Metal Gear Solid, BIRDCAGE touches on futuristic science and technology, political and military power struggles and the nature of the human unconscious mind.
- Story Mode, the game’s main mode is set across six stages featuring mid-bosses, stage bosses and narrative interludes.
- Arcade Mode is Story Mode without the narrative, aimed at letting players go after score in a quicker, more convenient way.
- Score Attack is a race against the clock to chase the highest score, while honing your skills at the game. Enemies spawn endlessly within a set time limit.
- Inspired by 90s video games and anime, BIRDCAGE makes use of techniques such as sprite scaling, pre-rendered backgrounds and limited textures to mimic the look of early 3D games.
- The game's soundtrack combines the sounds of 90s music hardware with modern synthesis and samples to create something authentic and exciting. BIRDCAGE features over an hour of dynamic music, hundreds of bespoke sound effects and retro-styled voice acting for stage bosses.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
great music, cool art, anime maximalism the sword weapon feels really good to swing & fire and i adore a shmup where i'm always adjusting what weapon to use in which situation... deffo wanna play more
As the noclip guys said: I've never loved a game I suck at more. Amazing. Lovely gameplay, beautiful graphics, the music is banging on my earbuds even in the street. Treat yourself.
Game is amazing! Soundtrack it s banger! Plays great on PC and Steam Deck!
This is the first bullet hell I've ever got into, now I finally understand how it feels to experience the genre. It's all thanks to how stylish this game is, LOVE the visuals and music. I play the soundtrack a lot whenever I'm on a car ride. This game just feels special and I can't wait for the dev's new RPG that's being worked on. Looks awesome. Please buy this game
Insane soundtrack and presentation. I'v never played shmups but this is pretty good. Def looking forward what these guys can cook next.
if Treasure had released this, we would be saying "They did it again! another amazing shooter" it's got a horrible name that will have people scroll past it who would probably love it, but the name is the only negative I have seen. They have improved Radiant Silvergun's sword by letting you control it with the R Stick, and when you let go it shoots out., very powerful. Unlike Radiant it is the only way to hit anything behind you. The wide shot should probably fire a shot directly behind you too just to give you more cover. If you like shooters, or Treasure you should buy this
