Fun little game!
everything about this is just so perfect and i could only wish for this to be available on the switch
wha
This is an excellent game. It's fun, creative, challenging (to me), but not frustrating. I've enjoyed it so much, I've purchased everything they've put out. Oh, the music and visuals are fantastic too. Black Bird was absolutely worth my money.
I can't put this game down. It's all the best parts of games like Fantasy Zone, obviously, but there's some R-Type in there too. Maybe even a little Progear as well. The game is very well put together, the scoring system isn't too complex, and the music is really neat. To the girl who recommended me this, I will be beating your high score, just gimme a minute!
This game deserves to be played more and an overwhelmingly positive rating.
