About Thirsty Bird

Hang in there, thirsty bird.

It gets hot out in the desert. So what's a flightless chick to do but rely on the mercurial blessings of the clouds above? Hang in there, thirsty bird; the sands are alive, and you might just find an unlikely ally lurking beneath.

A retro-ish rhythm-ish game about catching raindrops.

Dodge, weave, and catch with an unusual two-level control scheme. Use the rhythm of the skies to help your timing. Go with the flow and let your hands learn to work together. It feels a little like learning a musical instrument. This game is hard to master, but the levels are gentle -- you can do it!

Catchy little tunes to keep you in the zone.

Five environments (and counting!) each with its own unique mechanic and song, plus a harder version for challenge junkies. Plus, you can import custom levels, and write your own with the dead-simple BirdScript chart system! It's real easy, I promise.

oughhhh!! this game is so cute and rad!!! it's got 5 levels built in, which is fine, and i'm happy paying $2 (!!!) for how inventive and happy they were however this feels like a game slipping under everyone's radar and i'm sad about it! this could be a Lot More if it got a community building around it - i checked the discord and it's sadly a little dead. i really hope a renaissance manifests to make adding more levels and stuff worth it (the music is terrific)

This is a must-play. What a joyous little game. The music is great and it's packed with charm, it's got a sliver of that Rhythm Tengoku starstuff inside of it and I hope the developer keeps it up.

Help quench this thirsty bird! The game provides an easy to learn, hard to master concept that is addictive to play. The gameplay is matched by an excellent soundtrack that fits the gameplay well and keeps you upbeat. Can’t wait to see it develop further.
