  • music13 mentions

  • gameplay6 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by its cute mechanics, including outfit customization and gift-giving to enhance the birds' happiness, reminiscent of titles like Neko Atsume and Tamagotchi. However, players have criticized the PC version for being slow and tedious, with mini-games serving as minor distractions rather than engaging content, leading to a lack of satisfying progression in the story and friendship levels. Overall, while the game's charm lies in its cuteness and idle elements, the gameplay experience is marred by frustrating mechanics.

    • “Mechanically, the game leans into cuteness; you buy outfits to make the birds even cuter, and you give them gifts so they’ll be happy and emote.”
    • “This game is so cute: it has mini-games, it has a story, it has a Neko Atsume-style gameplay, and it even has a Tamagotchi-like element.”
    • “The cuteness factor and idle aspect are what I like the most; it's not that type of game to expect riveting gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay on PC is tremendously horrible, very slow and unsatisfying, hard to progress on the story, nursery, and on friendship levels with various birds without exploiting glitches.”
    • “The mini-games do not make up for tedious gameplay; rather, they are thin distractions to keep you busy while you wait, which only prove successful for around 5 minutes.”
    • “It doesn't change gameplay, just weird.”
  • grinding5 mentions

    Players find the grinding in this game to be excessive, often taking days to earn currency and progress. The mini-games are seen as insufficient distractions from the tedious gameplay, and the slow development pace contributes to a frustrating experience.

    • “This game takes so much grinding compared to most (including the obvious inspiration, Neko Atsume).”
    • “I'd definitely wish grinding for currency didn't take many days, though.”
    • “Farming the feathers takes forever, and getting a bird to max hearts yields you a bit of information about the bird, an 'inspirational' quote and letter, and... a hat with the bird in question on.”
  • stability3 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly on PC.

Despite these challenges, the appeal of collecting birds keeps some players engaged.

    • “I can't believe how many features are locked behind paywalls; it really ruins the experience.”
