Fun-ish. As a fan of "The Room" series of games, this has similar game play style. It is EXTREMELY easy compared to those of the genre defining series. Would recommend for those not familiar with these styles of games as it is more along the challenge factor of being an intro to the style. If looking for more of a challenge, I would advise you pass on this one.

update: its beautifully designed, I love the bird sounds and so do my cats :) there wasn't a tutorial, and to watch an ad for hints doesn't work. sometimes I had to exit and go back in, to pick the next level. only reason for 4 stars is that $4.99 is a little steep tho. unless there will be more levels added, $3 is more reasonable. I do recommend trying it out tho. the nature sounds are so relaxing. devs: it just needs a basic update to work out the kinks. I love the game now. :)

While the sounds are satisfying and the graphics are beautiful, this is definitely a game for beginners. The puzzles are almost maddeningly easy to solve, at least in the free packs. This doesn't give a player any incentive to buy the (rather expensive) next levels. Also, my game kept crashing after every level in the Goldfinch pack. I had to restart the game every time. Unless you are extremely new to escape room puzzles, I wouldn't recommend this one. It's not even a satisfying snack.

I love this game...BUT, I'm uninstalling due to the fact that you 1) Pay get puzzles (after the 10 they give you). 2) There are no hints or helps. You can watch an ad, I guess, but there's a glitch there, saying can't connect to internet (no problems on any of my other apps). So that's bothersome to me! I really like the simplicity of the "actual game." You have to figure out puzzles in order to find the key to unlock the cage, and set the birds free. The graphics are stunning! A+.

Cute game. I was a little disappointed that there were almost no birdsongs. And when you unlock the birdcage in each level, nothing special happens. It would have been great if there was a different birdsong for each level. It would have been more exciting to continue. All in all though, it is an original and fun game to play, and the ads are livable. Well done! Thank you!

I paid for an ad free version of this game. I finished the entire game and got all the achievements within 2 1/2 hours. This was not worth the $4.99. If you are someone who enjoys puzzle games and plays them frequently then this game is too easy for you. The game is better suited for someone new to puzzle games or kids. I gave 3 stars because the graphics, story, extra hidden gems, and interactive puzzles are decent.

I agree with the other reviews. This game gameplay and graphics wise is awesome, and I love the ominous atmosphere and the tone of the music as well as the sounds of the cranks and keys turning, it is all really satisfying. But the issue is with having to pay for the extra packs. Honestly we should have an option to watch ads to gain access to those if that is how it has to be. Granted these extra levels are pretty cheap but some people like me just don't have the option of payment through apps

It's a fun game. You solve puzzles to pass levels. The puzzles are fairly easy. I would have rated it 5 stars except that you get only ten levels to play free. After that you're expected to pay to continue. There are ads between levels so why do I have to pay money? I went through the ten levels in roughly 45 minutes, then uninstalled because I don't want to pay. It's a shame. You could have used ad revenue, but instead you chose to charge your players money. Not cool.

The puzzles are smooth, unique, and fun to discover the solution without hints. It reminds me a lot about the smooth puzzle design I saw in The Room series, where everything needed to solve the puzzle is present, one just needs to explore, experiment, and exercise perception and analytical skills. It's worth buying the game honestly. As a lover of birds, I took great flight in freeing them. There's a sad story behind this game to if one explores enough.

Barely a game The first 10 levels were excedingly easy and I flew through them in less than 20 minutes. The 10 free levels were so easy in fact, I don't really feel like paying 5 USD to get the other 15 levels is worth it. The graphics were good and what little backstory was present was easy enough to follow. Hopefully the story is not required for the sequel, because you can't get the full story here without paying, which is the most frustrating part.
