The Bird and the Bicycle
a lo-fi endless runner
How far will you go? Take a roadtrip along peaceful country roads, as you fly through an ever changing sky, in this cosy, atmospheric, arcade game, with a retro aesthetic and soundtrack to match.
controls
D-Pad/Arrow Keys - move the bird
A Button/Z or C Keyboard - jump the bike
how to play
Collect as many letters as possible with the bird while avoiding hitting obstacles on the road as the bike.
Hitting an obstacle with the bike will cause it to become unsteady and slow down. If the bike slows down too far it will fall over and end the run. Land the bird on the bike to return it to normal.
If you hit an obstacle while the bike is unsteady, or if the bird is pushed off-screen too far to the left, the run will end.

what a super clever and charming little game... managing to invent something new on a runner... congratulations. The production is very pretty and a real poetry emerges from the whole... it's super cool
Awesome! I love the 3D /parallax ground effect. The two tasks fit together very well imo. The atmosphere feels great
