The Birdcage 2

Update: Wow- thank you so much for the prompt response! I did as you suggested and uninstalled and reinstalled the game and set the graphics to low. It worked! So I updated my review from 3 stars to 5. Thanks again for the immediate response. It makes a world of difference when developers actually care about the end users and respond to any and all concerns. Thanks so much! I wrote a review for this game a few months ago and explained how i was unable to play it due to the fact that it made my phone EXTREMELY hot and drains my battery in literally minutes. Not sure what happened to my review... please don’t tell me y’all delete “not so good” reviews??? The gameplay is ok, graphics are nice, I just can’t play it and had to delete it. The battery consumption was ridiculous. I started with 79% battery and within a 3 minute timeframe it dropped down to 60%. This is the ONLY game that does this. I’d like to know what the developers think about this, I googled why and read about the causes, and it’s not my phone, but I know I’m not the only person in the world with this problem. Please do not delete my review.

This is one of my favorite games. My rating reflects my personal preferences; so if you agree that The Room, DaVinci, and Monument Valley are excellent games, read on. The idea is to solve puzzles and eventually find the key to open the cage. It’s a simple idea with a variety of interesting puzzles that range from relaxing and relatively easy to more challenging. There is a consistent logic so the player can eventually find the solution without hints, walkthroughs, or guides; all it takes is focus and reasoning. The graphics are sharp, well designed, and add much to the pleasurable experience. There is a storyline and its interesting but not necessary. There are far more challenging games but I lose interest and get frustrated when the logic is too convoluted and it’s impossible to solve without using a lot of hints. This game is well worth the price.

I gave this game 5 stars, not because it’s so amazing compared to other games, but because I knew what to expect, and it delivered it well. The graphics are well-done, the ambience sort of enchanting, the mechanics work well, and the story is cute. The puzzles are interesting, but certainly not difficult. Still, they were fun to solve for a few minutes without the risk of brain-strain that I’ve encountered in some other ones. Of course I only played the first two free packs, since for $5 I could buy the entire “Room” game, but at least it made me feel kinda smart again as I “flew” through this bird game. A refreshing little diversion, I’d say.

First off, amazing game! I normally don’t spend money on app games, but this was completely worth it. It kept me entertained all throughout the storyline (with a few puzzles I found a little difficult, but it could be easy for someone else). The only issue I had was with the Gremlin Pack, specifically the last two puzzles (F5 and F6). Unfortunately, the face recognition software registers my face as always doing the puffed out cheeks (I am a heavier person, so I have some cheeks lol), so it always got stuck on one part of this certain puzzle. I’m not saying it’s the developers fault, but just a fair warning to people that have round cheeks that this may happen. I’m sad because I’m a perfectionist and those are the only two levels I have left to do. But oh well. Other than that, amazing game and well worth the $4.99

Downloaded the trial and the "package deal" says 40% off...listed for $0.99. I was eager to pay since that's a fair price for this short game. Maybe even $2 But it won't let you purchase it from the menu. It forces you to go to the App Store where it's $5.99. That's definitely not a fair price for 3 packs (5 levels each) which amounts to MAYBE 30 minutes of gameplay. Considering games like "The Room," "DaVinci" or "Rusty Lake"...which each are incredibly creative and have hours of creative gameplay and puzzles...for only $3-5 each. The game is good and creative. But it's basically linear gameplay and sliding pots around. And it's short. No challenge or logic required. So for me...it's just not worth $6 for 20-30mins of slides and tapping. I'll save my money for the next Room or Da Vinci game
