Black Bird

Black Bird is an action shooting game about a girl who dies on a street corner and is reborn as the ominous Black Bird, one of the great calamities spoken of in the kingdom since ancient times. You become the bird and attack the kingdom in bullet-hell combat.

The kingdom and its story

The game presents a darkly humorous, picture-book world made pixel by pixel, with visuals that recall a classic era of gaming. Completing each stage reveals more about the mysteries behind its dark fairytale-like exterior. The story has eight different endings, and your performance affects how it concludes: a high score is required to reach the real ending and unlock the story’s secrets.

Combat and soundtrack

Enemy movement synchronizes with an operatic soundtrack sung in a fictional language. You can learn the combo and bomb systems, then combine them with hidden characters to shape your play style.

Modes and unlocks

After completing the game, you unlock True Mode, which adds new enemies, hidden bonus characters and more. Score Attack challenges you to pursue a place on the leaderboards.
