About

Murmur

Features
Read full description

A flock. A finger. A fading sky. Murmur is a meditative arcade game about leading a flock of birds through a slowly darkening sunset. Drag your finger across the screen and the flock follows — soft, weightless, alive. Snack on glowing bugs to grow, chase blue stars for a sudden boost of wings, and read the wind to slip past obstacles before the dusk closes in. It's calm at first. Then the spires get taller, the hawks get hungrier, and the sky keeps turning. There are no levels and no menus to fight. Each run is a single, unbroken murmuration: as long as your flock holds, you keep flying. Lose every bird and the sky fades to black. FEATURES • One-touch flocking — drag anywhere to steer your birds • Eat bugs to grow your flock, one feather at a time • Blue stars instantly summon +10 birds • Hawks hunt your stragglers — keep the flock tight • Trees, cliffs, spires, and rocks scroll endlessly past • Boundary kills, sky phases, super bugs, and a difficulty curve that tightens as you go • A handcrafted sunset that bleeds from amber to violet to deep night • Best distance saved locally — chase your own ghost • Soft ambient music and tactile sound design • No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No tracking. • Plays fully offline — no internet required • Built for one-handed portrait play HOW TO PLAY Touch the screen and drag — your flock will glide toward your finger. Steer them through the gaps. Sweep low to grab bugs and grow. Snatch a blue star whenever you can. Stay clear of the hawks; they pick off birds that lag behind. The longer you fly, the faster the world scrolls and the more it asks of you. Stay loose, stay loud, stay together. Can you make the murmur last until nightfall? Murmur — a small, soft, beautiful arcade game from Peladu.
