About

Sparrows on Clotheslines

Features
Read full description

Sparrows on Clotheslines is a cozy, one-finger physics hopper. You're a little brown sparrow making its way across a sun-warmed storybook city — hopping along sagging clotheslines, gliding between terracotta rooftops, and snacking to keep your wings going. It's all one finger: • On a line or a roof — stand still to rest, hold to walk, tap to jump. • In the air — hold to fly up and forward, release to glide. Flying is fast but drains your energy. • Walk off the edge of a clothesline and you flow straight into flight — no extra buttons. Energy is the whole game. Flying across a gap is quick but costly; walking the line is slow but free. The only way to refuel is to EAT — snap up crumbs and seeds strung along the lines to top up your energy bar. Run out of energy in mid-air and you'll tumble, so plan your hops and keep your beak fed. Drift across a multi-level network of clotheslines strung between buildings, each line swaying and bending under your weight. Keep an eye out for trouble: cats lounging on the rooftops, magpies cutting across the gaps, and flowerpots tipped from glowing windows. • Cozy storybook art — soft blue skies, drifting clouds, pastel laundry and warm rooftops • Simple, gentle one-finger controls anyone can pick up • Endless, relaxing runs — perfect for 2 to 10 minutes • Instant restart, never punishing • A journey through changing cities and seasons No accounts, no nonsense — just a calm little flight from rooftop to rooftop. How far can your sparrow glide?
