The rules are simple: Pop all the balloons to gain birds. Collect as many birds as you can to pop the bosses and pass the level. Enjoy the fascinating and powerful swirling of hundreds of birds at your fingertips! This game was designed to reproduce the dynamics of real bird swarms. The formations you achieve by swiping around resemble the starling murmurations you can see in the sky. This magic borrowed from nature is what makes Bird Show so relaxing to play.
