Why have we become one of the most successful birding tour companies in the world? Here is a simple summary of the features that make us stand out: It’s not particularly deep but I didn’t expect to be so it did its job of providing a little bit of background whilst I stumbled my way through the various platforming puzzles.Tufted Puffin is a perennial favourite (image by Mark Beaman)īirdquest’s birding tours are celebrated as the very best available, and we have shown our clients and friends 10,550 bird species worldwide, more than any other tour company (and quite possibly more than the total for all other companies combined!), as well as an extraordinary variety of mammals and many other fascinating aspects of the natural world.īirdquest’s superb selection of bird watching tours not only features popular, well-known destinations, but also many less-visited, mostly tropical birding countries and regions, including frontier destinations where others rarely if ever tread.īirdquest’s tours range from highly targetted, specialist offerings through the entire range of regular birding tours to some quite relaxed bird watching tours and naturalist journeys that can be thoroughly enjoyable for less dedicated partners. That being said it’s not like these challenges waste a ton of time but it still feels like a kick in the pants every time you have to repeat the same section again.īirdGut’s story is lighthearted and tongue in cheek, with some sparse bits of dialogue providing some comic relief between the longer puzzle sections.

I’m not a huge fan of these “fuck you player” kinds of moments as it just punishes you for not knowing something that you had no way of figuring out. The later platforming sections consist of minutes long timed encounters that will take you at least a couple tries to get past as there’s no way of knowing what obstacles are coming up before you hit them for the first time. That of course means that the main increase in difficulty comes from the lengthening of time between checkpoints and the game exploiting that relentlessly.

Other than that there’s not much more to the game other than trial and error. The game’s simplicity negates many of the opportunities for emergent gameplay to occur so if you find yourself struggling against a particular challenge it’s quite likely that you’re approaching it the wrong way. You’ll start off slow, just needing to jump your way past a handful of obstacles, and will gradually move up to more complicated maneuvers, many of which will require semi-precise timing to pull off. The main game mechanics are puzzle platformer based with all the usual tropes making a showing in BirdGut’s short play time. It was this weird styling that first attracted me to the game as it’s rare enough for a game to be done this way and rarer still for it to be free. This is all then juxtaposed with ludicrousy that this is all supposedly taking place inside a bird’s digestive system, something you’re reminded about in the most weird and unusual ways. The animations are buttery smooth too, something you don’t see often with hand drawn games.

Each of the screens is its own little unique world, filled with all sorts of random detail. Honestly the amount of effort that went into putting these visuals together is quite phenomenal, even for a less than 2 hour game.

The bee takes it upon itself to destroy the massive bird from the inside out, and free all the enslaved critters within.īirdGut’s visuals are all hand drawn in a greyscale colour palette. Inside the bird, all of the bugs that it eats are brainwashed and put to work in fantastical, mechanical factories that exist in the place of its organs, except for the outcast bee, whose very disability prevents them from being brainwashed. That is, until a bird attacks and eats it. Born different from the others, the bee is exiled from the hive and forced to survive the world on its own.

A bee hatches in the hive, but something’s wrong.
