Community Insight:
Interesting and you actually have to use your brain for this. Its so cool.
Please put this on VR Meta it would be fantastic please think about it.
The birdcage is good, but when you finish all of the things it doesnt give you anymore. That is one thing that we dont like. We have to do everything that Ive already completed over and over again and Im not very happy about that. Sometimes we go to the birdcage so we can relax but then when we finish everything and we go to the next one when we finish all of them, there are no more and so we dont know what to do. We always just do them over and over again. Its not the best but we like the birdcage other than that its really good. Its calming. Its challenging, but it really gives us something to set our mind to thank you.
Love this game just wish we could restart it so we can get the whole feel of winning again.
Its sooo so relaxing 100 present! It challenges our brain and the birds are so pretty.
We Love this game, our dad got this game for us and it was our first game and we loved it.
We love Birdcage it's so calming and fun.
This is a fun and beautiful game. It is not too challenging, but it still is fun and satisfying to figure out what you need to do next. Well worth the price of the full version.
We really enjoy games that are like this, fun, thought provoking games that challenge your mind and your observation skills. The entire series is really cool, also! Great job Developers! One suggestion, maybe in one of the games or in the App Store, offer a bundle for all three games+ no ads! That would be incredibly awesome.
We like this game alot it could be better with more levels and stages like that but man. We used to played this when we were 8 years old big nostalgia.
Ive always loved puzzle games, but this one just hits different. Its amazing how real it looks. And the puzzles are all so unique. Its amazing.
This is a nicely illustrated, animated and designed game that we would recommend to all beginners of the escape game genre. It teaches you some common mechanics and puzzles used in other such games. Although there is a bit of progression in difficulty, the puzzles are not difficult compared to what you will find in more advanced games, so its a fun and relaxing experience. Only the first two levels are free, and additional ones are a dollar or more each (one reason we dropped it down one star). But we see there are at least three separate Birdcage games available, so you can get a good number of free puzzles to work on, though the difficulty level does seem to plateau pretty early. You can also set the game to Augmented Reality (AR) mode, but the normal setting is perfectly fine. The only criticisms we have are that the backstory and what seems to be a side story are irrelevant to playing, and the drawings in the side story envelopes are quite awful (strange given how nicely the game itself is rendered).
The graphics are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed this game and have finished all the achievements, except the last one. It says to finish the cage in AR mode. What is AR Mode.
It could be better Try adding a part where you can collect the birds and play with them As well as feed them and make there home.
Compared to other games its not enough levels and its too easy unfortunately.
It is pretty but sometimes the wand and other tasks have to be redone to register completion. We've had to restart a couple levels just to get one step in the level to take. Otherwise pretty good.
This first one has been easy, hoping that The Birdcage 2 & 3 are a bit more challenging. Just our opinion, we are a puzzle lover.
If youre into puzzle games, and you like a challenge, expect to be bored.
This is an excellent and enjoyable game. However, you can only play the first two games or levels, and then you have to pay. We don't like that.
Please make the other challenges a little less expensive for a kid. But otherwise the app is amazing.
This game is not only clear and satisfying to play it also the graphics are crisp and clear. One of our very favorites.
This Gan us is vary we BNSF resting to us but it might not be to you we think that maybe you should try this game.
Gameplay is very similar to The Room and House of da Vinci but with a brighter aesthetic: naturalistic, intuitive controls, pretty visuals, and soothing music. However, the puzzles are much easier (only the final few levels approach the challenge of those two series) and it takes a small fraction of the time. Quick and fun, absolutely ideal for younger players who want to do puzzle games but maybe found those other titles too challenging. We will play the sequel for sure.
We love the game but we just think that more of the levels should be free.
The game is fun and all but some levels dont work. When we turn the key it doesnt unlock. The game is quite easy but its still fun to play. Id say its for 6-9 year olds. Thats all.
We love escape games but we have something to say about this one if you have ads dont make us pay for the rest make us watch an ad after every level and let us play the entire game you still get the same amount of money and it makes it more enjoyable instead of cutting it off halfway.
Really easy and kind of boring. If you like easy puzzle games this is for you.
Game is fun to play; a bit easy. Only a few free plays. Did free play in less than 40 minutes.
Thank you for all the things in this game.
We love the puzzle of the game and also how there are notes during the puzzles that makes an interesting story, we just wish there was more free puzzles we would play more if we could.
We love this game and its sequel. We've purchased the expansion packs for both, but we would like to reset the game and clear all our progress so we can start over and try to get all the gems. We don't see a way to do that; is this possible.
Please make a third game and fuse 1 and 2 please and thank you :).
This game is as beautiful as it is challenging, but not too difficult as to be frustrating. We showed it to our wife who loves birds, and we immediately bought the all-levels pack. We felt terrible when we had to ask for a hint on one! Easily a must-have for the sheer brilliance of letting a golden eagle out of its cage – great game.
Hey! Really love the game but Im trying to figure it out how to get more storys. We were wondering if you put them free and make them super cool like on The BirdCage 2. Make it just like this game. Thanks! – Jillian.
Its a great game the levels are kind of easy but over all its really fun our only suggestion would be to have more of the packs open because since the levels are easy to play there should be more packs open. But over all again its a great game to play.
We purchased the birdcage and birdcage 2 games and breezed right through them over a couple of weeks. We thought that they were fascinating and the graphics were truly a pleasure to see! We would recommend going through both games because theyre not only are these puzzle games fun to solve, but they are relaxing and instantly rewarding. You find yourself completing these puzzles with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. We hope the developers make more games like these in the the future.
This game looks so fun! Even thought we have not been playing this game for so long. Keep it up.
Animation is awesome. Puzzles get you thinking. You can get hints through watching ads that are not overbearing. Two teaser free packs to start you off with. You have to pay to play the other packs, though it is affordable.
Make them harder bc Im tooooo smart make a smart button only for smart people.
For a person that has so much going on we our life we find this game very relaxing to our mind.
Its so fun and theres two birds scenes that are free we see you you put complete all those once you complete all those its $4.99 for all the rest if you just want to buy oneSeparate its only $1.99 but our mom Buys it it $4.99 and we love it its super funny guys should really buy it and you have a really great time for any age literally our mom she plays it and we are and we still play and we love it and theres even a master level on it but what do you do there is another one and its free look into buying that its super super fun bye.
Its a good quality game filled with riddles. It has little stories, that we enjoy reading. Its better to buy the all pack with no ads, because you have more fun puzzles to solve. Go check out there second game, birdcage 2. We really enjoy both games and we think that they should make a third one.
We love this game. We played the free version, and the ads they had were not too intrusive and spaced evenly through the gameplay. The game is beautiful, the puzzles were fun and aesthetic as well. We dont normally like to buy these kinds of games, but we bought this game because it was so charming. The story was not the most creative, but we didnt care because everything else in this game more than made up for it. We were excited to see they made a sequel.
Im a huge fan of The Room games, so whenever we see something similar we like to try it. We enjoyed The Birdcage, but found it a bit simple. Given that the game is intended for an audience of ages 4+, thats understandable. However, that also limits replay-ability in our mind. Those issues aside, we thought the game was a good value at $4.99 US price point for the expansion bundle. We would very much recommend this game fans of good puzzle games.
We wish you would offer more free.
Paid the no ad upgrade and then the levels dropped off after the dove level, Was disappointed in that. Felt like for $5.00 upgrade the levels should continued further. Such as ongoing past the ones shown. We liked the design and loved the puzzle aspect of the game. But we agree with other reviewers that think as the levels went on the puzzles shouldve gotten more difficult as well but not just end and then start another The Birdcage 2 thats going to do the same thing. Not paying for the levels past the crow level(Free) in Birdcage 2 because for $6.00 to have it end after the 4th bird level is not worth the money. If it was ongoing and didnt also involve spiritism then we might consider it but Birdcage 2 went to a dark side and am not impressed. Loved, Loved, Loved The Birdcage and would play it if more levels were added to it, but will not move ahead with The Birdcage 2 past the free levels. Dont like the direction the story went or the fact that its more $$ to come to and end as well! Do better developers.
Nice art work but it would only be challenging for yahoos. A great program for young children.
Great graphics and fun puzzles. But you only get 10 free puzzle attempts, then you must pay to unlock additional puzzles. We uninstalled quickly because unless we pay Ive gone as far as we can in this game. Its a shame, it was fun. The developers dont understand that not all of us on fixed incomes can easily pay.
Why do you have to pay for the next level its stupid let every level be if you dont Ill stop playing!!! People who read this please agree on it than having to to waste there money on it.
Both Bird Cage and Bird Cage 2 are fun and stress free. We enjoyed the cleverness of the puzzles. It even has a few challenging sections. The story line is ok.
