Bird Catcher
A downloadable game for Windows
You want the Bird Catcher job that we advertised? Hmm, you're not the type we usually get here ... Why are you wearing a cloak?? You clearly have a dark past ... But you really like birds? Well, okay we can try you out I suppose. But we're doing ecological research here, so just don't do anything .. weird .. to them, okay?
Welcome to Bird Catcher. A round in the game takes only a couple of minutes. You will need to outsmart birds and place nets at strategic locations to catch them. If you get too close, the birds will be scared away - but perhaps you can use this to your advantage?
Complete scenarios and missions to help the research be successful, bringing more funding and better equipment to the research lab. Succeed, and maybe you can become a fully-fledged ornithologist. But why is a cloak-wearing dark entity really applying for this job? Perhaps not all things are as they seem.
This game is in early development, and many features are still being implemented. Please enjoy the game for free, and leave a comment if you thought it was fun!
