Description:
Tiny Bird Garden is a “bird collecting game” where the player customizes a garden space for Tiny Birds to visit and enjoy.
Tiny Bird Garden Mobile is available for iOS and Android; it features the base gameplay and all 100+ available Tiny Bird characters!
Tiny Bird Garden Deluxe is an expanded version of the game with additional gameplay features, exclusive items, mini games, and widescreen display, for desktop (Windows/PC and Mac).
With 100+ Tiny Bird characters in the game, each with their own favorites and heart level, the player can opt to give their feathered visitors, hats, treats, and a variety of toys for play time. If a bird has enjoyed their stay at your garden, they will leave a gift (feathers, the game’s currency) once they’ve decided to leave. Keep track of their favorites in the Bird Journal, and if you become good friends with a bird, you may receive a special thank you, in return!
Tiny Bird Garden relies on elements from the simulation genre—birds will stop in and leave in real time, if the player is there or not, based on whether or not food and toys are available to them.
Players can also raise Baby Tiny Birds—our take on Virtual Pet style game play. Feed the baby different stars to change their colors—they’ll keep their baby colors when they grow up and join the main roster of Tiny Birds!
You can also meet some helpful human characters who provide tips, advice, casual conversation… and bird jokes, if you’re into that kind of thing!
Tiny Bird Garden Deluxe includes Story Mode—a twelve chapter, visual novel style story. Progress in the story is reliant on the player’s progress in the base game play. This also includes expanded NPC character profiles, heart levels, and Friendship Events.
Deluxe also includes Five Exclusive Mini Games—like our Tiny Bird Puzzle Game—and endless matching game!
We hope you decide to visit Tiny Bird Garden and make a friend or two!
History:
Super Retro Duck is an independent game developer—we’re only two people! Everything from the programming, artwork, music, everything, it’s all just the two of us, chasing after our dream of making games together.
Super Retro Duck was formally established in October of 2016, and Tiny Bird Garden is our debut title.
Tiny Bird Garden was a concept born from a love of games like Hit-Point’s Neko Atsume, Skillshot Labs’ Notice Me Senpai, and Nintendo’s Animal Crossing. The development team—illustrator/musician Daisy Ein and pixel artist/programmer Zap Layden—have a particular fondness for birds and bird watching.
Base Game (Tiny Bird Garden Mobile) Features:
- Over 100 different birds to meet—with more on the way in future updates.
- Birds stop in and leave in real time—the game keeps going when the application is idle. As long as there’s seed and a place to play, the birds will continue to visit and enjoy your garden in your absence.
- Visiting birds will leave a gift—feathers—when they leave the garden.
- Use feathers to buy new items, expand your garden, and pamper your guests.
- Looking to see new birds in a hurry? Use the whistle to bring in lots of birds right away.
- We’ve been continually updating the game since 2017—and we already have content updates planned for 2019! More birds are on the way!
- Human NPC characters with dialog options, trading options, and cheesy bird jokes—some inspiration from the visual novel genre.
- Take photos of your bird visitors—each bird has an album to fill up with cute Tiny Bird moments.
- Give your feathered friends hats and accessories. Can you figure out their favorites?
- Try to get as many Achievements as you can—you’ll receive exclusive, in-game rewards for it!
- Listen in on what the birds are saying—each bird has unique dialog.
- Raise Baby Birds! Virtual Pet style game play where the player can decide the bird’s adult appearance.
Tiny Bird Garden Deluxe Features:
- Expanded Gardens—view your entire garden and all the birds in it, at once! No need to save up for an expansion either, it comes included!
- Keep your Garden up on your Desktop! Birds will stop by and visit throughout your day, as long as you leave out toys and seed!
- Mix and Match Garden Borders! Each Garden comes with a hand drawn, decorative border to collect and customize your garden.
- Story Mode! Twelve Chapters of visual novel style story.
- Friendship Events! The human characters have an expanded role in Tiny Bird Garden Deluxe, including heart levels, favorites, and profiles.
- Endless Puzzle Game! No limited moves, no timers, just a relaxing, matching game for chilling out!
- Five Mini Games total! And we’ve got more planned for the future! Earn feathers, shiny feathers, and whistles from gameplay!
- No In App Purchases & No Ads—Tiny Bird Garden has different balancing than Tiny Bird Garden Mobile, as well as alternative ways to earn feathers.
- Free Content Updates!—that’s right, even more content coming in 2019!
