ABOUT THE GAME
Build a nest with branches,
Search for abilities and gems.
"Birdsong" is a platform action game where you control birds to navigate a connected world. Collecting branches to build a nest provides a restart point after death, and five ability enhancements increase jump height and add new actions. Seven jewels are also placed in the world.

Connects to one screen.
On the official play screen, nearby stone scaffolding is large, and distant terrain and grave markers are compressed to fit on the same horizontal screen. This is a perspective representation that places your current location and what's beyond it as a continuous line, and changes the scale depending on the distance.

Show the whole world on one screen
As the official description states, the entire world will fit on one screen, with areas near the main character being larger and distant terrain being compressed to the edges of the screen.
Make the nest a checkpoint
You can build one nest for each branch you collect. When it dies, it restarts from the last nest it visited.
Abilities and collectibles expand the path
The official page introduces five enhancements, including ones that increase jump height and ones that add special abilities, and seven jewels from around the world.
Looking around the world,
The first flap of your wings.
