About the game

A row of birds sits on a branch above a runner, and the runner has one move: tap to turn around. The birds take their job very seriously.

It starts easy and does not stay easy. As the score climbs, more birds join the branch, the wind pushes the drops sideways and rain turns the grass into a slide. Most runs last seconds.

Every time the birds win, the moment is developed into an instant-print card: what got you, where it landed, how close you came. Cards come in five rarities, from N up to UR. Every SSR and UR is numbered by the game's server the moment it is drawn, worldwide and for good, and each of the deaths numbers its own: there will be a first Selfie UR, a first Pirate UR, a first of every one, each No.0001. The earlier you get one, the lower the number.

There are secret cards that come with no hints at all, and a new daily secret each day, the same for every player in the world. This website keeps a public hall of fame of every numbered UR and SSR.
