About Shadobirds
Shadobirds is a one-touch jump-and-avoid game. A bird makes its way through a world of black shadows, and each touch makes it jump, so getting through comes down to timing those jumps around the obstacles in its way. Waiting at the end is the nest, and other birds share the shadowy scenery along the route.
The game makes a running joke of its own difficulty, warning that you will never finish it, and the content backs the claim up. There are 20 levels, every one of them packed with obstacles, and just when a level seems done, more obstacles appear. Completing all 20 is the bragging right the game dangles in front of you, and the only tool you have to earn it is your timing.

How to play Shadobirds
Objective
Guide the bird through all 20 obstacle-filled levels by timing each jump, and reach the nest at the end of the route.
Controls
Mobile
- Touch the screen: make the bird jump
Getting started
- Turn your phone sideways, because Shadobirds plays in landscape on phones and on computers.
- Touch the screen to make the bird jump, and watch how high each jump carries it before the first obstacle.
- Time your jumps to slip between the obstacles, and keep an eye on the other birds around you.
- Expect fresh obstacles just as a level looks finished, and keep jumping until the nest is reached.
- Work through the 20 levels one at a time; each is full of obstacles, so retries are part of the plan.
Tips
- Do not relax near the end of a level. The game warns that more obstacles show up just when you think you are done.
- Since it is a one-touch game, timing is the only thing to perfect, so practice the rhythm of short and long gaps between touches.
- Treat each failed attempt as a lesson on one stretch; all 20 levels are built to be hard, and learning each layout pays off.
