Starting to play


Move the bird with the arrow keys, and when you need more power, flap wings. Explore the environment interact with the maximum animals, plants and stones. Stones that are transparent to the nearest are underneath other and can be moved little, to make way.

A strong wind is in some parts of the game and it seems it is impossible to overtake it, however it is just an obstacle and often the output is strongly flapping its wings and seeks the diagonal path.

Interact with peaceful animals and beware of aggressive, they can attack and take points of life as well as hold the bird until it dies, having to return to the last savepoint.

Triangles and letters by setting

The red triangles complete energy, represented by a bar on the top screen. They are found in the air or when roots pulled from the earth, clinging to the Q button and flapping up. At first we did not use the power bar but a little more forward, predators arise and you need to escape from them or put them in ambushes.


Helping animals such as rabbits and chicks without the pair of birds out of the nest gain green triangles. Hundred green triangles equals a new life. Losing all lives generates a game over and you need to go back to the beginning.

The yellow triangles are wood chips, are all over the scene and collect all you need to gradually put them in each of the portals of the game. In most places are hidden runes. Join to translate the messages and uncover the secret of Raetikon.
