Review:

Avenger Bird is a Platformer Where players control a bird jumping and gliding around levels trying to collect all of that level’s coins before reaching the exit.

The presentation here has some decent pixel art visuals with some nice detail and a good “light filtering” effect coming from the backgrounds. The characters are cartoony and simple, but overall this game looks decent. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the annoying, repetitive soundtrack.

As for the gameplay, this is mostly pretty standard Platformer fare, though I will note that the character’s abilities here are frustratingly limited and at times inconsistent – the double jump, for example, requires pretty precise timing to get a decent amount of height, and the glide function has a meter that quickly ticks down and drops you like a rock. For a bird, the character you control in this game is pretty terrible at flying or even jumping. Yet despite these limitations, the gameplay is very unforgiving, forcing you to restart a level any time you die. The result is a game that’s usually more frustrating than fun.

Ultimately, Avenger Bird is a game that doesn’t do anything extraordinary for the Platformer genre, aside from a better-than-average presentation. However, the positives are outweighed by the negatives of poor, limited controls and frustrating game design. It’s not the worst Platformer out there, but you can do far better.

tl;dr – Avenger Bird is a Platformer where you control a bird that can’t fly and can barely jump well, with limited controls and frustrating game design. It’s not horrible, but it’s definitely not very good either.
