Does Bird Surfing need a fast connection?

Only to load. Adventure games can be a bit larger than arcade titles, so give the first load a moment. After that it runs locally in the tab.

Can I skip the dialogue?

Usually, by clicking or tapping through it. Be careful though, since dialogue often contains the clue you need for the next puzzle.

What is the difference between this and a puzzle game?

Adventure games wrap their puzzles in exploration and story. You move through places and talk to characters rather than solving a single board.

The guide

Overview

Bird Surfing is a 3D online game, where you’ll be flying with a bird over beautiful landscapes. Your only objective will be to fly through the rings and to get as far as possible. At the beginning, this might seem very simple, but it will get progressively harder and harder with each level, since your reaction time will have to get slower and slower. Also dodge trees and other obstacles that can take one life away. Try to get the best score you can and overcome your previous high score. You can pick new skins in the menu, so come on, let’s try the game out

What it's like to play

Nothing about an adventure game is in a hurry. You wander, you notice, you pick up a thing you do not yet understand. Later it makes sense. A session might be twenty minutes of exploring one area or an hour spent crossing several. The story, however light, gives the wandering a purpose, and the small puzzles give the story a rhythm.

How to play

1Check the controls on the start screen, then walk a slow lap of the first area, interacting with everything.
2Open doors, read notes and talk to characters. Clues are often hidden in plain sight in dialogue or signs.
3Collect items freely and try them on anything that looks blocked. Wrong combinations cost nothing.
4If you are stuck, look for a path or exit you have not taken yet. The game usually only blocks what you are not ready for.

Why it's worth a go

Bird Surfing is free, runs in a browser tab, and asks nothing of you but attention. The reward is a slow build of understanding that few other genres offer. There is no download and no account, and on the same device the game often picks up where you left it.
