Square Bird is a new game for the iOS and Android platforms where you play as, literally, a square bird. You tap on the screen to lay eggs, which are also square, and your goal is to get high enough, or low enough, to make it past the next obstacle.
You have a nearly endless amount of levels to make it through, plus a number of bird skins that you can unlock in order to customize your character and the game.

The gameplay premise is simple. All that you have to do is tap on the screen in order to make eggs fall out of your bird. The eggs will get left behind when you pass an obstacle, but that’s the name of the game, and only the bird has to survive.
Each stage has its own obstacles that you need to pass, and as you get further in, a lot of it requires memorization. Luckily, the stages have the same layout every time you play them, so if you fail the first time, just remember what height you need to be at the next time that you play the level.
Use that height memory to make it through the stage by laying exactly the amount of eggs that you need. If the obstacle is high, make yourself high. If the obstacle is low, lay less eggs, or no eggs at all when applicable, and drop down to a lower level.
Every five levels, you will unlock a new bird. When you do, choose that bird, and both your bird and your eggs will change colors and styles. No need to worry about the gameplay, though; that will remain the same. Only the look of the game will change.
Starting at level 10, new landscapes will become available. These change both the look of the game and they give you a new set of levels that you can work through.
