Currently Playing: Casual Birder

What Is It? Adventure game where you take pictures of birds and try not to get beat up by more aggressive birders.

Playthrough Notes: I've decided that for actual games like this, I'll do some brief notes in a sort of playthrough kinda style. Or, at least I'll plan to do that until I get bored and want to stop.

-Game starts off with me getting moved into a new house by a man who may or may not have stared in 70's porno movies..
-Don't know who this guy is dropping me off, but his mustache is out of control.
-I already moved your stuff in, so youre all set. Wow. A+ moving company right here. Would recommend to any friends you have moving into the Casual Birder universe.
-Youre a pretty brave kid, movin to a town like this. Aw fuck I moved to Cleveland, didnt I?
-Do you even know anything about bird photography??? No, Im more of an expert in bird law. But I can learn!
-Oh my phone has a camera in it. So this is modern times I suppose.
-Haha the moving guy tells me to take a picture of the bobi nearby and I explore and try to go inside instead and he YELLS AT ME TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT BOBI. That has to be the first time someone has every yelled that phrase, ever.
-Snapped my first bird pick! You focus with the crank to make sure you get some of that Playdate functionality thrown in there.
-This is a black-bodied bobi. They hang around and fly into peoples houses, is what the description said. Damn, birds in Bird Town are aggressive.
-I show the guy my bobi pic. This is how Tinder works, I think.
-He gets a call right afterwards though. Hes part of Modos Go Co, and their motto is Where were pretty good at moving because lifting stuff isnt that hard for us on account of our muscles! Gotta rework that catchphrase, man. Never going to fit that on a park bench.
-This person has to move IMMEDIATELY because they have a bad roommate that never installed their air conditioner. I think this guy mightve gotten roommate confused with landlord but, sure.
-Modo has to bounce, but he tells me the move is free. Modo, this is just bad business practice, man. I worry about you.
-Apparently as a trade off, I need to give this girl he likes a package. Theres a whole subcategory on Pornhub for this, I think.
-Watch out for Bad Birders. What does THAT mean?
-I go explore a bit and find a bird in the direction opposite of where Im supposed to go. Does this make me a bad birder? How do I join the bad birder club? Do they have matching jackets? I have so many questions.
-This bird is the truck feathered gronkie. Honk, honk! Here comes the Gronk! is what the description said which I also think is what Rob Gronkowski used to say whenever he caught the football.
-I should probably KonMari these books. Uh. Is that a phrase Im supposed to be familiar with.
-Ok google says it is a cleaning method. This must be why Im not familiar with it, on account of me being a no good dirty slob.
-My milk is past the expiration datebut I just moved in??? Probably shouldnt have packed up your expired milk then, friend.
-I inspect my bed and find out I have a stuffed from named P.P. McFrog. What does the P.P. stand for? Pee pee.
-Next screen a snap a shot of the junkbird, which is apparently a gross type of garbage bird if the description is to be believed. Poor Oscar the Grouch bird. I still love you.
-Youre disgusting, bird! Wow, didnt know there would be bird shaming in this game. Poor, poor junkbird.
-I get some worms from the shop although I have no clue how to use them.
-Oh wait! I can cycle through what my action button is with the crank. Oh ok cool. So this is going to be a quirky little adventure game. Im down for that!
-Shop owner says shes so tired and someone usually brings her coffee. I make a note because this will be a puzzle later, Im sure.
-Youre not ready to hear what I have to say to you, dweeb. Im not ready for such hurtful language WAAAAAAAAH ITS TRUE
-I apparently cant talk to her until I have more life experience, which Im assuming means more than three pictures of birds. Bird Town is rough on new birders.
-The bartender wont talk to me because I look too young, which is funny because Im pretty sure this sprite is a 12 year old.
-Also birder reveals he is old. 35. Haha. Yeah, who would ever be that old, am I right? Guys?
-There is a trenchcoat weirdo behind the bar who offers to trade shoes with me. Mine squeak when they walk and he says his new ones dont. I dunno man my momma always told me not to switch shoes with perverts lurking in the shadows.
-Oh you know what, actually maybe I need these. Maybe my squeaky shoes will make it hard to sneak up on birds.
-Ok pervert! Give me your shoes. I guess Ill just be happy he didnt show me his dong at any point during our two conversations.
-I go to the next screen and three bullies show up and taunt me for being a casual birder!
-OH GOD ITS THE BAD BIRDERS I WAS WARNED ABOUT. PLEASE DONT MAKE FUN OF MY PITIFUL 3 BIRD PHOTO COLLECTION!
-I bet you take pictures with your phone, Scrubjay. Hurtful. And accurate. So double hurtful.
-Holy shit she straight up punches me out. Wow. Bad birders are no joke, guys.

Ok, that's it for now! So far, I'm interested. This at least has the appearance of a full, actual game which is nice. It lasted longer than 15 minutes so it already puts it in the running for best Playdate game thus far.
