Release Date: October 18, 2018
A shoot'em up, in which we play as a girl transformed into a black bird. As we play Black Bird, we explore a gloomy land and eliminate hordes of enemies using bombs or bubble-like projectiles.
Black Bird is a shoot'em up developed by Onion Games - a team whose portfolio includes such titles as Million Onion Hotel and Dandy Dungeon. The game, supervised by Yoshiro Kimura (producer and director of Little King's Story), is coming to the PC and Switch.
In Black Bird we observe the action from the side. During the game we play as a girl transformed into a black bird. Running to the right, the protagonist crosses a gloomy land and eliminates hordes of enemies by firing bubble-like missiles or dropping bombs. You'll need skill and reflexes - enemies often attack from all sides, and have varying resistance to damage.
Black Bird's two-dimensional graphics feature a pixelart style and a bit depressing colors, contrasting with a dynamic soundtrack that encourages you to play.

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Mikhail Madnani
Black Bird is one of the most interesting games I've played in a long time with loads of surprises all over the place.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by James Cunningham
Black Bird is a wonderful, sad, strange, funny, cute and bizarre shooter that can't quite make its gameplay match the quality of everything else.
Niche Gamer: 9 / 10 by Brandon Orselli
Black Bird is an excellent shoot ’em up and a landmark release for Onion Games. As this is their first release on proper gaming platforms, it makes sense they went all out and produced an exceptional game within a shiny package. It really is a fun time, and can get legit challenging.
