Screenshot of the best deckbuilder to ever grace this planet. 

In this demo, you can experience the core loop of the game. First, you can expect a tutorial. Then you can play with two different characters for the first half of the regular game, along with the โ€œDaily Flightโ€: a brand new challenge every single day with a global leaderboard. Hours of playtime await you, and we hope you enjoy every single minute!

Sparrow Warfare is a synergy-rich deckbuilder where you make wild combinations of tiles to free birds and battle against the fiendish Storyteller and his minions.

In addition, daily flight mode offers endless replayability with different challenging modifiers and global leaderboards.

Features:
๐ŸƒDeckbuilding: 150+ wildtiles to discover and infinite game-breaking combos to find
โ™พ๏ธ Endless Replayability: progressive difficulty, daily flights & challenging modifiers
๐Ÿ”ฅ Multiple Playstyles: suit your personal taste, whether you prefer aggression or cunning
๐Ÿฆโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Big Bird Action: 100+ birds to free, each one featuring real bird sounds
๐Ÿคบ Meta-Strategy: experiment with synergies & build new approaches run after run

The full game of Sparrow Warfare will include all four different Ways (Fire, Song, Water, and Ghost), the full progression mode up to Level 12 for all four Ways, and Steam achievements. We plan to have full localisation for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, and Russian in the full game.

Sparrow Warfare is developed by just two veteran game developers (Martin Pichlmair & Charlene Putney) who share all of the work between them, but it wouldnโ€™t be as good without the amazing assistance of our loyal playtesters: we love you guys!

We truly hope you enjoy our demo. Please wishlist and follow Sparrow Warfare to keep informed about development and help us get the word out there.

Fly free little sparrows!

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

The fact that Black folks with tourettes are getting torn apart from both communities for not being sufficiently punitive enough is actually proof that we're not fucking having a productive discussion and that we refuse to see who the real villains are: the BBC, the BAFTAS, and structural bigotry

Was on camera for a work call and took a sip from my water bottle, confusing the muslims and non-muslims alike. With that, I want to remind folks there are lots of exemptions from fasting! Please do not mind when your visibly muslim pal eats/drinks during this blessed month ๐Ÿ˜…

Anyone who paid attention knew that there was no doubt about the official number from the GHM being an undercount due to its historically conservative approach and due to inability to keep pace with the actual death rate. IDF now admits, like it did in 2021 and 2014, that it has an accurate record.

Am glad someone said this cause honestly I've had a hard time (for multiple reasons) processing the news. The world is run by people who have shed all humanity and become monstrous on a level I can't even comprehend. It has been known. It is known. They all know we know. And ... Nothing

Front & rear photos of the new Piccadilly line trains which were being tested a few weekends ago.

I love the futuristic look of the trains but definitely wish the rear red lights were similar to the front LEDS.

Taken at Turnham Green and Hammersmith London Underground stations.

Neo Cabโ€™s build needs serious retooling, and the right person could quite literally save our game from disappearing from iOS forever. DM if interested, and plz RT! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿš™๐Ÿ’œ

Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, itโ€™s in Apple News, too.)

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I was on a flight home from Minneapolis a year ago today. I've been messaging my cousin and she has the same disposition as me, as most of my family: "we're getting by", "It's hectic, but we're okay", "InshaAllah things will get better".
I text, then I wait. I get on with my day and choose hope.
