About this game

Swoop to collect. But some swoops bite back.

Swooping Birds is a side-scrolling vertical flyer where your bird climbs from the treetops to outer space — and everything you grab weighs you down. Feast, fight, and shed your load to stay airborne. One wrong dive and you're on the ground.

WEIGHT IS THE WHOLE GAME
This isn't a flat power-up meter. Every collectible has real weight. Load up on gear and food and your bird gets sluggish, sinks, and finally can't hold altitude at all. Lean flies high; heavy flies low. Choose what's worth carrying — and what to drop.

FEAST, THEN BURN IT OFF
Food heals you… at first. Keep eating and your bird gets fatter, bloated, and harder to fly. But flying and fighting burn it back off — a natural feast-and-slim loop where your bird's body IS the status bar. No clutter, just a bird visibly getting stronger, rounder, and leaner as you play.

THREE WAYS TO FLY
• RISE — hold to climb, if your load lets you
• GLIDE — release for a gentle drift onto pickups
• DIVE — commit to a plunge… but a heavy bird can't always pull up in time

GEAR UP AND FIGHT BACK
Collect armour, weapons and speed and your bird morphs to show it — helmets, blades and more layer right onto its body. Fight-back is automatic on contact, so telegraphed threats become split-second reads: dodge, tank the hit, or crash through it.

DROP IT TO SURVIVE
Overloaded and sinking toward the crash floor? Drop an item for instant lift — or hit the panic button and jettison everything at once. You'll survive stripped of your gear, and whatever you dropped just might land on the spider below.

GROUND TO SPACE
Climb through undulating terrain, up past the clouds, and into the stars. Salvage waits at every altitude — satellites and boosters up high, and the higher you dare to fly, the better the haul. Meteors and orbital junk are up there too, and nothing you carry will defeat them.

PICK YOUR FLYER
Eight hand-drawn birds, each with its own look, ready to take to the skies.

FLY YOUR WAY
Endless mode for the longest flight you can manage, or timed runs against a target. Best times are kept for both.

FREE, AND FREE OF ADS
No ads. No timers. No currency. Nothing to buy. The whole game, from the moment you install it.
