Bird and Beans for Playdate
About
In Bird and Beans, you play as a small bird named Pyoro trying to eat seeds from the sky before they destroy the platform you are standing on. This is a faithful port/remake of the original game, which was a launch title for the Nintendo DSi, originally released outside of Japan in 2009. The DSiWare original itself is also a port of the mini-game "Pyoro" from the first WarioWare title on the Gameboy Advance.
I do not own the original music or gameplay, as those are all copyrighted by Nintendo. I developed this remake purely for fun to learn the Playdate SDK, and am not asking for any money. Instead, you can buy the original game on the 3DS eShop for $1.99 until the shop shuts down in March 2023. If there's enough interest, I may develop a spiritual successor to the game that avoids the use of copyrighted assets.
