Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

A unique experience in a very endearing world. The drawing and the colours are so beautiful and original! I also enjoyed the music a lot. Thank you for the Belgian humour <3 The indie game's short format and its cosy side are so comforting, but bugs and a lack of clear guidelines during the mini-games sometimes undermine the gameplay. It was still very dynamic and fun! Playing again will probably be just as pleasant. My (longer) review in french: https://karoo.me/articles/30-birds/
well i think i really love it. such a beautiful graphics and a unique setting. the game might be extremely buggy though, e g i got stuck multiple times in different places; was unable to move the character at all; the point of view got locked on one place once no matter where i run. also i dont get it why people are hating on the tile game, seemed pretty easy to follow in my opinion, i liked it! it was a great playthrough overall
jeu incroyable, super ambiance, des graphismes splendides
nicely done. if you have prejudices against north african culture, the game will help to soften it a bit. looks like a novel about a Bird King, only here is a queen
Very beauitful game, nice little story, worth the time
This game felt like a cosy experience to me. Light a candle, get a cosy warm cup of coffee on my desk and play for a few hours a day. Story is pretty straightforward, but I will keep it spoiler free around here. The gameplay loop is very straightforward too. You can explore this vast lantern world as much as you want, there's a lot of tiny details in a lot of places, but in its core the game is linear with a quest book to help you look for the way forward. There's some, I would call collectibles, although in the end I didn't find a purpose for any of those, besides betting them on the tile game. Overall the game shines in the nongameplay elements. While the gameplay feels like a collectathon of 30 birds, literally, the nongameplay elements - narrative, music and art direction - really shine bright as there were so many times I was just enjoying the art and music produced from the background or even just the super funny humour introduced in the game. Definitely would recommend if you're looking to play a bit size lightweight experience!
Najpiękniejszy prezent jaki mogłam dostać. Cała gra jest pod względem graficznym jest po prostu wspaniała. Świetna i wciągająca fabuła zapewniła mi świetną zabawę na godziny. Można tu zrobić naprawdę wiele rzeczy, m.in. grać w salonach w tutejszą grę. Każdy z napotkanych ptaków ma swój indywidualny styl i z częścią z nich można się fajnie bawić. Tytuł definitywnie wart polecenia!
