"Black Bird is a unique little shooter that only gets better as you play it more and uncover its secrets. Its vintage-style art direction is charmingly melancholy, and its strange soundtrack only adds an extra layer of quirkiness to proceedings. It's very much a score challenge game, though, meaning players expecting a wealth of things to see and do may be left feeling underwhelmed by its meagre four stages - especially when you consider the rather high price tag. This is very much a case of quality over quantity, and as long as you're up for repeat playthroughs, you're in for a wonderfully bizarre treat."

About
Black is a puzzle game where you solve increasingly tricky challenges by turning the screen solid black. Each of its 50 levels presents a distinct set of rules and mechanics requiring you to think creatively about color interactions timing and spatial reasoning. The gameplay is straightforward but deceptively complex with solutions often hinging on subtle details. Bart Bonte’s signature minimalist design keeps the focus squarely on the puzzles using simple visuals and sound cues to guide progress. What stands out is how each level introduces a fresh concept without overwhelming the player. The difficulty curves smoothly balancing accessibility with mental hurdles that feel satisfying to overcome. With a runtime of about 30, 40 minutes it’s a concise but rewarding experience. Players praise the game’s clever use of touch controls and the way it reinvents its core mechanic across levels keeping things engaging without filler. Bart Bonte’s knack for tight thoughtful design shines here with a sequel that holds up well against its predecessors.
