Brilliant and challenging!

Devilishly hard, but levels are solvable by using some logic and deduction, and don’t require endless random trial and error like some challenging puzzlers. The low ratings are doubtless due to the difficulty of the puzzles, rather than some knock on the quality of the app, which is overall excellent. I don’t understand the complaints about not knowing the price for the full game. It’s listed under the IAP info and also prior to confirming purchase. My only complaint is that my progress isn’t synced across devices so I’m effectively limited to playing on only one device.
Exquisite puzzle game!

As other reviews have said, Snakebird combines adorable design with rigorous puzzle playthrough. Learn by doing, and do methodically, and you can figure any level out. For texasbuckeye, who thought the intro packet didn't give levels 8 and 9--it absolutely does, if you solve level 7. The levels unlock by geographic proximity on the map, not in numerical order. (I was stuck on 7 for a long time myself.) This expanding unlocking means you always have a choice of several unlocked puzzles to work on instead of being stuck on a single blocker.
Do something else

Just do something else with your time. Slowly sliding a snake thing around. So painful..... not how I wanna spend my 5 min in line.
Great game but should update

This is a great game but I am using an IPhone X and this does not fill the screen if this did it would make the gameplay truly immersive
This is 100% a 5-star app—ignore the downers

No ads, all levels present, awesome preview and worth the money. I’ve never seen such a clearly 5 star game with such a low average rating. Ignore the low ratings. I’ll explain. First—there are no ads, even if you don’t pay money for in app purchases. That right there puts this puzzle game in a super minority. For free, you get a nice preview of the game with no ads and about ten levels. I say “about” because I bought it before playing all available free levels, since I was so impressed with the quality and difficulty of the puzzles. Yes, the tutorial is somewhat lacking. But it doesn’t matter the tiniest bit. For one, this is not a timed game, and for two, ALL levels, even in the free version, have UNLIMITED undo. Even when you “die” by hitting the spikes, the level does not reset—it just resets to the position immediately before you hit the spikes. This puts the focus where it should be, on solving the puzzles, not on trying to avoid making dumb mistakes. Mistakes don’t matter because it is so easy to back up. This game mechanic (unlimited undo and no forced resets) is extremely rare because most games would be trivial if they had it. Not this one. The puzzles are TRICKY and gameplay is top notch. As for levels being “missing”—no, they’re not. The thing is that each time you solve a level, a few other levels unlock, not just the next levels numerically. Beat level 12 and levels 20, 41 and 22 show up—you get the idea. The level selector is a cute animated map of an island, and the sequence of levels meanders around the island. I would suggest to the developers that they change the unlock order for the free levels since some people get confused and think some levels are missing, but since the levels are in fact all there I don’t really care. The full version was $3.99, which is a bit more than I usually like to pay for a puzzle, but still worth it. It showed me the price before I paid, but that might be because I have my App Store account set to always require password for purchases. The only comparable games in terms of respect for the user, puzzle trickiness, and delightfulness of UI, are Go To Gold and Go To Gold 2. Well, actually Hook, Transmission, and also every puzzle from Pyrosphere, are all FREE and ad-free delightful minimalist puzzles with beautiful UIs. You’re welcome. :)
Tricky Puzzler

Snake Bird takes advantage of a silly concept to create intuitive but tricky puzzles. Keep in mind that this is only a demo and the full game is at a fair price of four dollars.
AMAZING GAME!

I downloaded this game yesterday, not thinking much about it, i read some reviews and realized that everyone was complaining because the game doesn’t provide a lot of clues... it’s a STRATEGY/PUZZLE game! It’s not supposed to give you the answers or hints on how to pass a level! The point of this game is to CHALLENGE you brain and see if you are able to figure out how to pass to the next level and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I stayed stuck on level... ahem... 7 for two days hahaha I just barely passed it right now. If you want a game that will be EASY and WONT even CHALLENGE YOU to think outside the box then THIS GAME ISNT FOR YOU... I give props to the creators of the game and the masterminds behind it as well. I know have a game WORTHY of KEEPING and I just got paid today so I’m looking forward for those 45 LEVELS! ❤️
Great game
Scooootttttttt
Some of these reviews are really misleading. The puzzles in this game are designed very well, but they can be quite hard. People saying they’re “impossible” don’t know how to think outside the box. Well worth the $4 IAP to get the full game. I’m almost done and I’ve enjoyed every level.
