About the game
Building a powerful deck is only the beginning. Combine bugs with trinkets, use your bird's abilities to steer the swarm, and trigger powerful chain reactions. Every match is a chance to experiment, adapt, and embrace the chaos.
Beyond its ever-changing cards, SuperBird features birds with distinct playstyles, arenas with unique challenges, and a growing camp where players can hatch eggs and unlock new possibilities. Players can also taunt opponents for bigger rewards and watch defeated rivals return as cheering fans.
Key features
- A deck that won't sit still: Build your own bug cage and make every bug count. Each turn, they may crawl to new positions, devour one another, or even fly back to the cage. But chaos can be an opportunity. Use your bird’s abilities to steer the swarm, turn disorder into setup, and chain it all into a winning combo.
- Yes, you're a bird: The contenders stepping into the arena are actual birds. Choose from a bumbling duck, an aloof crow, or an adorable long-tailed tit, each with their own abilities and signature skills. Pair them with all kinds of trinkets to uncover powerful synergies, pull off ridiculous combos, and send your score soaring.
- From the skies to the abyss: Your road to the crown spans four arenas, each with its own rules. Take on fellow birds high above the clouds in the Sky Arena, where there’s no such thing as a fixed schedule. Enter the Old God Cup at an underwater tavern, then grab a drink between brawls. Or descend into the Abyss Arena, where contenders of every species are welcome to fight. And as for the mysterious arena hidden deep in the forest... first, you’ll have to figure out how to qualify.
- Even champions need a nest: Between matches, your camp is where you grow stronger. Spend the stars you earn in the arena to improve your bug cage, campfire, and tent. Every upgrade quietly tips the odds in your next match.
- The show never stops: The crowd will cheer your best plays and roast you just as loudly when things go wrong. The mouse host is always ready to stir the pot, while defeated rivals may end up in the stands, cheering you on instead. Taunt your opponents, work the crowd, and watch the tips roll in.
