About Squawk
I recently stumbled upon Squawk and couldn’t help but grin at how it turns you into this feisty little bird on a mission to tour vibrant skies and outsmart tricky puzzles. From the moment you take flight, there’s a playful energy in the way the game nudges you to explore every nook of its skybound world. You’ll zig-zag through floating islands, hop between hot-air balloons, and maybe even engage in a cheeky feathered feud or two.
Controls are delightfully simple—just a tap to flap and a swipe to dive—but mastering them is where Squawk really shines. You’ll learn to time your wings just so to pick up gusts of wind, dodge spiky obstacles, and carry precious eggs back to safety. Scattered throughout are power-up seeds that give you extra lift or shield you from nasty storms, so it’s always worth veering off the beaten path to collect them.
Visually, the game feels like someone painted a sunrise in pixel art and then cranked up the color saturation to eleven. Every level has its own palette, from candy-colored clouds to dusky sunset horizons, and the soundtrack taps into that breezy, carefree vibe with jaunty tunes that make you want to flap along. It’s all stitched together in a way that feels handcrafted yet polished—no wonder it’s so easy to lose yourself mid-flight.
What really seals the deal, though, is how Squawk never overstays its welcome. There’s a healthy mix of bite-sized challenges and deeper gauntlets you can revisit for better scores, and a local co-op mode makes it a blast to pair up with a friend and see who can rack up the most stylish maneuvers. Before you know it, you’ve spent an afternoon squawking over high scores and planning your next run through the clouds.
