BIRDS AND BLADES
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Couch co-op RTS style game made for 2-4 players.
*CONTROLLER REQUIRED*
Play against friends, family, enemies, loved ones, loved dogs, hated dogs, birds, probably not cats. 2-4 players compete against eachother for control of the map.
You fly around the map as a bird, directing your armies & citizens where to go and what to do. Collect resources and fight to win the game. Get a bunch of archers right away and be the most annoying person on the face of planet earth, or have a grace period and wait until you're 6 days, 14 hours, and 13 min into the game to start attacking. Find out how to drop the game into 1 fps or get it up to 1000 fps and then message me, because congratulations, I haven't been able to do either of those things.

Hey! I really enjoy it, question though did you create the unit assets on your own, or are they from some asset pack? I really like them!
I created them on my own.
Bloody good game by the looks of it, I really want to play it, but alas I have no space :(
Unfortunately this build don't work on MAC...
I'm sorry to hear that. Is it just not loading up? What's the problem?
PS. I don't have the game files at my disposal at the moment, so I can't really edit anything to fix it. Unfortunately.
hey max, same problem here, I just get:
The application “(MAC - BETA) BIRDS AND BLADES v3.0” can’t be opened.
All I did was download -> unzip -> drag the .app into Applications folder -> open
I am on macOS Monterey
sorry bout that. I think one of my friends might have a mac, so I'll try and get a hold of it and test it out.
I can help you over Discord or something, hit me up if you want to :) Marton#5923
should be fixed now... @TomMarton here helped out in fixing the problem. Let me know if it doesn't work again though. Just make sure you reinstall it.
