About this game

An interesting logic game, adapted from one of the minigames in Logical Journey . The goal is to lift a bird on a platform from the bottom to the top of a wall made of blocks by shooting differently colored dirt at the light-colored blocks of the wall, after first stamping the thrown block with a shape. There are twenty-five blocks in the wall (both light and black), as well as the same number of possible combinations of colors and shapes (five colors and five shapes). Each combination (color and shape) apparently corresponds to a specific block on the wall.

Each vertical row of the wall is "assigned" to a specific color, and the arrangement of shapes on the dirt blocks is related to their correspondence to the height of the block in the row. However, this relationship (that is, the relationship between rows and colors and the arrangement of shapes) is different in each new game. And this is only at the beginning of the game: when we win the first round and need to help a new bird reach the top of the wall, the principle changes: now we need to place clumps of dirt of different colors with the same shape on them in each vertical row.

When you hit a light-colored block, the platform with the bird rises; if you hit all of them, the game is won. The amount of dirt (and therefore the number of throws) is limited. The graphics are hand-drawn and look nice, but a lot in the game depends solely on luck.
