A downloadable bird game for Windows

DON'T LOOK BACK NOW!

It's time to bust out of your canary cage and take it to the next stage!

Roy McCaw, Basso, Duster the Clean Up Guy and Sweet Granny Myrtle (she's doing hard time) are breaking out of their gilded prison to finally smell the sweet air of the city and all the fresh water and bread at the park they can eat til their stomachs burst!

But it won't be easy. Warden, the housemaster's pet lap cat will do anything to stop them! Mostly because of how bad it would look if there was a broken cage with no birds inside...but who cares! A bird must fly free!

Gun down squirrels with acorn blasters, pop roaches with popcorn explosives, grab the super speed and eat Granny Myrtle's healing seeds because it's gonna' be a long night...and these birds have gotta' take flight!

Controls

Controllers should connect automatically, two controllers are required for two player using controllers. 

Control Pad (Xbox Style): Left and right bumper to turn, d-pad or left analog stick (if supported) will move the character. A and B to shoot, X and Y to engage autofire.

Keyboard Player 1: Q and E to turn. WASD will move the character. Spacebar to fire. Tab to engage autofire. 

Keyboard Player 2: Numpad 4 and 6 to turn. Arrows to move the character. Numpad 5 to fire. Minus key to engage autofire.

(Note for Controls): Try using autofire to side step any keyboard priority issues, this is a game where you hold a lot of keys down for shooting and movement and this will help with that!
