About Shadobirds
Don't download this game! it's too hard for you! You won't complete this game! Never! Trust me, I programmed this, I know what I'm saying. I literally lost the best part of my life trying to beat it. I made it at last, but the price was too high! I lost everything I love to beat it, and now I'm alone and lonely, but at least I can say "I completed Shadobirds". Can you say the same? FEATURING: 20 Levels full of obstacles Birds Black Shadows Other Birds Nest Obstacles and when you think you are done... More obstacles! Enjoy... if you can
