Bird Chime

Five birds, one tree, one song. Tap to hear each bird, drag to swap them, and make the tree sing. Played by ear — put your sound on.

Bird Chime is a small, gentle puzzle you play by ear.

Five birds sit on the perches of one tree. Tap a bird to hear its voice; drag it onto another to swap them. Press Chime to hear the song you're aiming for, then arrange the flock until the tree sings it back. Every level has a par — beat it in exactly that many swaps and you earn extra worms.

Worms feed the Nest. Hatch and raise five exotic birds — a bee-eater, a hoopoe, a turaco, a kingfisher and a roller — and they take their place in your tree, singing alongside the flock.

• Play by ear: colour never tells you the note; your ears do • Levels come in five-level worlds — meadow, jacaranda, autumn, savanna, blossom — with morning, afternoon, dusk and night light • Every fifth level is a bonus level with an all-exotic flock and double worms • From level 16 a shy bird hides its voice: work it out from the others • Short levels, no timers, no lives, no ads, no account, no internet needed • Progress is saved on your device; the game collects no data at all

Made by one person in South Africa. Bird Chime is best with the sound on — it plays even when your phone's ring/silent switch is set to silent, and there's a Sound button whenever you need quiet.
