Birdigo Takes Flight on Steam – A Charming Word-Combo Roguelike

Word lovers and card game fans, get ready to soar—Birdigo is out now on PC via Steam, blending the brainy wordplay of Wordle with the deckbuilding chaos of Balatro in one adorable, addictively clever package.

Created by screenwriter John August (Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Charlie’s Angels) and indie developer Corey Martin (Bonfire Peaks, Pipe Push Paradise), Birdigo started as a passion project after August put out a call for a game dev on his Scriptnotes podcast. Martin answered, and together they’ve built something truly special—and totally unputdownable, according to early reviews.

“It’s the perfect mix of Wordle and Balatro.” – Vice

“My new favorite word game.” – PC Gamer

“Frankly unputdownable.” – Finger Guns, 9/10

What is Birdigo?

In Birdigo, you’ll In build words using letter cards, but it’s not just about spelling—it’s about strategy. Each word you create adds up to ‘flaps,’ the currency that powers your flock’s migration across the world. The further you fly, the harder it gets—but the greater your rewards.

You’ll unlock enchanted feathers, powerful cards, and special songs that change how words score, create crazy combos, and help you build mega-high scores. As you flap your way forward, you’ll guide an adorable flock of birds on a challenging, roguelike journey—one filled with smart plays, satisfying upgrades, and endless replayability.

Key Features:

• Wordbuilding with a Twist: Use letter cards to spell words and trigger flaps, combos, and powerful chain reactions.

• Strategic Deckbuilding: Unlock new feathers, decks, and modifiers to change how the game works.

• Global Migration: Guide your flock on a world-spanning journey, where each leg gets longer and more intense.

• Replayable & Rewarding: Unlock songs, feathers, and routes with every run, making each game a new challenge.

• Cozy + Clever: It’s cute, but don’t let the fluff fool you—this one’s got depth.

Whether you’re a fan of clever puzzles, strategic card play, or just love birds, Birdigo offers a unique mix of mechanics that makes each run feel fresh and rewarding.

Available now on Steam — so grab your deck, take flight, and see how far your words can take you.
