Early Bird
Description
Early Bird is a 1-player arcade game for the Apple II.
The player controls a bird that moves in the 4 cardinal directions, and has to save 6 eggs at the bottom of the screen which are protected by platforms above. In each stage, pieces of fruit or vegetables fall from the sky. If a piece of fruit falls on the bird, it loses a life. There are also spiders which drop from above and can injure the player. The player can pick up pieces of fruit after they have landed on the screen, and if fruit builds up too high, it will collapse through the platforms protecting the eggs, and crush the eggs beneath. A stage is passed when the player has survived a number of fallen fruit. The player has a total of 3 lives, but gains a new life every 10,000 points. If the player loses all lives, it's game over. Each level has a different arrangement of platforms and eggs, and contains a higher variety of fruits and vegetables.
