Swordbird Song: The Iron Owl Tower

About This Game

Follow the Bird Hero as they enter the lair of the Iron Owls in this Action RPG game for the Gameboy.

Bird Hero's journey is interrupted when they are struck by lightning and fall onto a remote island. They learn that the island is ruled by the Owl King, an evil ruler who oppresses the islanders, forcing them to work in his tower. Find your way into the Iron Owl Tower, defeat the Owl King, and free the island from his evil!

Swordbird Song: The Iron Owl Tower

is a story-driven top-down 2D action RPG game focused on exploration, dungeons full of puzzles, and charming characters. It is the first game that I have ever developed, heavily inspired in Gameboy classics such as

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

and

For the Frog the Bell Tolls

.
