Sales Birdman will test your arm strength as you flap your wings to fly over the city, collecting coins and swooping around buildings.
Miyazaworks, wizard of alternate controllers (they’ve turned soap pumps, coiled rope, and huge pairs of scissors into controllers) has struck again with a pair of wearable wings. You strap them onto your forearms and flap them to soar over the skyscrapers collecting valuables. Doing so can be quite taxing, but considering doing this is likely better than this poor salesman’s day job, you may as well get the workout.
You have to bank by tilting your arm wings in the right direction if you want to get all of the coins. Not only this, but the amount you flap seems tied to your height as well, so you’ll really want to get those arms moving if you hope to get all of the coins on your flight.
Naturally, not only are you getting a good workout, you’re also looking delightfully ridiculous as you play Sales Birdman. Wearing a pair of giant wings is pretty entertaining in and of itself, really. This adds a lot of fun to playing it with a group of friends, and makes for a silly experience that’s well worth trying if you can find it at an installation or convention. Won’t you help this poor salesman make some money?
