A solo word-building game where players form bird species names from letter tiles.

Birdigo occupies a quiet niche: casual word games with strong retention (50% still-playing rate, 85% positive sentiment) and zero promotional overhead. At current residual run rates, the title generates modest but steady monthly revenue with zero sales machinery required. The opportunity lies in light publishing support (localization, seasonal events, a modest content pass) rather than acquisition, since the solo developer has demonstrated sustained engagement. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Casual word games face fierce competition from free-to-play and established franchises; premium $9.99 positioning limits reach.
• Risk: Single-language implementation (English only, despite multilingual review scatter) and no workshop/modding capability reduce long-tail potential.
• Risk: Micro player base (2-4 concurrent) and solo-studio operation create content-update velocity risk if developer becomes unavailable.
