A one-finger game about a starling flock at dusk. Gather strays, dodge the falcon, and land them in the tree before the light runs out.

Velugu is a one-finger game about a starling murmuration at dusk. Let go, and your flock spreads out across the sky, sweeping up stray starlings. Hold, and it tightens into a fast, dense ribbon that follows your finger. A spread flock gathers. A tight flock survives.

Land your birds in the roost tree before the light runs out: only the birds that land count, and anything still in the air when night falls is lost. A falcon hunts the sky, taking birds from a loose flock but glancing off a tight one, and the bigger your flock grows, the more often it comes. Every run asks the same question: how long do you keep gathering before you bring them home?

Every bird flies on its own. The flock is simulated on your phone’s GPU, so hundreds of starlings wheel, split and rejoin the way a real murmuration does. The sound is made entirely in code: gusting wind, wingbeats and the calls of birds joining and landing.

There are five levels in two chapters, from First Dusk to Gale, four dusk skies to earn, and a second way to play: hunt as the falcon, and learn why a tight flock is a wall. Velugu needs no account, has no in-app purchases, and plays offline.
