About the game
You run a post office as Jeff and Debra, two kiwi birds who operate equipment with their beaks and bodies. Each shift asks you to send messages, arrange words or prepare parcels. The same workstations change across the seasons, adding moving keys, scattered paperwork and other obstacles. Finishing shifts earns stamps for hats, feather patterns and other accessories.
You can play with a partner locally or online, with each person controlling one bird. Divide the room between you, call out letters and pass work along before heading to the next job. There is time pressure when you chase better medals, but a mode without time limits lets you slow down. Extra shifts offer different tasks, and replaying familiar rooms rewards a pair who learns to work together.
