In one line

A parrot on the roof knows every neighbour's lullaby — but none of its own.

In a hundred words

Lullabird is a whack-a-mole you can play in bed. A parrot lives on the roof of a small apartment building and has learned every song that drifts through the thin walls. When a window lights up, a neighbour is tossing and turning; tap it, and the lullaby reaches them. The song plays by itself — piano, then cello, then strings as the night gets later — and each window lights up just before its note, so the music tells you when to look. Three classical lullabies, three neighbours with a line of backstory each, hand-drawn in doodle style. No timers, no accounts, nothing to learn.

"I moved in today. So what song do you like?" — Brahmsy

"I only ever sang Canon at other people's weddings." — Pachelbelle

"I keep my light on all night. Everyone else needs the dark." — Beethowl

The building has more flats than tenants. A new neighbour moves in about once a month, each with a lullaby of their own — the first arrives in October.

How it plays

Nine windows, three floors. A lit window is a neighbour who can't sleep. Tap it and the song goes to that flat; it goes dark with a small z. The lullaby never waits for you — it keeps playing, and the lights lead the notes by a fraction of a beat, so a tap that follows the light lands on the note. Every time the song comes round, the clock moves on: 11 pm, midnight, 1 am. It gets a little faster and one more instrument joins. Miss three and the parrot nods off. Neighbours leave seeds to say thanks, and seeds welcome the next neighbour in.

Why it exists

Whack-a-mole is loud. Cozy games are quiet but leave your hands idle. Lullabird tries to be both: busy hands, quiet head. It was drawn by hand in the style of the doodle games its developer grew up loving, and the music is played by a small synthesised ensemble written note by note so it could be slowed down, sped up and re-keyed to sit next to a lullaby.

Things you may quote

"It's a whack-a-mole you can play in bed."

"The song plays by itself. The lights tell you when to look."

"The parrot always nods off last."
