Walking finches

Walking finches either stand still or walk horizontally on a rope and will move towards the player when they get on their rope.

Big finches

Big finches move slower than the other rival finches, but are much wider, so they are sometimes difficult to avoid. The player should time their jumps carefully.

Chasing finches

Chasing finches are the fastest of all the finches. As soon as the player gets on the same rope the chasing finch is on, it will start chasing the player, pursuing them quickly and will jump onto higher ropes as well. The player has to outrun the chasing finch in order for it to cease from chasing them.
