Moin! I really like the feeling of the game. After a few minutes I got a little stressed when a pigeon came up to me. 😀 My sense of orientation is not very good, so I quickly got lost. Maybe you could add some signs to point the way or a little minimap.

Hi, nice job on the newspaper art and the game felt pretty advanced while easy to control. Like others I didn't understand how to play very well. There is a counter when we load the birds but it zeros when bringing them to the goal, so I'm not sure what to do. Also it would load birds back when I'm at the town hall.
Good job overal and looking forward to your future games. I also learned a lot on this jam!

Kill the virusReally liked the newspaper, but from the title I was getting different vibes, like a mistery.

Age of PlaguesThe newspapers were probably my favorite part. And agreed, in hindsight the game doesn't really tell you what to do. I updated the description to clarify what we were aiming for. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for playing. (and if you didn't get through the game you can actually use the NumPad + button to view all the newspapers)
Yea, definitely dropped the ball on actually explaining how to play. As for the theme, the intent is for the pigeons to be the plague. They rush the vehicle, slowing it down and causing delays. The story tried to flesh this out better, but the game, as is, doesn't really incentivize the player to continue. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
I like the Setting and the Artstyle. Would nicely fit a Point & click type of game.
