Very nice! I needed to play 2 times to understand LOL but it was very fun

Really cool game and experience.

this is fun. i think you could have gotten rid of needing to hold down the mouse button, it would have been way more relaxing to just slide the mouse around because as far as i can tell there isn’t any advantage to letting the birds just go wild and fly freely. great aesthetic too it has that kinda cursed MS Paint game vibe to it. the art on the old lady is great. she’s a real blessing and a curse that woman.

Developer

You can actually throw your pigeons to dodge the hawk sniper fairly easily. Also, programming it to just follow the mouse would have been somewhat trickier and i was already pressed for time as it is haha. Thank you for the comment!

always love a one button game, also the title screen is so well done

Really enjoyed it, I thought it only had one screen, but instead there were other obstacles, amazing!

Really nice game, I started really enjoying it when I reached the second zone (I realized in the first one I just needed to hold click and wait at the center of the screen). I didn't test it enough but it seemed that I had no reason not to hold down the mouse, every time I tried I would lose so many pigeons...

I have one question though: who snipes pigeons in the middle of town? :o

Developer

It's hard to see because it goes by so fast but that's actually a hawk that's attacking the pigeons. And right before it strikes you can throw your pigeons into the sky by letting go of the mouse to dodge it.

Submitted

Oh, ok, that makes sense... Maybe you should make the pigeons flock by default and make them fly away at the press of a button, kinda like a dodge.

Nice concept and climatic graphics.

Great game! I loved the everything about the game. Amazing job, especially for two days :) Keep up the good work!

Really fun and silly birds sounds great!

Submitted(+1)

Really good job for both!

Very fun and chaotic! This game has very hectic movement which makes it a lot more fun. Good job with the birds! The obstacles are great too! I would like to see the food respawn around the map though and not just at the bottom where the skaters come by every once in awhile. 

Developer

Actually it does! Pies spawn on the railings of the buildings, the grandma launches food into the air when she hits the fire hydrant, and the hot dog salesman shoots a hotdog into the air when hit by a skateboarder. I agree though that there should have been more. i wanted to scale the number of food sources and obsticales when you get to the infinite scrolling part, but I just didn't have time. Thank you for the comments though! I appreciate it a bunch <3

A really nice piece !! Amazing work ! Pigeon gang ahah ! :)

Cute entry, it takes me sometime to understand that I was actually controlling the pigeons :) but the movement is very enjoyable. Nice job! (and I like the logo)

Submitted(+1)

Great movement on the birds and fun gameplay! Really enjoyed it.

Submitted(+1)

Cute! I feel like just having them follow the cursor without having to hold down LMB would have been more enjoyable, but very fun! I was surprised there was more to the game than just the first location.

Developer

Well the reason I chose to have the player hold down the button was so you could dodge incoming attacks, like the hawk that snipes the flock. I was gunna add a slingshot character that did a similar thing, but I just didnt have time.

I really enjoyed this game, the graphics are cute, the music and sound effects are very good and fit the style of the game, I got 410 points XD

Submitted(+1)

I love the movement those super close moments are fun! Art is nice too

Submitted(+1)

Good art, sound design! I was confused on what was happening to start because of the title I thought you were trying to keep the food from them, not that you were controlling them hah. The gameplay was interesting! The most deadly object was str8 up the ground hah
