Hah, cool idea, good job!

I liked it. I didn't know about that pidgeon history.

Hehe, I really like the idea! I find it confusing that you sometimes don't seem to have enough peckable balls of the right color to train the pidgeons properly and I'm not sure where to position my pidgeon to perfectly hit my peck. But I really like how the result is played out. Overall a really nice game. I'm definitely gonna tell my friends about it :)

Excellent! would like to invert mouse but that's just nit picking

Unique idea. Pecking correctly was difficult. The bombing scenes were nicely done and (unintentionally?) funny.

Fun concept. Picking some balls could be difficult since you have to be right above them. The bombing scene is hilarious.

Surprisingly fun game, controls are a little weird (mostly the camera), but pretty cool.

This concept was a barrel of laughs. I had a lot of problems pecking the balls, but then again, you wouldn't want it to be too easy, right? The bombing scene made me grin.

Thanks a lot for the comments! We are really happy that you like it. :D

Yes, making the pecking a bit tricky was intentional, we didn't want it to be too easy -after all, is the only thing you have to do-. :D And even so, after two or three attemps, you get quite good at it.

The shortage of balls is intentional too; you get some extra balls when you ask for a new pigeon, and in that way you can decide in which objectives you should focus first, depending on which colors you have available at the moment.

Our favourite part is the bombing scene too. :D Perhaps it would have been good to introduced more elements in the balls scene, dedicating more time to it, but making the bombing was actually a lot of fun. :)

I really liked that one :)
Sounds are also nice

Fun game. Really goes well with the theme!
My criticisms would be it was a little confusing on which colors to peck at, also some sort cross-hair or something to help tell if you're in pecking range would have been nice.

not so bad concept, even if there is a bird in my head now :s

Cool game. Very good humor. But both the balls spwning and the pigeons hitting with there missiles were little bit to luck based but very fun.

Great use of the theme, nice presentation and well-judged difficulty. This was a lot of fun (although maybe not for the pigeons...).

hurrr gurrr, you nazi bastards!

I read about pigeon missiles before, and all my votes going for idea and theme.

And humor... and mood.

Exellent game!

jordinuco 2015-04-21 15:39

Great idea but the really good part is how it has been adapted as a videogame. Particularly moodish the soundtrack of the real attacks... ufff it´s a strange mix of feelings

kostyan1996 2015-04-21 15:41

Man, I LOVE this game! Great idea, fun and interesting gameplay, all 5/5!
I think, you should only make it a bit harder, because for now it's too easy to catch balls.

Nice way to hook me in! I did not know that fact nor choose to question it because that is way too funny if true. The gameplay was a bit of a challenge at first and I think the player gets stuck if you run out of a certain colors ball... 4 blue ships and 2 balls = 0 accuracy :(

nopogo 2015-04-22 13:09

Very cool take on the theme!

rectangular-tim 2015-04-22 13:41

Well this was... interesting. Chasing the colored balls around was a bit frustrating and I'm sure you could have found a more easily reachable key than N for choosing the next pigeon.

triplevisiongames 2015-04-22 14:08

Very cool and very funny! Who knew pigeons were so dangerous?

resty 2015-04-22 14:27

interesting idea, though I feel a bit dizzy to be a pidgeon

elpaulo 2015-04-22 20:40

Theme is respected, i will keep this game on my hard drive, i want ton master it ^^

mike-cullingham 2015-04-22 21:16

Fun & learning. Thanks for the game.

mutatedsoftware 2015-04-22 23:01

I felt very proud of my pigeons... and then very sad for them :) Great concept and execution. Oh, I also liked how the camera pitched down like a pigeon would when walking, nice touch.

filthyincubation666 2015-04-23 05:18

nice

phocker 2015-04-24 04:29

was a litlle difficult to figure out but nice job

urbanhelsing 2015-04-25 13:36

Fun idea, good gameplay

peterfsat 2015-04-25 13:41

Funny game!

themonika 2015-04-26 00:44

Fun, but I found it incredibly difficult with a touchpad. I wish the penalty for missing were not equal to the reward for hitting.

ermrk 2015-05-10 19:19

Great job, one of the funniest game of Ludum Dare!
