Very nice game! The art is beautiful
GTA for pigeons. This game is gold! :D I like the animation, the idea and the chaos. And it's pretty impressive that the cars have some kind of reasonable AI. Is it just a raycast or more fancy? The only thing that could have been better, is the menu. The colors were hard to distinguish and it felt a bit clumpy.
Wow this is a really fun game. I love the concept and the way you have the display with points keeps me wanting more. All of the designs are great and clear from the top down creating a full blown traffic incident was great and looked good in the game. If you wanted to continue tweaking the game I would provide more goals, targets, or directions for the player. I was left wondering what to do when there was still 1.5 minutes left in the game. I stuck around because I wanted to try your next bird in the lineup but I think I used the original one again by mistake. I'm glad I stuck around though because your end screen is awesome I loved the summary of all the damage I had done across the city and it was displayed really well too. Thanks for the fun game.
Loved it
Really funny concept! Great idea and fits the theme perfectly. I'd say the rounds seem a little too long, and there could be hazards for the pigeon to avoid.
@grau thank you so much for noticing, it was really painful to make :sweat_smile:
if you're interested, it's got 5 raycasts and a couple of square detection areas, but it could've probably been better if we had more time. the intersections also have a traffic light logic with a bunch of preset paths for the cars to _mostly_ not crash, and there's also way too much hasty fixes around the game, so I'm not 100% sure I could explain it entirely :smile:
This was amazing!!! I actually enjoyed that there were no obstacles for the pigeon, because it meant you could shoot for a high score with fewer differences in each playthrough
@c4ris yes, I understand completely, we actually thought about reducing the round length right before uploading, but got scared because we had too little time to test it and decided to leave it as-is. thanks for the feedback!
I love the music for this! It's so fitting. Definitely a fun time! I've played it multiple times now and my high score is 16760. May come back to this. Those feel like rookie numbers. :D
This was fun! I like it.
I still have no idea how to "destroy the pacifists", though - and the timer for a round feels a little long.
I was sold when my poop caused a chain reaction resulting in several cars exploding. Starting with a pigeon that can auto-aim was a good choice, makes it easy to immediately see what effects the poop has. If I had to make a tweak, I'd probably reduce the round length. Good overall!
This was a blast to play. Lots of old school GTA vibes, just more entertaining. The sound track is great and fits really well. I think the rounds were a bit too long. I caught myself looking at the time with about 90 seconds remaining each round I played. Overall, a fun bit of chaos!
Very cool, I like the music a good bit. At times I felt like I wasn't really doing much and was just waiting, but besides that I liked it. Cool points system too!
Well, there's still 15 minutes to submission and it seems it's a common complaint, so we've reduced the round time limit to 2:00 minutes!
I got so happy when I saw I could play as a pigeon pooping over people! nice game :)
Loved it so much! TY for sharing it!
I found the traffic ai impressive. It's cool how drivers have more states then just "move", some of them get backed up and eventually decide to leave. I know from personal experience that traffic simulation and intersections are a pain, so congrats on the work here.
Flying around feels pretty good, the movement here works.
My biggest problem is that the interaction between the bird and the city simulation is kind of boring. Which puts a dampener on everything because that's like the base idea of the game. It's pretty clear that you want to mess up cars, so the game is more about timing/aiming then like thinking. It's also kind of awkward to line up shots you want, although this is definitely part of the skill of the game. I don't think i was ever really able to "get in the mindset" of a pidgeon causing chaos. This game just feels like flying around and occasionally I hit a car which is useful. I feel like the game overall discourages moving around, which ideally would be part of the fun. The chain reaction events helped this problem but they didn't feel like enough The pidgeon with auto aim was especially boring, the game was much more fun with the other birds.
Genuinely amazing. I loved this. Unlocked all the birds, the dove is probably my favorite but I enjoyed all of them. And those sounds are _gross_. Hilarious. 10/10 Would drop poop on hippies again.
Incredible game
Pretty funny game, reminds me of GTA in a good way. I appreciate all the different types of scores you can get and the various birds to unlock, gives you incentives to play. Though it was unclear for me who the pacifists are.
The menu could use alternative ways to navigate. I initially tried to use mouse only.
Good job!
@coderaurus what do you mean by an alternative? the menu should support both keyboard controls and mouse controls, did it not work for you?
@jabsatz No, didn't see any reaction from mouse input. Tried to change playable character.
thanks for the response! that's definitely a bug, I'll check it out for the post jam :hugging:
Very fun and unique action game lol. Love causing chaos and racking up points from the chain reactions.

Big points for humor! This game ran poorly in the web build, but it was fine when downloaded. I really love the artwork for the birds, by the way, they look fantastic!
There's a lot of randomness in weather you score well, based on cars causing their own accidents and fist fights. I recorded myself playing the game for even more feedback. Enjoy:

thank you @100th-coin ! I love your entries, the praises mean a lot coming from you :heart:
I know we were way in over our heads making all the AI for the cars, I'd love to keep improving it so these issues come up less frequently, I definitely agree that whenever there is an accident it should be because the player caused it
thanks for all the feedback!
A game where you can shit on people is already a 10/10 for me!
The game was very funny, I loved that each unlockable bird was very different. But some things were difficult to detect, like the pacifist!
Wow! That's the winner
Very goofy little game. Liked playing the fast birds more than the others but couldnt unlock the 3rd one, Kinda wish I knew what I had to do to really unlock that one, as its not 100% clear or I just dont understand if it is clear XD. Loved the classic top down GTA type view and the graphics for it really sold it as a well-made game.
Hey lots of fun haha! I love the ease of hitting things :) – like how complex it gets with the unlocks:)
Hilarious game! Had a lot of fun playing it and love the graphics! Was so much fun creating all that carnage. Would love to see this game fully fleshed out with even more carnage! Had fun playing on stream! You can watch it back at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1626886549
