Great game! We had a good time playing it. We would really like to see more levels.

We were surprised too! Turns out we're not the only pigeon post game in this jam :)

Cute game. Took me a bit to get used to Space to close UI menus and had letters hide behind UI a couple times so I missed them, but other than that I had a good time puzzling.

great and funny game! the Piegon and the horse are very classic old tech in information tech, I enjoy the graphic and music well:)

My pigeon approved the game, really nice! We made a pigeon post game too, just that it was for LD 58 :)). Really happy to see so many people add pigeons to their games! (The horse is adorable too)pigeon.jpeg

Very lovely game with a lovely atmosphere! I found it a bit too tinkery with the menus as a large part of the time wasted on my part was on me taking a lot of time to open and switching menus, I think maybe a simpler ui would have benefited from this. The idea for the gameplay is very nice as I love games where you need to optimize routes, but I felt the time constraints were a bit too tight in the later levels

This turned out so cute! I really like your interpretation of the theme and the game's art style.

@fullmontis I added the ability to drag items directly from the world at the very last moment, so I didn't have time to explain this mechanic in the tutorial, unfortunately

@ronalchue ohh okay! I tried again and with your suggestion the game is much more playable, I would say that the times are still a bit tight cause there's a lot of variables to consider and i ended up relying on trial and error more than I think I should have. But the design for the game is lovely and well done ^^

Great management game! The UI takes a little getting used to at first, so the tutorial was definitely helpful!

Nice concept! :D The controls take a bit of getting used to, and the learning curve can be a little tricky at first. But once you figure out how everything works, you can actually get pretty fast, and the gameplay becomes really fun and satisfying!

Overall, a really creative little game! nice job!

I'm not sure how I am supposed to win this level if I have less time to deliver the letter than it takes to go to the first house and then to the second? Even if I go the moment that I get the letter the horse doesn't move fast enough to make it possible. Is it an error? pidgeonposttimer.png

@Stingdragon Note that the pigeon in this level lives in the purple house. Consequently, this letter can be sent via that pigeon at the start of the level.

Could you let me know if the concept of pigeons having different houses is not clear enough?

stingdragon 2026-10-20 20:05 ♥ 0

@ronalchue Yeeaahh... I figured it out when I tried to send the pigeon and it didn't fly to the post office. I automatically thought that all the pigeons would fly to the post and you would send the horse there as a hub. I saw the colour on the chest afterwards.

fun game! quite challenging. I needed a bunch of tries for each level. I would have liked an option to quickly restart a level, when realizing that I've done something wrong and can't deliver in time. Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing =)

Great job, your game is amazing! I loved playing it, super cool

The idea of building a communication network with carrier pigeons and horses is such a fantastic use of the Old Tech theme. It was really fun figuring out the routes and managing the different deliveries. Great job bringing such a clever, historical concept into a polished puzzle game!

cool to see more pigeon games

I have become a fan of pigeon post now. Also a fancy UI and graphic overall. Well done!

The starting tutorial here was actually really funny - I loved the art there, hehe! Those UI windows with the guide text were super useful. But even though they explained what to do, intuitively I just kept trying to click on the horse and then on the house instead of dragging them like the game wanted. Because of this drag mechanic, the camera and zoom felt a bit confusing to me. It feels impossible to do both at the same time - to drag an animal and move or zoom the camera. I feel like it would be much better to show everything on one static screen without any zoom to make the experience smoother. But other than that, it’s a really cool project!

@mcinnamoon There is the ability to click on the horse and press Q and then click on the house. But thank you for helpful feedback! I'll try to make the game more comfortable to play

I quite like how it plays more like a real-time puzzle game than a chaotic clickfest. Requiring players to deliver every letter while keeping each level short was a good choice.
