Purely stunning. I had so much fun and laughed the whole time! xD

I hated the game, but in a good way! The pidgeon trolled me so hard I couldn't play for a while lol, the trickery was very well executed, maybe they trigger a bit too much, I'm not sure, also the spoken text gave it a bit extra, the graphics were very nice, I also liked the intro story a lot, overall very nice good job! :)

Developer

Thanks! The game is definitely designed to be as annoying as possible. Originally, the pigeon only spoke every 5-8 seconds, but we decided to be maximum evil and make it 2-4 :D

Did i just got trolled by pigeon?
This was truly amazing game, i did enjoy your favorite KSI song! Interesting experience.

Just to be clear - it's the pigeon's favorite - not mine. 🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing :D

Haha, nice game and twist! Ads banners are the worst and so the best, maybe I would waste more time without them :D

Such a insanity game

Submitted

Quite funny, decent concept. It legit just gets too frustrating to play though hahaha. There should maybe be a way to combat the stuff that the pigeon brings up on the screen, like closing windows off, to at least make it worth playing through to see more of the game. Otherwise my screens covered and I see no way around it and can't get past the first car lol. Maybe that's the point, but maybe dragging the point out a little longer would be better!


Only issue was I wasn't too sure how the "time" theme fit in, but I'm guessing it's just that it takes time?

Thanks for your review! We're glad you enjoyed playing and appreciate the detailed feedback. We wrote this devlog to explain more in-depth how our game fits the theme, so please take a look if you are curious: https://codesnorth.itch.io/pigeon-pressed-pause/devlog/916462/how-does-our-game-... 

Submitted

Okay, nice idea, I might do that myself as it's good to explain your submission!

Submitted

Wow, very fun and creative, and 4-th wall breaking. Is the game crashing in the middle also part of the intended experience haha. (maybe the pigeon crashed the game)

Developer

Haha, that is a glitch with the collision system. I guess it does align with the game vision of an unplayable experience though :)

Submitted

i think its your first game

Developer

What do you mean?

Submitted

I meant that this seems like the first game you've developed. If not, my bad! Either way, great job!

Developer

What makes you think this? This is definitely not my first game - we were going for a silly art style because the theme is April Fools.
