Why am I a pigeon and why does everything want to kill me :D Pretty hard, but somehow still fun instead of just frustrating. The traps got me way too many times and the music after dying made it even better. Really nice visuals too and overall a very fun little rage game.

my hand hurts and im pretty sure my r key is crying but worth it. will have to come back to this game in the future to try and actually beat it, i admittedly rage quit when I accidentally clicked the brackeys page link while flailing my mouse around after getting to about half health on the apple and lost all my progress lol. those spikes from the ceiling are cruellll

The controls felt really nice and tight on this one, definitely a very solid platformer even without the creative level design. Once I figured out where the traps were and what to do to avoid them on each section it really felt like an issue of skill which was very nice and made me want to keep trying. Super polished, the audio adds a lot, and the persistent blood speckles are a grim but cool touch. Big fan of the art style of this as well, it was very effective and the little bird is adorable. I don't play a lot of rage games, this was probably my first in at least 5 years or so iirc, but I enjoyed this one much more than I thought I would. Great work!! :)

This is a fun rage platformer. I liked being able to know where the traps were ahead of time after dying. Good job.

the traps are sudden, and combined with the rock n roll music upon death makes the first few deaths per level funny. i like the blood appearing spikes so i can remember what parts are traps without needing to rely soley on memory. i had too big of a skill issue to get far but my experience playing this game was an enjoyable one.

I hardly play one of those platformer rage-game, I was too afraid to lose my temper, and this gave me a mini experience of iwbtg, Trap Adventure. Amazingly it took me 8:54:012 and 57 deaths to complete the game. The boss was very hard, my hand hurt from mashing the shoot button.

I really liked the game, but it was just too hard for me. The visuals and music are top-notch!

This was so hard sometimes but I always had to laugh when the rock music started announcing my pigeon being killed again. Great visuals.

I Wanna Be the Pigeon is a really good platformer with lots of unpredictable traps, fast-paced gameplay, and solid mechanics. The moment I saw the K at the beginning and then heard that heavy metal song, I was immediately hooked.

Normally, games like this tend to frustrate me pretty quickly, but somehow the soundtrack makes even failing feel rewarding. Every death feels a little less painful when you get to listen to that music again.

The traps are often completely unexpected, which keeps you on your toes, and the fast gameplay makes successfully getting through a difficult section feel really satisfying.

Overall, a surprisingly addictive and fun platformer. If you enjoy challenging games, chaotic traps, and heavy metal, this one is definitely worth checking out.
