I do have a mushy spot for pigeons, strutting round metropolis squares and cooing like a flock of gossips fussing over a biscuit tin. Better dottering pigeons than murderous seagulls, that’s for positive. But real-life pigeons generally is a bit manky and mangled, so thank goodness that fashionable know-how has enabled the creation of simulated pudgy pigeons within the aptly-named Pigeon Game. It’s a free little doodad set inside a small digital park, the place we are able to throw sunflower seeds to orbic pigeons, chase them, and even pet their squidgy our bodies if they arrive to love us. What a future we reside in!
You can obtain Pigeon Game free for Windows and Mac from Itch.io. It’s made by Leura Smith and Zachariah Chandler, began as a college mission over 4 weeks.
It lets us feed the ravenous horde:
Chase the bulbous vermin:
And, as soon as we’ve fed a pigeon sufficient, it’ll go to sleep so we are able to creep up and stroke its puffy bod:
I’m mmmostly right here for the cooing noises and making these fats balls distort. Who’s a very good squidgeon? It’s you! Yes you might be. Yes you might be!
Smith says “the end goal” is to have the ability to feed, chase, and pet “as well as HOLD not only pigeons, but a bunch of different kinds of birds.”
To maintain varied birds! What a dream.
