How does you game fit the theme?
I inspired in the conspiracy theory that pidgeons arent real, and made a sniper game where you can only tell which ones are real by zooming in.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and produced all the art, but the audio and fonts are assets from the store, credited in the description

Fun concept would love to see more levels and it would alos be nice if one round was a little bit longer in time.

It's fun and intuitive. At first, I was confused, as to why I had a negative score but turns out I was just too lazy to read the tutorial. Overall a very simple but fun mechanic. I would love to see a few more levels, maybe with different difficulties or penalties/upgrades.

very intuitive game. Glad someone went with the birds as a theme :D

I played for quite some and I would have liked the levels to be a little bit longer but thats not a big deal. I really enjoyed it a lot :)

I loved this! I wasn't sure what to expect but turns out it was a super short and clever arcade game. I love that all of the pigeons look the same when not zoomed out and was instantly able to spot the phony pigeons when I zoomed in. I loved the little hop animations on the birds and the shoot animation vfx/sfx were super satisfying. I really like the approach to the theme and the focus on simplicity. 


High score: 90

Very cool game. Would like to see what else you do with it.

That's a nice idea, and it fits the theme perfectly ! The time limit is a bit short however, I would have enjoyed a bit more bird-killing time, but that was an enjoyable little game ^^ !

Great idea! The art is amazing and really surprised me! The instructions are flipped though, and I really wish there was more time too! Overall really fun!

Simple game, but very fun! I kept playing until I finally reached 200. Good work!

plot twist none of them are real

I like the minimalistic approach and I thought the idea of the pigeons being robots was very funny! There is a tiny mistake on the title card explaining the controls saying left is the scope and right is shoot. Found out that was backwards. I would like to see more of this like a rush mode or more levels or perhaps if you shoot so many in row it gives you more time. This game has huge potential!
