Nice one. Very bizarre, but in a good way! #TeamPigeon. The boss themes go way too hard. I liked the boss variety as well. The radio was a bit much for me, maybe just because I'm tired. A little too chaotic for everything else that was going on. I couldn't focus on it all. Either way, great submission as usual!

Super fun game! Loved all the work that went into it! The sound could have used some more mastering as I felt like I could not hear all the hilarious radio chatter and the screams were a little loud. The summons felt a little underwhelming especially the cat just kept dying immediately, which did not feel great for that price, the pigeons were great tho! I am a sucker for boss fights so getting three was a real treat and the voice acting and humor in general were great!

Super fun and super funny. I lament the lack of volume sliders, but everything else is pretty great. Terrible wizards represent!

Crazy wizard! I liked it. Orbital pigeons (Birds) are imba, but it's awesome! The variety of bosses is a plus too.

The art is definitely something, but the game is quite enjoyable and fun!
Police have a little too many machine guns, and fighting sewer is not something I was expecting.
I only found the pigeons to be top tier, and the heal to be necessary. Cats are a little disapointing for the price.
Also, the fly nearly killed me so fk it.

Really great stuff!
Particularly liked the soundfx and vox work,
the police radio, screams and hits, and the summon bird! rat! vox
Really great sense of humor and really fun to play
and the newspaper death screens were just *chef's kiss

Overall, Just really great work!

i love the art style and humors xD it was pretty decent challenge too, it took me a few tries to become mayor! i didnt realized what the substance option did at first because i tried using it at the beginning and obvs was at full health so i thought maybe it was just broken hehe

the radio chatter was my favs and when the police die lmaooo

This is definitely one of those "so stupid, but I love it" type of games. Super fun and I love the art and humor in this game.
