made by Carraka for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

LD53_logo.png

The year is 1925. Alcohol is banned. Every day, government agents hunt down hidden stashes of liquor to toss out the window.

You are a messenger pigeon. The last of your kind. You love to sneak around outside, catching the free, defenestrated drinks before they shatter. Drinking gives you the will to fly.​

One day, your friend Beakles brings you a special message that she says will lift the ban. You're the only pigeon to deliver it. But you can't do it sober.

Fly through this 2D bullet hell side-scroller game as a pigeon—catch drinks, dodge hawks, and bop along with old-timey, original jazz tunes.

This game was created in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 53: Delivery. All graphics, music, and SFX, were produced within this sleepless period. Please leave a comment and enjoy your flight!

Great art and especially great music. The gameplay is a bit chaotic but overall fun to play

It scared the crap out of me when the gun appeared in the second level! :laughing:

Great work with the writing, and the music fit perfectly too. The pigeon is somehow very cute and sad. Awesome submission! Messenger pigeons never forget.

Great game. The art style and setting was really fun and the music was fantastic. I loved the singing. I really enjoyed the mechanic of alcohol letting you fly but drinking too much killed you and being super heals you but could lose you flight. It made it really fun to way up what to do at every moment

Drunk pigeon got a liver failure. 10/10.

Joke away, this is a great game. Maybe a cool feature that could have been added is the controls becomming more unresponsive as you are getting more drunk.

The music and art a great! The gameplay is fun and frenetic, humor is on point. The inclusion of multiple endings was great and adds a little bit of replay value, too. Great work!

Really cool and fun game! really got me in the mood, I think adding more twist to the game would be even better though!

Amazing music! Bullet hell gameplay was a pleasant surprise. The gunshots are way too loud and the dialog a bit long, but overall a super solid entry. Well done.

Like the other commenter said I did not expect the gun! Although the gunshot was definitely too loud, I had to go turn down my Chrome volume to save my ears! I liked pretty much everything else here, enough gameplay elements to keep you interested and good little short story to it!

Lmao this game is great. The music is awesome, my favorite aspect of this game, and that gun scared the s**(pooping time!) out of me, what a great twist! At first I thought the controls would be weird because, well, you're drunk, but I'm kinda thankful they weren't..

I really enjoyed the difficulty progression you introduced. Level 1 with eagles, level 2 adds the sniper, level 3 adds the anvil... Each element was introduced in isolation very smoothly.
The art is also pretty cool! And I really liked the theme of the drunk pigeon haha

Good game, the music was top-notch. The first track reminded me of Meatball Parade song :D It sets awesome vibe for silly adventure like this. The graphics were also pretty good, although I wish there was a background for story-text. Animations could also be improved, most of them were linear. If you used different animation curves, this would go a long way to make game object's movement seem more natural.

Gameplay wise, I wish there was a better indicator when your alcohol or will to fly meter run out. Something like a fullscreen color tint perhaps? Through my attempts, most of the fails came out of nowhere, because it was hard too keep track of the meters and move around simultanously.

the art is amazing!! the gameplay can get a bit chaotic, but I guess that's pretty accurate about being drunk lol. Great work!

Love the silliness of the game. The art style is great so is the vibe and the music. The only thing i wasn't sure how it works is the alcohol thing :/
