Pimp My Nest by Damyyr
This is Billy. Billy loves you.
Note: You may want to play directly on itch.io. Embedded here seems buggy/cropped
Are you better than pigeons?
Did you know? Pigeons are pretty well known for building really awful nests. Well, now you do.
You play Jerry Bassecourt, who thinks he can do better.

Take to the skies and go help Billy, because he really needs it. Pimp My Nest is a goofy 2D game where you help Billy grab weird city junk and build a nest that matches a Billy's hopes.
How to play
All mouse! Left click will be your only weapon.
You will go over the city to collect ~~garbage~~ things to make Billy a nest. 12 items is the gate to build your masterpiece. Choose wisely ~~as much as one can~~!
Score System
You actually can go to 100%, and to an undefined negative percentage. Don't forget to share you lowest score!

You can also share your best nests, I never did a 100% without cheating!

More Talking
This is our first ludumdare, and it was crazy (in the good way)! It also was the first real jam for @HoneyPoo

Post Jam
- We’re still missing one key feature, time management
- More levels, more shape to match
- There is a whole scene missing at the end, all object has a description and score was initially supposed to be based on various factor (time remaining, objects used, etc.)
Maybe come back and try it again when it’s in :)
Note
We opted out of sound because our audio attempts were so bad even we couldn’t keep them :)
Of course, any resemblance to real people or things is purely coincidental.

Congrats on the 100%, that must have been a cool garbage pile haha
My pigeon building her nest(that's a fry from mcdonalds):

Btw I've got a but were I have a red effect during mid gameplay ? Maybe I got hurt one time but then the effect never disapear XDDD
Great job!

BILLY I LOVE YOU TOO

We're aware of the click-everywhere behaviour in the first phase, having a limited number of item or more complex nest shape would have reduce that, but we went for simplicity since we ran out of time.
@pigeonescu HAHAHA you would not believe for how long I laughed before being able to write this reply
@myheadmess The only 2 things that can be hurt in this game are Billy's feelings and Jerry's ego, so I'd call that a bug :sweat_smile:
Thanks for helping Billy, people !
Damn almost at 100%!! It's definitely one of my favorite games from the ludum dare so far, I had a lot of fun! I was really excited to discover what object I found and then it was really relaxing to arrange them in the nest! Congrats!!
@snowpriestess Thank you for you kind words :blush:
@ira-baciu It seems that the combination of win11 + Firefox is not a winning one, sorry :( It should work on any browser chromium related, but I recommend using the link to itch.io; that way you won't get the weird cropped version.

@jasminej2003 Noted, thanks for your feedback!
@steven-garberg Ohhhh thanks!
@gullyngames Thanks for the feedback, you're totally right, the first part was a bit rush. We think that in a real release (like a mobile game) this part would be replace altogether.
@eugenik @peggy404 Thanks, we're glad you liked it so much!
@britt-and-woofs We hope that gave you 2005's MTV vibe haha
