Pigeon Post Office by Pigeonescu
Collect and deliver as many letters as you can. Pigeon on!
You're playing as a Pigeon, collecting the letters from the villagers for the Pigeon Post Office. Lately a new competition appeared, trying to steal your customers. Collect as many letters and defeat the Magpies from stealing your job by the end of the day.
Pigeons are awesome.
How to Play:
Your Goal is to collect the letters that are dropped at the mail boxes.

You will encounter different obstacles.

Use your pigeon sense to find your way towards the letters (don't forget to drop them at the P.P.O.!)

This is your Pigeon Post Office (P.P.O) and where you will bring all your letters.

Have fun!!!

Found the game quite cute, I liked the art very much !
Is there an area at the top of the map that opens at some point ? Kept being intrigued by the 2 guarding cats that I could not get through.
Letters lost in un-flyable area was a bit frustrating, but that's because I'm bad at pigeon
We got hit by scope creep pretty hard and had to rush to make something playable for the Jam.
Originally we planned to have quests to deliver letters between npcs with some puzzle solving to find your way around the map and unlock a suburban area and a bigger city area all with their own obstacles and puzzles.
The current game was supposed to be just a mini game or a triggered event, and the current starting point was supposed to be more of a tutorial area for the final game.
We are thinking to continue working on the game to finalize the original idea.
@pigeonescu Yeah I feel you so much.
Thanks for the details, don't hesitate to tag me if you post more funny pics of your pigeon haha
I really liked the magpies — they're so fast and graceful!!!
But I often got stuck when I hit the edge of the road, which really slowed things down and was a bit frustrating. The game also feels a bit empty because the grass doesn't have even a slight texture.
Paradoxically, the longest time I ever spent on a piece of pixel art was also a woodpigeon (does not mean it's good)... but I have to admit that was as a pizza ingredient for my very first LD game xD

We want to keep working on this game and every help counts, well post updates here and on itch in the near future.
@emilija-marija Will make our pigeon coo at the microphone for the future updates!!! :))
@kate666 Yeah, I'm not very used to making pixel art yet and wasted so much time on the houses that I had to cut corners with other assets :)), will polish up the art more in the near future!
@archaeognathus THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIGEON!!!! Never had pigeon pizza, will ask our pigeon if she's interested.
@wuppos Thanks for letting us know!!! The letter spawn rate was randomized and because of that we overestimated the average time it would take. :))
For some reason the first time I played the arrows and mail weren't showing up so I was very confused for a solid 3 minutes trying to figure out what I was supposed to do lol.
Though everything worked fine once I reloaded it and it was lots of fun to play! Great job guys!
