Project Pigeon by LimeniusTeam
During World War II, the allies needed a guidance system that could target enemy warships. Professor B.F. Skinner devised a system that used trained pigeons to guide missiles.
But someone had to train them. And that's you.

Yes, making the pecking a bit tricky was intentional, we didn't want it to be too easy -after all, is the only thing you have to do-. :D And even so, after two or three attemps, you get quite good at it.
The shortage of balls is intentional too; you get some extra balls when you ask for a new pigeon, and in that way you can decide in which objectives you should focus first, depending on which colors you have available at the moment.
Our favourite part is the bombing scene too. :D Perhaps it would have been good to introduced more elements in the balls scene, dedicating more time to it, but making the bombing was actually a lot of fun. :)
Sounds are also nice
My criticisms would be it was a little confusing on which colors to peck at, also some sort cross-hair or something to help tell if you're in pecking range would have been nice.
hurrr gurrr, you nazi bastards!
I read about pigeon missiles before, and all my votes going for idea and theme.
And humor... and mood.
Exellent game!
I think, you should only make it a bit harder, because for now it's too easy to catch balls.
