I find it confusing that you sometimes don't seem to have enough peckable balls of the right color to train the pidgeons properly and I'm not sure where to position my pidgeon to perfectly hit my peck. But I really like how the result is played out. Overall a really nice game. I'm definitely gonna tell my friends about it :)"},{"author_name":"CiderPunk","author_uid":"7534","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1429570620,"text":"Excellent! would like to invert mouse but that's just nit picking"},{"author_name":"xbcw","author_uid":"28725","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:53pm","epoch":1429573680,"text":"Unique idea.

We are really happy that you like it. :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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. :)"},{"author_name":"Luminar","author_uid":"45162","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1429626420,"text":"I really liked that one :)\r<br\/>Sounds are also nice"},{"author_name":"shatley123","author_uid":"20690","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:43pm","epoch":1429627080,"text":"Fun game.
