Toucan play at this pun game. This game is so ducking good, it would be hard to fowl it. The artwork is eggcellent and the gameplay is certainty not bor-wing. The idea is clawsome and the difficulty is pheasant. This game is pige-on top of the pecking order and is probably made with dove.
Thank you for your dove-ly comment. If you want a sneak peck at the tailented development flock, I can assure you that we were on beak performance and we are ready to take this to the nest level. We wouldn't disappoint; we have bigger fish to fly. Your comment did not tail to make owl of us happy.
This game is awesome, immediately caught my eye and was so fun to play! I went through the things and I might have missed it, but I was wondering what font do you guys use for this game?
"Mess with the flock you get the glock" might just be the single greatest tagline for a game I've ever seen. As a fellow bird lover, this is the best game featuring birds I've ever played 10/10 quality
Really adorable fun little game! I suck to much to beat it (I keep getting to around wagon 4 or 5 and then dying) but I absolutely love the pixel art and gameplay/the little tune that repeats. I really love birds, so that certainly helps in making it even more enjoyable! Great work all of you. :-)
I don't mind the player's weapons being inaccurate. But it doesn't work for the enemies, they need the accuracy buffed. it's easier to dodge a bullet if you know exactly where it will go. shots that whiff you don't work well with these controls.
Thanks! Yep, doing `export mygame.bin` will give you a folder with binaries for all 3 platforms, and a Raspberry Pi version. PICO-8 can run on basically anything!
are there actual names for the enemies or no, because i call the regular enemies "waddle-dees", the foxes "Foxes", the bug things "Bugs", the bushes "Potts", and the robots "Terminators"
Actually no! The internal names, in the code, don't make much sense as we named them before they even had a design or sprite. Here they are, (it's not their "official" names):
hedgehog, hedgehogbuff, juggernaut, warm (typo of worm), tourelle (turret in french), explosive_barrel, and boss.
I'll let you guess which one is which :P I think it's more fun if you come up with your own names!
Honestly, if I could change the ESDF movement scheme, I would 1000% do it. Unfortunately, it's part of PICO-8's weird unchangeable quirks, I'm sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks! :) You're not the first one to point the similarities with Blazing Beaks (which I didn't know existed until pre-release so I couldn't have taken inspiration from it), I'll need to try out this game!
This exactly. For one, PICO-8 simply doesn't export to consoles, but even if it did, the enormous cost and effort of releasing a game to any main console just isn't worth it. Meanwhile, maybe play with a controller? I think PICO-8 supports all major controllers
Sadly, PICO-8's heavy size limitations didn't allow us to add different abilities... But we're working on an update that would add different stats for them and (maybe!) special abilities. I'm not promising anything right now, as size limitations might mess us up :p Stay tuned!
it sounds like monkey's with guns which is made by vimlark good game https://vimlark.itch.io/monkeys-with-guns is it inspired by it I'm not saying you copied as gameplay isn't multiplayer in birds with guns
This game is dope :D Nice graphics, music and game feel :) I was able to get to wagon 4 with a mouse, the autoaim on the keyboard is a cool feature but its still much harder haha
I'm glad you loved our game :D And it's interesting to know that you find the keyboard version easier, because when we implemented it I was actually scared it would make the game too easy haha

died meleeing a robot on cart 6...
great game yolwoocle, hope it gets a switch release!
You'll get it next time!! Thanks for playing!! :)
That is awesome!!!
I love this game! I played it during my entire 8th grade year (last year, so people don't feel old)
That's awesome! I'm amazed that you played it for so long! Did you finish the game?
not yet, I'm trying new strats (especially with Duck and Chicken) I want to do a "pistol only" run. Hopefully I finish this my freshman year
Please tell me if you ever manage to do it!
you got it!
One of my favorite Pico-8 games! Thank you for making it :)
Hey! I'm glad you liked our game! :D

Glad that you enjoyed our game! We're using the PICO-8 engine, and the font doesn't really have a name, but someone made a .ttf out of it here!
Thank you mucho for the fast reply <3 stay awesome
Nice game
And by the way, these bird icons are stunning impressive in their minimalism!
Thank you very much for your kind words! :)
And don't forget me, I just love birds :-) And I'm also a big fan of pixel graphics!
We have some common points! :)

I love birds too! I'm glad you loved our game :)

You are super welcome! Nice to meet another bird fan :-)
"Mess with the flock you get the glock" is the best tag-line ever.
Thanks, I wish I could say I came up with it, hahaha
Love it. Thos are some really cool birbs, huh
Thank you so much! :D

I understand, this is something we had not considered. Thanks for the feedback, it's very valuable to us!
Hello StarDragon, what happened to your game The Shark's Bathhouse? I really liked the game and I just found out its gone.
brilliant. the mugshots are genius. action is great. really well done.
The game was really made with Pico-8 ? This look impressive. If yes, i didn't know you could export them for windows & linux.
Thanks! Yep, doing `export mygame.bin` will give you a folder with binaries for all 3 platforms, and a Raspberry Pi version. PICO-8 can run on basically anything!
That's cool. All versions of pico do that or only the most recent ?
All. Maybe not the really old ones, but it's been like this for a long time when I started using PICO-8 a year ago.
Thank you for the information.
are there actual names for the enemies or no, because i call the regular enemies "waddle-dees", the foxes "Foxes", the bug things "Bugs", the bushes "Potts", and the robots "Terminators"
Actually no! The internal names, in the code, don't make much sense as we named them before they even had a design or sprite. Here they are, (it's not their "official" names):
hedgehog, hedgehogbuff, juggernaut, warm (typo of worm), tourelle (turret in french), explosive_barrel, and boss.
I'll let you guess which one is which :P I think it's more fun if you come up with your own names!
here's my guess.
hedgehog=waddle-dee
hedgehogbuff=fox
juggernaut=termanator
warm=bug
toerelle=Potts
Explosive_barrel= i have no idea (This is sarcastic)
boss= The Boss
That is correct! explosive_barrel is the pink bomb.
Basically Blazing Beaks + Nuclear Throne, super fun! Will it release on steam?
Releasing on Steam is suuuper expensive and tedious. But you know, maybe... ;)
Alright nevermind, you've made an excellent job!
Np! Thanks!
no need its fine here :)
Not a fan of the ESDF movement scheme; always been used to WASD movement. Aside from that small gripe, it's a fun little game.
Honestly, if I could change the ESDF movement scheme, I would 1000% do it. Unfortunately, it's part of PICO-8's weird unchangeable quirks, I'm sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Glad you enjoyed the game!
It's okay. I'll use the arrow keys and X to shoot.
Seagull is OP :3
Is this inspired by Monkeys with Guns? Great game btw.
Only subconsciously, but yeah
cool
this game is stupid and i love it.
cool game; its similarity on a basic level to blazing beaks tripped me out, but it plays a lot differently. fun :)
Thanks! :) You're not the first one to point the similarities with Blazing Beaks (which I didn't know existed until pre-release so I couldn't have taken inspiration from it), I'll need to try out this game!
This game is so good, i love how all the pixel art looks, amazing job!
Thanks a lot!
neat
This was impeccable!! :00
I'll be sure to buy the full version ASAP :d
Lovely job <3
Thanks for finishing our game! :D
this game looks amazing but sadly im a console gamer . any plans for that game on consoles? i would love to play it
sadly my friend, consoles cost lots of money, and is impossible (if not implausible) on Pico8
This exactly. For one, PICO-8 simply doesn't export to consoles, but even if it did, the enormous cost and effort of releasing a game to any main console just isn't worth it. Meanwhile, maybe play with a controller? I think PICO-8 supports all major controllers
i understand . thx for the message
Np! :)
Would you mind making the cartridge purchasable? As in, the p8.png file
Sure thing! But if you own PICO-8, the cart is available on the BBS page :)
Absolutely hooked on this game.
music is FIRE
i saw this then i read the title then i played it
great game good job
is it endless?Thanks for playing! It is actually NOT endless, we should release an update to make that clear. There's 7 wagons and a boss at the end
also just wondering, do each birds each have special abilities or different endings or just for the looks?
Sadly, PICO-8's heavy size limitations didn't allow us to add different abilities... But we're working on an update that would add different stats for them and (maybe!) special abilities. I'm not promising anything right now, as size limitations might mess us up :p Stay tuned!
Hey, just a heads up, we just released an update taking into account this feedback :)
it sounds like monkey's with guns which is made by vimlark good game https://vimlark.itch.io/monkeys-with-guns is it inspired by it I'm not saying you copied as gameplay isn't multiplayer in birds with guns
your game is good
and fun
Thanks! And yes, the name was inspired by Vimlark's game, though probably in part subconsciously
k
This game is dope :D
Nice graphics, music and game feel :)
I was able to get to wagon 4 with a mouse, the autoaim on the keyboard is a cool feature but its still much harder haha
I'm glad you loved our game :D And it's interesting to know that you find the keyboard version easier, because when we implemented it I was actually scared it would make the game too easy haha
I meant keyboard is much harder!
Amazing Game
LOVE IT
THANKS
I LIKE SHOUTING TOO
WHY WE SHOUTING IN THE itchio?
I DON'T KNOW
Beautiful work. Absolutely love it. This rock
Thanks a lot :)
