Pigeon Pals is coming to Android (closed test)

The browser beta now has an Android build, and it went to Google Play today as a closed test.

It is the same game: the rooftop loft, the breeding, the mail routes, the races, the market and the casino, installed on your phone instead of running in a browser tab. Your loft saves inside the app, and Settings > Export backup gives you a file you can keep or open in the browser version.

What I need: a small group of Android testers who will actually play a few in-game days and tell me what breaks. Google's closed tests work from a list of Google accounts, so the sign-up asks for the email on your phone and nothing else:

The install link comes by email when Google finishes reviewing the build (usually within a week). If you can keep it installed for a couple of weeks, that is what makes the test count.

What is in the build: version 0.9.0, the whole campaign and all five modes, the city map, club and street races, the casino (in-game money only), decorations, and the same save rules as the browser: it saves after every night, immediately when a bird dies or is lost, and after every casino bet.

Browser play stays free at https://pigeon-pals-beta.pages.dev/beta/ for anyone who would rather not install anything, and the two can swap saves by hand through Export and Import.

If you are on iPhone: not yet. The browser version works there.
