Game Description

Pigeon Pals is a pixel-art pigeon-keeping game about a little rooftop loft and the whole city around it.

You start with two pigeons, Fawkes and Rocky, and an old keeper named Mara who shows you the ropes. Feed them, water them, sweep up after them, and get to know them before the city gets its hands on them.

What a day looks like

  • The loft. Care for your birds, set out perches and nests, and keep the place clean. Sick birds need remedies. Tired birds need rest.
  • The market. Once a day you walk down to the street: seed, water, remedies, curios, and an exchange where new birds turn up. The stallholders remember you, and the good stuff rotates.
  • The mail. Send your pigeons across the city with letters. Every route has its own distance, weather and risk, and the map shows you the real odds before you commit. Most birds come home. You'll remember the ones that didn't.
  • The races. Club races are dice derbies: every bird carries its own die, with faces it inherited and faces it trained. Then the wind gets a say. After 6pm, a stranger on the corner will race your pigeon for in-game money.
  • The family. Pair birds, hatch an egg, and watch talents run in the blood. Every chick inherits from its parents, so the family you build is the flock you race.
  • The nights. The day ends at bedtime and the game saves overnight. Some mornings you wake to good news. Some mornings you don't.

It looks cozy. It isn't always. Birds get sick, get lost and die, and that's part of it. Start with the Traditional campaign, which walks you through your first week, then try Rough Economy, Olympian, Danger Zone or Hardcore if you want the loft to push back.

AI Disclosure

Yes. I made Pigeon Pals as an independent developer using AI-assisted tools throughout: the code, the pixel art, the writing and the marketing assets were all produced with AI assistance under my direction and review. Every screenshot and the trailer are real captures of the game as it actually plays; nothing shown is a mock-up.
