Pigeons aren't Real
What would you tell me if I said that pigeons aren't real? Not all of them, of course, but this makes it even more interesting: there are real meat-and-bones pigeons, and there are surveillance drones made of metal... Let's give them some trouble! I bought an EMP gun, and I'm gonna shoot as many of these bastards as I can. Wanna join? Don't worry, this gun can't hurt living creatures. At least, that's what was written on a box. You go first, let's try it!
Shoot the surveillance drones by clicking on them. Pay attention to the pigeon's behavior to distinguish drones from real birds. Don't spook too many real pigeons.

I feel bad that it took me so long to try it, but many curse words were uttered, both at fake pigeons for hiding behind the real pigeons, and at the real pigeons for hiding the bad ones. Hauled in $340 though!
It's fun enough to make me replay it some days after, and I reached 1000$ by focusing hard!
That’s a delight to read, thanks for sharing! :) Also, wow, 1000$ is like 100 pigeons, you’ve got a lot of patience! If we ever decide to add achievements to this game, I’ll make sure to name one after you! :D
Oh, cool! :D
good thing my government can't afford that stuff
Let’s hope they don’t get cheaper. ._.
Very well done, I enjoyed the visuals and sound design. The animations for the robo-pigeons made me chuckle. It was never really clear why I got X's. Is it when you make a real pigeon fly away? It isn't communicated that well.
Glad you enjoyed the game! Yeah, you get X's if you click on real pigeons, or if robo-pigeons fly away
Very funny! And quite hard actually
Thanks for playing! :) It was tricky to balance the difficulty during the game jam, but I hope the game was entertaining for at least a couple of minutes.
It was! :) It's surprising despite how obvious the anomalies are and the sound, even looking everywhere you often miss it
