Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is amazing. Priceless. Must buy.
Wasnt sure how the motion controls would translate. It rare that they are ever good. The.controls here are fantastic. Highly recommend this game. Its a lot of fun.
Great Game cause: -it plays easily -it loads quickly, good cause -you die a lot -in cool, biffy ways, and -every bird you pass looks suprised.
The only bad thing is how cocky pigeon can be. But seriously idc if we break our iphone squeezing it so hard cause we want to WIN so bad. This is like the movie top gun except its a game.
We are enjoying the game very much.
Amazing game, well made. Fun, skill-based fast action. The boss fights and different types of races keep it interesting.
Let us start off our saying this: Pigeon Wings is one of the best mobile games we have played in a LONG time. The game runs smooth and it is very fun and user friendly. Some parts of the game remind us of the airplane levels of Cuphead because you are in a plane fighting a boss. The movement is very similar to Cuphead as well. If you have not purchased this game yet, you should.
We saw this on the featured page and thought it looked interesting. We are a fan of endless runners and this is one of (if not the) best one we have ever played. It follows the mantra of simple to learn hard to master. In addition it has a story mode (a rare find for these games) that has pretty fun bite sized levels that get harder as you progress. On top of all of that, for this price, we cant recommend this game enough.
Everything but 3-5is fun make it easier plz.
The game is super difficult. Be warned. Its a good, solid game otherwise. The difficulty was somewhat off putting for us. It stopped being fun due to the sheer difficulty. Other than that, its polished and buttery smooth so if difficulty doesnt turn you off, by all means, enjoy.
Very fun, unique feeling game you guys have here. Love the music. Any chance of getting a sensitivity options for touch controls? Its prob 30% too sensitive.
Much fun but the touch controls are much broken on our iPhone X.
Great game with fast pace dodging and shooting. A mobile game gem that you can't afford to miss.
Pros: 1 the game/graphics/ music/gameplay is well worth your money 2 the levels are not easily passed so you dont complete the game immediately 3 the simplicity of the game helps Cons: None so far.
HOLY FRICK THIS GAME IS HARD! Ok, just had to get that off our chest. So wow we had more fun with this than we expected. One thing. If you are reading this than please, PLEASE AD A ENDLESS WAR MODE!! We love the combat in this game and one where you see hoe far you go in shooting stuff down sounds really fun. Oh and did we mention this game is hard? Because it is. Other than that, this game is a really good time and you should check it out. Oh also the art style is just like dreams. MMM.
This game is so fun and addicting. Can be hard most of the time but lets it of easy sometimes. There is also so much content. Endless mode,A long campaign, and extra DLC. For $2. Thats a steal. Its also a racing game and shoot em up game so it has to be good.
This game gets addicting. We love the music in this game as well.
A multiplayer option would be incredible.
We cant believe the game is soooo fun! Ok we really wanted it! We got it! Hard but fun.
The touch controls are far too sensitive and bullets are nearly impossible to doge.
Same old crap. Not particularly fun or original. Gameplay is very shallow and dull. Wish we could get our $2 back. This game should be free.
The frame stuck at the opening animation and you have to quit and enter to skip the animation, but we have no idea what happened story wise.
No sounds, no ability to toggle it on/off in settings. Tutorial/opening sequence freezes and crashes app. Tilt/touch settings dont change game in any way we can detect. Not happy with this purchase at all.
Great game. Great music. Get it now.
OMG BEAT 2-10 FEELZ ZO MUCH BETTER RIGHT PEOPLE.
Good game. Fast, good graphics, lots of fun. We were a tiny bit disappointed that there was no epilogue after the last boss. Felt a little anti-climatic. Still, we highly recommend.
Wow this game is great, we just wish here were more upgrades.
Most addictive game we've ever played. Two thumbs all the way up.
Controls are simple, levels are challenging, and animation is adorable. The game restarts so easily, too – no ads or stuff to click through. Nice.
Awasome the game. New dinamics, lots lots of fun.Best Game of the year. The perfect kind of tilt. We have enjoy every level of this game. Great!!! Love pigeons , kill the bosses.
Fun little game with a great sense of humor. The tilt based controls are responsive but still a challenge to master. The short levels are difficult but keep you coming back for more. This is just a must buy mobile game that will give you your money's worth and more. Can't wait to see what comes next from the people who made this.
The gameplay has vestiges of flappy bird and tiny wings. The levels are quick which leads you to think they are easy, but as game mechanics unfold, they become more challenging. The character gets funnier every time the NPCs interact with it. Hilarious.
This game is incredibly fun. It can get challenging but it's fair and that's what keeps us coming back. Great soundtrack too.
Beautiful design, easy to play, funny.
We love this game we've been playing it for a bit and it is so so fun also we pigeons. Also this game has great soundtrack and is very challenging also we really like the story and the bosses are really fun.
We love this game, was hooked from the beginning. Has a fun story that makes you invested in the characters. We even like pigeons more now.
Seriously, it's a lot of fun though.
So addictive. We need to master all of the levels to get the highest score. It's a fun and challenging game. Love everything about it.
This is one of our absolute favorite games that have come out this year, and a contender for our Game of the Year pick. We were apprehensive about the idea of tilt controls at first, but they work perfectly here. The short levels make for some intense flying (literally, a pigeon flying an airplane). Aside from the 50 story levels, there is incentive to go back and replay them after upgrading in the hangar. Each level has its own individual leaderboard on Game Center if you enjoy speed-run competition. Pigeon Wings is so well made and just plain fun that we consider it a must own iOS game. It's on our list of Game of the Year picks and will stay on our iPhone indefinitely. As a side note, the developer has posted that an endless mode is in the works, so we're very excited to see what the future holds for this already excellent mobile game.
Awesome graphics and story. Changed our mind on tilt control.
Why would you make a game that doesn't work past a certain level. We paid freaking money for this game. We like the gameplay but we can only play a little bit into the second area. Thanks a lot.
Low frame rate on iPhone 6. Feels like you're playing in slow motion. Game is still fun, just wish it wasn't so laggy. Recent update helped, but gameplay is choppy and speed is inconsistent.
Maybe it's our phone but either the guy goes straight up into the sky or stays on ground we cannot no matter how much we try get it to re calibrate,.
Really fun game with nice graphics. Each level is fairly short so it's a nice game to have while waiting in line to eat or killing some time. It's a little like angry birds crossed with flappy bird but with a better story. Very addictive.
This is a wonderful game, and is very enjoyable, but there is a problem. Every time our plane crashes, the games crashes too. This means that every time we crash we have to close the app and completely restart it. Please fix this! We are in fact listening to music when we play. Does this pose a problem? Excellent! Upped it to a five star.
We've played the game for a fair amount of time and have only come across one minor problem, the controls. Not to say that tilting the screen is bad, just hard to do at times. We find it harder to play while lying down or leaning because how we hold our phone makes it extremely harder to play. Even if we add the modification to increase control its hard to control. It's just harder to play when you tilt your phone to get the best view but you just can't get the one tilt down because you can barely see the screen if you do. It would be nice if we could switch between buttons and tilt so we could enjoy the best of both worlds, but we're not sure if you can implement that kind of thing. Either way we're still playing.
Definitely for someone looking for a real challenge.
Fast paced racing game with a neat design for graphics and unusual story. But the gameplay itself is superior to most games we've played. New challenge every time you think you've gotten the hang of it and none of the pay to win nonsense. Looking forward to seeing more games from this company.
Fast, great graphics & music: addictive.
Super fun game with great graphics,music, and smooooooth controls. Feels like a full game with quick, challenging levels and rad boss fights. Even has upgrades you can earn (not pay for) and customize! Love it.
