PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Pigeon Potente
A quick casual action RPG in which you're a pirate pigeon! Fight to survive a series of increasingly difficult battles using tools such as band-aids, crazy pistols and a swarm of hungry pigeons.
Theme---------------------------------------------------------
We approached the theme in two different ways:
1 - The way you command the character is a quite unusual weapon for a RPG game, being that you have only one button and you charge before using the skills.
2 - The kind of hero and powers you have, such as throwing popcorn on your enemies in order to summon an army of killer pigeons.
Commands------------------------------------------------------
Quick tap spacebar or click to use the basic attack.
Hold to charge the skill bar to use skills.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kill 15 enemies to unlock the level up at the end of the skill bar.
Beware, they're leveling up too!

Great graphics and sound. Super fun for a one button game
Very good entry, feels like some of the randomness does detract from the strategy of fighting later enemies (no bandaids coming through when needing them, etc) but the game has some seriously slick presentation and graphics, definitely a rocking game indeed!
lol, really fun game!
the mechanics and the graphics are great!
well done buddies
I like the game quite a lot, probably because I spent a lot of time trying to get a perfect rhythm going on the space bar! It gets too easy after a few levels though, and later on I can one shot everything with a simple tap. I stopped at monster level 101 (player level ~30), with no end in sight.
Too little going on in the gameplay department for my taste, but it's a very solidly made game. Excellent art and sound.
A bit silly, but addictive. Surely mobile players will like stuff like this)
Very impressive art and music. Liked the unusual single-button control interface - took me a minute to understand the way the skills are triggered.
This was a lot of fun! I liked how simple the controls were and yet still kind of challenging. Oh and the fast-paced game play.
I would buy this to play on my iphone.
I'll be honest, I didn't expect this game to be so much fun from the screenshots. It was, though! The graphics are great, the game mechanic itself is great, it was fun to see what a new attack did. Well done!
Addictive casual game haha Really polished! The art is awesome! Good job guys :D
The simplicity is a plus, the simplicity is a minus. I like the amalgamation of ideas that you've thrown into so much simplicity, too, though added together a few problems emerge:
The first attack is great if you spam it, and because you can spam it it becomes a "how fast can you click" game on a mouse... as this was meant to be a touch game (I presume), there is no way someone could tap their screen as fast as they could click the mouse (I'm really really fast at clicking. No jokes), and that creates a balance problem.
Level 2 attack is a good go-to too when you're tired from clicking. Three and four are situational. But then I find that the best thing to do is to cycle 3 and 4 until you get a heal when you can, and then keep using 2 until you need to heal, hopefully you remember in time and you heal and go back to spamming 1 or 2, depending on how tired you are of speed-clicking.
If you don't have heals when you need one, you're screwed. If your finger gets tired you're screwed.
It's a fun little idea and the juice is super good, but I think it needs more balance in this simplicity :)
I really enjoyed this game! The ridiculousness of the art made me intrigued enough to try it out and I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice, simple, compelling game mechanic within.
Nice game mechanics and very simple. I had a lot of fun playing it.
I just tought very difficult to level up my character, but maybe it is just me getting the right timing to level him up. Nice work overall
Art is very good and the chars are very charismatic, the gameplay is simple but very effective, nice job!
Great entry. Art and sound is awesome and the mechanic was interesting enough to keep me playing several rounds.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
I really liked the simplicity of the mechanic. I found it grabbed me an I enjoyed it! Good job!
