Robot pigeons have invaded! You, a real pigeon, are sent to fight them. Luckily, you have a superpower: your ghosts fight alongside you, and with every death, your army of pigeon ghosts grows.

NOTE: You can also use the arrow keys to move instead of A and D! It'll make controls much easier.

Note: The game is currently 20MB. Once the purple loading bar reaches the end, the game may take an additional ~5 seconds to load, depending on your internet speed!

How to play

Robopigeon is a fast-action run-n-gun platformer.  Your mission is to destroy all robopigeons! After three rounds of robopigeons, you'll face off against the robopigeon boss. Defeat the boss to uncover a deep dark secret.

• Use AD or the left-right arrow keys to move left and right.
• Use space to jump. Hold space to jump higher.
• Press x to shoot.
• You can optionally use the WS or up-down arrow keys to aim up or down. In combination with AD or left-right arrow keys, you can aim diagonally as well.

Theme: Conspiracy Theory

Expand the detail block below to see specifically how the end reveal addresses the theme; there are spoilers, so you've been warned!

The final boss battle reveals that you yourself, the "real pigeon", are also a robot! In fact, the robopigeon boss is your father. This leads to questions about your allegiances as a pigeon -- and in this way, we introduce the seed of an idea that pigeons may not as innocent as they seem, a spy drone for an invading alien force of robot pigeons.
