Pigeon Wings Strike
Endless tilt controlled arcade
Pigeons get a bad rap. But did you know they’re actually the daredevils of the sky? Need proof? The feathery star of Pigeon Wings Strike can speed through the skies with the best of them.
This pigeon doesn’t just rely on their own wings to keep them airborne, though. Oh no. Instead, here your avian aviator is at the controls of a skyline-skimming fighter plane.
You tap to accelerate and tilt the screen to navigate past obstacles, knock out enemies, and avoid missiles. The further you fly, the more points you’ll earn towards bonuses like powerups and new teammates. You can fire back at your cannon-equipped foes, and whether you’re gliding through wide-open cityscapes or claustrophobic caves, the enemies don’t let up. And you’ll need to be unflappable to set a new personal best.
Expect to crash and burn pretty frequently at first, but each mistake is an opportunity for improvement and, as you set high scores that earn rewards, for faster planes. Pigeoned out? Take a turn flying as other characters, such as Cunningham, the hamster with a quick shot. Challenging but fair, Pigeon Wings Strike’s driving soundtrack and charming characters make it perfect for quick play sessions. Fly high and fly fast, little bird.
