Description
About This Game
Pigeon’s Mission began as a sketchbook dream by Logan, his just 6 years old when he first drew Archie, Crazy Guy, and the rest of this imaginative cast. Now, those hand-drawn ideas have evolved into a rich, 2D pixel platformer filled with heart, humor, and high-flying (well… kind of) action.
Play as Archie Airborne, a grounded pigeon with a big heart, as you wall-jump, dash, and battle your way through dreamy worlds inspired by Logan’s original designs. Along the way, uncover heartfelt story beats, laugh-out-loud boss fights, and dazzling power-ups—all animated in loving, pixel-perfect detail.
🎮 Features
🌀 Skill-Based Gameplay
Built to be fun for kids and rewarding for seasoned platformer fans, every level encourages creative play, quick reactions, and smart use of your power-ups. Discover hidden paths, master tight jumps, and use every tool in your backpack to rise to the challenge.
🎯 Precision Platforming
Archie moves like a dream—snappy, responsive, and intuitive. From satisfying wall slides to combo attacks and midair dashes, you’ll feel in control from moment one. The deeper you play, the more Archie reveals what he’s truly capable of.
🌱 The Harvest Pulse System
At the heart of every encounter is the Harvest Pulse System. Collect Golden Seeds from enemies and the environment to fuel your Weapons and Tools. Each item charges differently and has unique effects—clearing enemies, exploring secret routes, or giving you a vital edge in boss fights. Choose wisely and adapt on the fly!
