Pru the Pigeon Reviews

Pru!

Pretty short, but has fun movement. Takes like an hour or so to 100%

A fun family-friendly game with smooth movement, pidgeons and hotdogs.

If the movement system in your platformer isn't as nuanced, fluid, and inherently enjoyable as Pru the Pigeon... Give up on that game and go home. This is as applicable to players as it is to other developers, whether you're building a game or enjoying it. To quote Jeff Bridges: "Tony Stark built this in a cave! With a box of scraps!" Likewise "Kuri built this in a $3 budget envelope! With boxes and sprites!" This is a very impressive achievement for a solo dev, and one that many much larger studios objectively fail to accomplish.

A very fun retro style 3D platformer, this game is rather short but enjoyable and definitely worth your money if you enjoy that kind of gameplay. While it is harder than the dev's other work, Gwen the Hen 64, it is still easy enough to not be frustrating while still having a few challenging levels that will get your blood pumping.

This was a fun game! Not as good as Gwen The Hen imo but still a very good platformer that deserves more attention!

Pru the pigeon is a small but well-crafted 3D platformer in the spirit of "New" Mario games -- run through levels collecting feathers and hotdogs while avoiding danger until you reach the end. The game's Paper Mario-style characters are cutesy, the audio is quite good (some of the musical tracks are genuinely enjoyable), the controls are tight, the level designs are solid and the pacing is excellent. The game only has two downsides: first, the post-game is somewhat tedious and not as rewarding as one might hope (any further information would be a spoiler). Second, the mix of 2d and 3d causes depth issues, making it occasionally difficult to avoid ghosts or land on tight-ropes. Other than these minor quibbles, the game does everything it sets out to, and for $2 fans of the genre will get their money's-worth and then some.
