Command a Flock of Pigeons
In Pidgeon Pocket, your goal is to command pigeons to steal from distracted guests in a park while avoiding getting caught. In this incremental game, stealing money is how you raise and improve your flock of pigeons to become master thieves. Upgrade your skill tree, hatch eggs, and unlock new birds with different, unique abilities.
You start with a single winged thief and must click on guests so the bird can steal their money. As soon as you start stealing, police officers begin patrolling the park, and you need to be very careful not to get caught. Each run has a time limit; if you are caught or time runs out, the run ends.
The money you collect each run adds up, and you can spend it on upgrading your skill tree, which unlocks new perks and increases your stats. You can increase bird speed, extend the time limit, unlock bomb pigeons, and more. Money also counts toward increasing your level, and at each new level you earn a new egg.
Hatch an egg to find a new bird with a unique ability or to level up a bird you already have. The strategy lies in choosing the right bird to maximize profit and carefully calculating your theft locations—considering how long a bird will take to reach the target and the police’s position to avoid being captured.
The Core Gameplay
Runs in Pidgeon Pocket are fast-paced, funny, chaotic, and strategically challenging. At first, you may have up to five birds with different abilities ready to steal. Knowing what each pigeon does and which bird will take flight next is a great start for building a strategy and maximizing profits. But you won’t always have that much time to think.
The game has five moods for the park, and some present more challenges than others—like the black-and-white one, which makes identifying the police a bit harder. Sometimes special guests with loads of money in their pockets will wander around, so stay alert and steal from them as soon as you see them.
You should also pay attention to your combo multiplier: each successful theft in a sequence increases the combo by one, but if you miss a target or get caught, the combo resets. Higher combos generate more money and more experience points for hatching new eggs. Perfect thefts also grant extra cash for your birds.
Final Thoughts
Pidgeon Pocket may look a bit repetitive, but the smooth progression, new birds, and variety of scenarios make it fun and exciting. The runs are fast and chaotic, and even though you may plan a strategy ahead, you probably won’t be able to follow it amid the chaos. You have many options for how to build your flock and which birds to choose, so there’s lots to explore.
It may get a bit repetitive after a few hours, but definitely not as much as expected. This title will be released in early access, but it’s already a complete game to play. The developers are constantly updating the game and adding interesting new features and things to do in the park. For those who like incremental casual games, Pidgeon Pocket is definitely one to keep an eye on.
