Browsing through a list of iOS games released today, one game stood out from the crowd due to the nature of the game itself. That game is Pigeon Squadron by Oberon Media and I-Play. The objective of Pigeon Squadron is to poop on stuff – plain and simple. Yes, you read that right. Poop.
As a member of the pigeon squadron, it is your job to “bomb” humans, pets, and vehicles with your “craptastic” weapons of mass “revulsion” and help push back the advancing horde of humans.
The description itself should make anyone curious about this game. The trailer for Pigeon Squadron only seals the deal. It basically made to look like war propaganda where they are trying to enlist service members. In this case, pigeons with a knack for pooping. The trailer in fact reminds me so much of Starship Troopers and all the fake propaganda ads they had in the movie.
You play as one of four different pigeons, each with their own special pooping abilities. The game itself is fairly easy to control as all you do is tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch in the direction you want to fly and tap the screen to poop on a target. That’s it. Simple.
Features
- Join an elite team of paramilitary pilot pigeons prepared to relieve themselves at will in order to bring humans to their knees! Play as Philby, Burgess, Maclean and Blunt – each one with his own pooping prowess.
- Complete 45 missions where you get to drop your ‘payback payload’ on businessmen, hippies, beach bums, golfers, grandmas, tourists, ducks, school buses and more! Hit the moving targets and survive against the human objects thrown at you.
- WEAPONS OF MASS REVULSION
- Wreak havoc in three beautiful cities reminiscent of New York, London and Paris – each with unique targets to hit and specific missions to complete.
- TILT TO FLY, TAP TO POOP
- YOUR OWN PLAYLIST
- You can access your iPod/iPhone Music Library to play your own music while playing.
Press Release
NEW YORK & LONDON – September 9, 2010 -After centuries of being shooed, chased and abused as ‘flying rats,’ the revenge of the pigeon is upon us. It has been confirmed by Government scientists today that the recent wave of airborne attacks worldwide is linked with the Pigeon Squadron’s all-out assault on the human race.
To publicize the threat to our very existence by this feathered menace, I-play, Oberon Media’s publishing division and the world’s leading multi-platform casual games publisher, today announced that Pigeon Squadron has officially launched on the iPhoneTM and iPod®
“For too long we have been subjected to children throwing stones, park wardens chasing us with their brooms, and the elderly feeding us stale bread. The time has come to take a stand… even though I only have one foot…” said the enigmatic Pigeon Squadron leader, known only as “The General”.
Pigeon Squadron introduces an original air attack campaign the likes of which have never been seen before. The members of Pigeon Squadron are taking to the skies and waging a military campaign of global proportions. To ensure ultimate victory against the human race, the vengeance-crazed birds have brought to the battle homemade “weapons of mass revulsion” that only they can create – pigeon poop.
In the game, the pigeons attack various cities around the world and attempt to create chaos by bombing pedestrians, pets and vehicles, all while trying to dodge objects thrown at them and complete missions assigned by the leader of the squadron. With 45 different missions to complete, squadron members are assigned one of four elite paramilitary pilot pigeons ready to relieve themselves at will.
Featuring simple motion and touchscreen controls – tilt to fly and tap to poop – Pigeon Squadron is an easy game for soldiers of all ages to pick up and play. Launching the attack over cities reminiscent of New York, London and Paris, each location introduces unique targets to hit and new ways to collect power-ups, earn awards and score bonus points to unlock new characters and cities. Additionally, Pigeon Squadron’s iPod Library support allows members of the squadron to create their own soundtracks!
Also keep an eye out for Operation FacePoop, launching on Facebook shortly after the Pigeon Squadron takes flight on iPhone.
