About the game
Snatched off of city streets, you wake up to a strange figure making you play a game. Now, you must survive for as long as you can in this audio-based minigame to find out who captured you, and why?
Pigeon Coo-lette is a part-puzzle-part-rhythm game developed by Northeastern University students. It focuses on the simple mechanic of following a pattern of bullets and blanks as they are loaded into a gun and then repeating them, while also demonstrating a bright art style and an intriguing, yet silly story.
Playtime
With mounting difficulty as the game goes on, the playtime can vary greatly from player to player. However, the estimated playtime is approximately 20 mins. The pigeon has some patience, but do you?
Art
Pigeon Coo-lette was given one limitation with art: we could almost entirely use only one color. We were allowed limited use of its complementary color, which we highlighted the bullets and the pigeon’s eyes with. Aside from that, we were tasked with creating a monotone game, with the only variation being the value of the color we chose.
Controls
Space skips dialogue
A/Left Click shoots the gun
D/Right Click spins the gun’s cylinder (skipping a bullet)
Esc pauses
Your objective is to shoot every blank and skip every actual bullet in the revolver’s cylinder, six in total for each round. Shooting an actual bullet would obviously lead to your death, but skipping a blank will lead to the pigeon shooting you himself. As such, getting the order correct is crucial to your survival.
Accessibility
The volume of the background noise and the SFX are adjustable from the pause menu.
