Pigeon Hunter

[H1]Pigeons beware: your time has come. BBQ edition 🔥[/H1] Ever dreamed of becoming an exterminator? Or just letting your inner pyromaniac loose? Well, here you go. You’re sent to hunt pigeons, snails, moths, and ladybugs across 4 backgrounds reused over 16 levels. It’s very straightforward, a bit rough around the edges, but honestly? It does the job, especially for how cheap it is. There’s a nice variety with 4 creature types and 5 variants each to find, and the hand-drawn sketch style gives everything a unique look while also making things harder to spot. I also... kind of love how the creatures burn up when you find them (hello police? yes, here, I am the menace). Add good zoom, simple mouse controls, clear achievements (with only a few easy extras), and basic QoL like sound sliders, fullscreen, and resolution options, and it’s a smooth little hunt overall. That said, there’s no hint system at all, and no save system either: quit a level and your progress is all gone. You also can’t skip levels, so you’re stuck finishing one to unlock the next. The biggest issue for me is the repetition: backgrounds are reused (fine), but placements are reused too, which really takes away from the hidden object aspect. There are also small annoyances like the unlock animation replaying even when a level is already open, and the need to replay levels just to finish certain achievements. It’s also worth noting there’s no brightness option, which would’ve helped a lot given the black-and-white visuals. Still, even with those quirks, this is a style I hadn’t really seen before, and it stands out because of it. If you’re a hidden object fan looking for something a bit different and don’t mind a few rough spots, this one can be a fun little detour.

Simple and fun. Lots of content compared to oter HOs at the same price point. There is some repetition, but that just makes for more content (4 maps * 4 animals = 16 expereinces + a replay for the 240 achievements). At first I had a small issue with the ladybugs not unlocking, but I replayed a few ot the prevoius maps and it did - don't know what the criterium is. Solid 8/10

I wrote a very positive review but Steam ate it ... Perhaps I'll write one again later, but in short: Great game, very lovely piano recital background music, cool monochrome sketched pictures. No hint button, not hard to find creatures. Good price, just buy it. Have fun!

I feel kind of bad giving it a bad review, though I think I'll go with 4/10. It's the same four drawings over and over with different creatures. The drawings are black and white and in pencil and I find that the animals are really obvious in contrast to the drawing. What I disliked was the fact that there was no hint system at all (I know I just said it was easy, but every hidden object game should have a hint system). As well, the achievements have stuff like opening the settings and pressing their eternal links, which I was shocked to see because I've never seen that in a game before. I don't want to be forced to press eternal links as an achievement hunter. The scrolling on the main page was also really slow. Finished? Yes Steam Achievements? Easy Steam Deck? Not tried. Rating? 4/10 My curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45865425-CozyAriGames/ Full videos on Youtube

"Pigeon" in French means someone who has been scammed. That might well be how you feel after buying this game! The hand-draw pictures are very well done, but they are in low resolution so they look blurry when the game is zoomed in (which is needed for finding all the animals). What’s more, the same four backgrounds are reused across the 16 levels. The same goes for the four sets of animals (pigeons, snails, moths, ladybirds). The game has no hints, which wouldn’t be a problem if you could move from one level to the next and returning later to find the last missing elements. But no, the game forces you to finish the level to unlock the next one. Even though the game is not too difficult, this remains a nuisance that could easily have been avoided. The programming lacks polish: I experienced slowdowns and freezes because I was clicking too quickly on the objects to find. As if that weren’t enough, to extend the game’s lifespan you’ll also have to replay exactly the same levels to unlock all the achievements (one for each animal), and even then, it’ll take you less than an hour. In short, some free games offer more content, with better quality of life and better programmed!

Very nice hidden object game. Hidden pigeons and others. Beautiful hand-painted models, calm atmosphere, nice music. Costs almost nothing. Strongly recommended :)

Solid hidden object game with many levels and hand-drawn artwork!

The definition of a hidden gem. The hand drawn illustrations are flush with details, and you can even clearly see each individual pencilstroke. It's a short, but rather unique hidden object game that I can easily see myself returning to for the artwork alone.

Right around an hour, maybe a bit longer. Well worth the price, in my opinion. The lack of hints made it hard enough to be a real challenge instead of cheezing the last little bit. Bought it on sale, but I could see paying full price if it had a few more levels. The drawings are great, too.
