About This Game

Prepare for an electrifying experience in CyberPigeon, a dual-stick shooter set within a dynamic battle arena. Take control of CyberPigeon, the ultimate cybernetic avian warrior, as you engage in intense battles against swarming drones and formidable bosses. Adapt to the ever-changing environment, collect power-ups and weapons, and rise to the top of the leaderboard in this thrilling aerial showdown.


CyberPigeon plays similar to any other dual stick shooter game. Using a gamepad, CyberPigeon is moved with the 'Left Stick,' and aims with the 'Right Stick.' Holding the 'Right Trigger' to fire. With a Mouse and Keyboard, CyberPigeon is moved with the W, A, S and D keys, along with aiming and firing with the mouse. "CyberPigeon" is a score-attack based game. The goal is to get as high of a score as possible, and have fun!​

Stomp - While holding ‘Down,’ CyberPigeon will enter Stomp-Mode. It’s a quick way to damage/destroy enemies when surrounded.
Overcharge - CyberPigeon's shield will overcharge when in contact with a shield tile with less than full HP or when exiting the shop. CyberPigeon will be temporarily invincible as it destroys anything around it.

Stray Skies is the tentative name for this arena. The arena’s walls will collapse and re-generate with each level upgrade. Enemies and boss battles will progressively become more challenging, you’ll even see new types of enemies appear in later levels.​


The shop will open occasionally throughout the run. You'll see an icon plus an arrow pointing to it. The Shop is located off screen to the right and center. You'll see three random items that you don't have in your possession available for purchase. Each item box has 10 HP, destroy to collect the item - assuming you have enough coins for it. Otherwise, your attacks will just bounce off. Also, please don't upset Max, I don't want to tell you what happens if you do.​


Note: CyberPigeon is still in active development and is being released as Early Access. A lot of things have been changing over the last few months as I attempt to balance and add more objects and events into the game. I've tried to make this as bug-free as possible, but I'm still finding and fixing as many as I can. As this is the first demo I'm releasing to the public, I'd love to hear thoughts, opinions and general feedback on the game. Release date is unknown at this stage. Please remember this is a very early preview of the game, graphics and objects are subject to change.
