The year is 1925. Alcohol is banned. Every day, government agents hunt down hidden stashes of liquor to toss out the window.

You are a messenger pigeon. The last of your kind. You love to sneak around outside, catching the free, defenestrated drinks before they shatter. Drinking gives you the will to fly.

One day, your friend Beakles brings you a special message that she says will lift the ban. You're the only pigeon to deliver it. But you can't do it sober.

Fly through this bullet hell 2D side-scroller game as an alcoholic pigeon—catch drinks, dodge hawks, and bop along with old-timey, original jazz tunes.

This game was created in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 53: Delivery. All graphics, music, and SFX, were produced within this sleepless period. Please leave a comment and enjoy your flight!
