Five Full-Scale Cities and Procedural Maps
The game utilizes real-world map data to build full-scale digital recreations of London, Paris, Amsterdam, Tokyo, and New York. Powered by what the studio calls PIGEON-SIM TECH, millions of individual birds populate these maps, each acting independently while players explore rooftops and landmarks.
Players can utilize a feature called “Speak to Coo,” which lets them use a real microphone to call out for their match. Alongside single-player exploration, the release includes two multiplayer co-op modes—affectionately dubbed "coo-op"—allowing two players to search the city together or split up and attempt to find each other.
Linux and Steam Deck Support
The Linux release is entirely native, providing direct compatibility for Steam Deck users without requiring Proton layers. Finishing the main game also unlocks a procedurally generated metropolis that builds a brand-new city layout dynamically.
An ambient soundtrack composed by Madwreck accompanies the flight mechanics, alongside wide language support spanning English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. The launch coincides with the Yogscast-backed Tiny Teams Steam festival, running from August 6th through August 13th.
