A Short Hike fans may enjoy befriending this pigeon

A little pigeon, huh? And she’s your pal! Well, isn’t that great. Tenstack are a tiny Swedish studio on a mission to make “digestible games so people won’t choke playing them”. They’re currently making a new small game every 3 months, the latest of which is Little Wings Deliveries. It’s under a fiver, under an hour, and is maybe the third or fourth game at this point to have a skateboarding pigeon in. I do not mind. I have a headache. The soothing coos and soothing faceplants of a skateboarding pigeon are just what I need right now.

You play as Skye, a purple pigeon that’s decided to stand out from her scavenging brethren by getting a bloody job, bless her. On her way to the Royal Postal Academy, you’ll visit floating islands, grind, fly, meet weirdo inhabitants, and collect various objects of note. “Embark on a short, playful adventure in your cozy flying boat and sail through fluffy clouds,” reads Steam. “Discover floating islands and befriend their quirky citizens. Jump, roll, climb, and skate through Cloudburg.”

Featuring:

• Around 30 minutes to 1 hour of playtime!

• Sail through the clouds with your flying boat!

• Explore 5 different tiny flying islands!

• Meet a small cast of quirky characters!

• Collect cool items like a skateboard, selfie stick, and more!

I could berate this pigeon for building a wooden sky raft instead of using her perfectly good wings, but this is the kind of avian innovation we should be praising. The more calories the pigeons save, the less disastrous chippy assaults. Nicely done, Skye.
