I had a good time with the game briefly but its gameplay really doesn’t have legs. The problem is that your only reward is cosmetics and frankly the costumes just don’t look that cool to make me want to earn them. The gameplay fundamentally just isn’t that varied though, leading quickly to irritation and boredom. Most of the time the minigames are variations of simon says, which aren’t that fun. The final rounds are usually the most novel gameplay-wise, with rockband-like rhythm minigames that are challenging.

I think the fundamental flaw is that the minigames are too similar and don’t allow very much interaction. The pigeons stand in one place and you follow button prompts. You can dance, but rarely anyone does. There’s no interaction between you and your fellow pigeons. I wish at the end of rounds you could send emotes to your opponents or if there was a simple chat box to say “gg” or something. It just feels sad when you’re playing with other humans and there is no communication. Just mindlessly following button prompts. Get in, get out.

That’s a big problem with multiplayer games in general for me. Everyone feels faceless. There’s no room for conversation or interaction. I miss the days where you could find transient friends in your teammates. Yes, that opened up the pandora’s box which easily led to the chat being filled with racist/sexist comments, but the alternative is emotionless and routine.

I do like some of the music of the game, but it quickly becomes repetitive like everything else.
