PIGEON PRESSED PAUSE 

NOTE: Please play with volume & fullscreen! They are an essential part of the experience.

After finding a talking pigeon with a broken wing and nursing it back to health, you must make the perilous journey to the pet food store to pick up food. However,  you made a grave mistake - you brought the pigeon with you. Even worse, he stole the remote to your cursor and can now pause the game and click buttons.

Navigate across the city as the pigeon makes your mission as difficult and miserable as possible, whether it's pausing the game at the worst time, dragging ads into the middle of the screen, or turning down your frame rate, all the while constantly chattering and annoying you to death.

Welcome to Pigeon Pressed Pause. Welcome to pure rage and misery.

HOW TO PLAY:

-Use the arrow keys / WASD to control the player and move across the city. 

-Occasionally, the pigeon will throw items out of the backpack, effectively setting your checkpoint at the last item thrown. 

-Press SPACE to skip the intro (not recommended for first-time players)

-If you are ever feeling too angry, press X to rid yourself of the pigeon.
