Pigeons are the rats of the sky and, according to Dale North, make for pretty good eating. But the day will come when we can no longer oppress the pigeon, when one will rise up and strike back in the only way they know how.
That's the premise behind Wolpertinger Games' latest project for Xbox Live Indie Games, Poopocalypse: A fat pigeon going on a spree of defecation all around the world as punishment for man's mistreatment of the noble bird.
Thank God there's a platform on which people can publish stuff like this. Can you imagine how meaningless your life would be without the existence of such a game?

Just a week or two ago I was reading the big rubric of causes for peer reviewers to auto-reject XBL indie games. I'm pretty sure excrement had its own slot on the list. If that policy has changed, that's fine by me, but if not, Wolpertinger Games may have a hard row to hoe.

I pity the guy from Zombie Cow, they made an awesome (educational) game and it is sad that it cannot be released on XBLIG. We enjoyed the PC version and had a good laugh. XBLIG rules don't allow human feces and "sex stuff". Animal poop on the other hand is allowed.
We hope you guys will enjoy the game once it will be released. I hope it's not a bad move to do some cross-linking here. If you want to stay informed about us and Poopocalypse, come join us with Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wolpertinger-Games/270915538092) or follow our Tweets (http://twitter.com/Wolpertinger_G). More info coming soon!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Poop = A-OKAY!
It's probably human excrement that gets the banhammer.

Hahaha..that is quite funny, coarse but funny.
Coarse? Shit isn't coarse. Cunt, now there's a coarse word.
