60 of 99 · most liked firstGuys did you know theres a Strayan equivalent of Horrible Goose Game? It's called Pie In The Sky, where it is a beautiful day in Australia and you are a fahkin menace of a magpie. It is great fun, I've just unlocked the AFL level & am menacing the supporters of the Adelaide Crows
unlabelledView post →Pie in the Sky released today, I have been looking forward to it for a while!! you play as a magpie, do magpie things, and complete goals across a levels like a tony hawk game but swooping around and bothering the humans instead of skateboarding store.steampowered.com/app/2941360/Pie_in_the_Sky/

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best game I have ever played, and I've played Cory in the House on the Nintendo DS. Crash Bandicoot style music meets Tony Hawks style missions but you are a magpie in iconic Australian locations. What more can I say
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reliving the horror of walking to and from school when I was a child, but from the magpies point of view. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its good to be on the other side of the beak for once. very addictive!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow what a throwback. It's actually so cool to recognise Perth landmarks. I love the aussie themes mixed in. Once I got used to the controls it was pretty smooth. Overall cool casual game with a retro feel. Recommend :)

The game will now be able to reach a much larger audience and achieve the quality of content that the audience deserves. #indiegames #indiegamedev #australia #indiedev #magpie #game
unlabelledView post →Can't wait to recover from RSI, get my Steamdeck (savings: at 48%) and play Pie in the Sky, but we gotta stop calling it "the Australian Untitled Goose Game", Untitled Goose Game IS an Australian game.
unlabelledView post →It is a ripper day in 'straya and you are a fahkin magpie Each run gives you three minutes to be a menace in a variety of ways - ruining beach volleyball, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on a ute, divebombing supporters at an AFL match (carn the crows) ‐ as well as the general missions of collecting items, food for your babies. There is a dedicated button for swooping, which briefly boosts your speed and makes you into a devastating Crows Missile. This game is a delight - the soundtrack, the strayan vibes, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A mostly solid game. If you like older Tony Hawk or Dave Mirra games with an Australian twist you will likely enjoy this. It's got some charm plus being able to ruin an AFL game on one of the levels was great. My main gripes with the game are solely with the controls which need to feel less sluggish (turning takes ages which is uncharicteristic as a bird) and it REALLY needs some sort of aiming dot to show where the magpies head is aiming as you can look like you've lined a swoop up straight…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This itches the ps2 tony hawk underground aus levels which was all I played on repeat as a silly brained child now as a silly brained adult I can itch the same itch again...but now I swoop madlads. P.s Gotta say as a random game I woke up to on steam today this has been a pleasant purchase one I havnt done out of the blue in a while. (Support aussie creatives!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A succulent chinese videogame
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Australian PTSD simulator Seriously though: Bird + Tony Hawk style gameplay feels like an actual stroke of genius
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great slice of Australiana and really fun arcade game. The hidden objectives were fun to find. I had a bug (that no one else seemed to have) that locked me out of an achievement. I sent the dev my save file and they sent a file back to me the same day, which allowed me to get the achievement. Buy this game and support a great dev!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dropped a steamer on a Crows player and swooped a kid on a scooter.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a bit upset that someone threw an apple and banana in the yellow council bin, but the tamtoms at Cottesloe made up for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loving it. This game really makes you feel like you're a magpie.

unlabelledView post →i miss making Doom II pwads and Duke3D maps. i was never amazing at it but i had a ton of fun fuckin around with them in middle school and high school. i had multiple books on the process and really got into it for a bit but then i got the Pie in the Sky 3D game creator and switched to that
unlabelledView post →Got a key for the Titanium Court demo in an ARG thing, and also have another Aussie made game called Pie in the Sky! come out to see weird game theater - Australia edition! (both games look banger) twitch.tv/thegreatgildersneeze
unlabelledView post →Damn this game brings me joy. It's janky, pretty simple, and the controls aren't great, but all of those things are why I love it so much. This is art, made by a single, wonderful human being. That means you get stupid puns about crows vs pies, endless innuendos, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on hipsters. What more could I ask for? Yeah, some of the goals are a tiny bit obnoxious (mostly the ones to do with sending balls into narrow goals), but I honestly wouldn't change any of it. It's a throwback to Tony…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally a game where you can play out the ultimate power fantasy of being a magpie on a rampage! It's like an Aussie Pilotwings meets Tony Hawk, only with way more head on colisions and stealth bombing. Fun and nostalgic, definitely worth a look.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun game! Really cool style that reminds me of the old Tony Hawk games, fun arcady mechanics and its very funny! Its nice to be to be the one swooping for a change, getting to watch people be knocked over in slow motions never gets old.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pie in the Sky é um #indiegame do @monstershopgames.bsky.social com aquela pegada estilo Goat Simulator, e visual que remete aos games de PS2.
unlabelledView post →Stupidly funny. Highly recommend playing with a controller. Proud to have another banger game come from Australia
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is very fun. Controls are easy enough but take skill to master. There is plenty to do, especially for completionists.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a fun little romp of a tony hawk 'skate' style game with a very fun and cute aussie theme! <3 Recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bloody ripper of a game - awesome little references for the aussies!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so beautifully designed, so much nostalga. Swooping at people is so satisfying, I love it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Based on true events
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun nostalgia kick with a twist! Giving the old tony hawk pro skater vibes while getting to pursue everyones dream of causing chaos as a magpie !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Christmas in Gaming: Built to showcase a "create your own 3d game" software by PIE IN THE SKY. I spent longer than ill admit trying to find the name of this game. 3D Xmas Adventure (1996)[DOS]
unlabelledView post →It is an acquired taste, mostly because the controls are challenging in the absence of reliable lock on on objects. Or maybe it is because I used the Retro Mode. Who knows. I probably will get used to it just like I got used to Braking in air to aim at things better and get the floating collectables. The game seems to be stylized as the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games with the combo point system (that seems to combo anything together, from eating a banana to grabbing a collectable). The whole…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beloved show to people of a certain age is Whew! The format was brought back in pilot form, with elements of an immensely popular board game of the era. With a combination of knowledge, luck, and guts, someone could win the Pie in the Sky. itwasathingontv.podbean.com/e/episode-62...
unlabelledView post →I would like to recommend Tony Magpies Pro Swoooer, aka Pie In The Sky. It's like Tony Hawk Underground had a baby with the Horrible Goose Game
unlabelledView post →This game was a gift from a friend who expected me to play about an hour of the game, instead I got hooked and played it untill I 100% it. 9/10 I'm glad the game was flipped so non-aussie folk can play it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! Classic Tony Hawk style objectives with an Aussie twist.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A scarily accurate depiction of life in Australia, 10/10 give this guy dollarydoos
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a great time. definitely janky in a good way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am bird. Meat pie good mate. Lets swoop the mungbean cyclists. It was a good day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Saw this at a convention and regretted not giving it a go, it's satisfying to cruise around collecting things. I don't think I've seen many games that are set in Aus, so it's especially cool to cause chaos in a style of suburbia I recognise (even outside of the places I literally recognise!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing work to the developer on this! Not only is the gameplay easy to pick up, it then takes a bit of craft to try to master it which I'll keep working on. The flying motion is great as well as the all the mini games within the bigger game itself. In addition, the Australian culture and way of life really is at the forefront, bringing a level of nostalgia when playing the game too. 10/10 would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the perfect combination of nostalgia and hillarious. Growing up in Australia, Tony Hawk Pro Skater and swooping magpies are both core memories for me. Putting them together is insane and ridiculous in the best possible way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PIE IN THE SKY is here and now players around the world can discover the every day life of being an australian magpie. For those who don't know, This song bird is basically part aussie meme, part campfire horror story and along with it's unmistakeable R2-D2 call , it's more imfamous for its aggressive behaviour of swooping people who walk past their nests, particually more frequent around spring time. Now... its your turn to experience this. You will play as a Magpie who basically flies…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing. I've always wanted to go on a power trip as the black and white ruling class of down under. Now I can do it in a satisfying combo of swoops, poops and eating an ungodly amount of food for one bird, then be told it scored me 127,000 points in a big flash of nostalgic text. This game has clearly taken a big hit of inspiration from the original Tony Hawk's games, and it's genuinely really fun to play. The graphics and sound effects take you back to the early 2000s, and it's impossible…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This really is bird game 4 🤩🤩🤩
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome throwback to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with a aerial Aussie spin! Big fan of the humour and references too. Can definitely recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm having great fun with this! So many secrets to find and people to swoop. Once you get more skilled with the flying and swooping mechanics it feels so good to get large combos.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very elevated take on THPS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying becoming The Magpie! Game runs really well. It is clear that a lot of love has gone into it. Flying around the levels feels nice and there is plenty to explore in each level. Love that I can customise my magpie with some cute accessories. Big thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the game! Brings back nostalgia as a kid, getting swooped by mag pies while riding to school. Very keen to see this game become successful!
