If you take yourself seriously, avoid this game. But if you want to laugh until your sides hurt while screaming “I GOT YOU, YOU FESTIVE PIGEON!” at a monitor, it’s time to get muddy.

Forget tactical shooters and sweaty ranked ladders. The only skill that matters here is how hard you can fling a pigeon into a muddy window.

But you don’t climb. You defecate your way to the top.

In the crowded landscape of online multiplayer games, Muddy Heights Online stands out like a fresh stain on a white carpet. Developed by the appropriately chaotic minds at , this title doesn’t ask you to be a hero. It asks you to be a pigeon. A grumpy, poop-flinging pigeon fighting for territory in a suburban English neighborhood. What Is Muddy Heights Online? Launched in 2018 as a quirky indie experiment, Muddy Heights Online is best described as a third-person projectile-based platformer . Players control one of several distinctly unpleasant birds (pigeons, seagulls, and the occasional disgruntled crow) with a single objective: claim the highest perch in the garden.

Final tip: Never stand under the hummingbird feeder. Trust us.

Muddy Heights Online knows exactly what it is: a low-budget, high-laugh physics party game about being a gross bird. It doesn’t have a battle pass, microtransactions, or a competitive esports scene. What it has is the pure, unfiltered joy of watching your best friend’s pigeon get absolutely obliterated by a flying glob of mud just as they were about to win.
