This is Billy. Billy loves you.

Note: You may want to play directly on itch.io. Embedded here seems buggy/cropped

Are you better than pigeons?


Did you know? Pigeons are pretty well known for building really awful nests. Well, now you do.

You play Jerry Bassecourt, who thinks he can do better.

Take to the skies and go help Billy, because he really needs it.
Pimp My Nest is a goofy 2D game where you help Billy grab weird city junk and build a nest that matches a Billy's hopes.

How to play

All mouse! Left click will be your only weapon.

You will go over the city to collect ~~garbage~~ things to make Billy a nest. 12 items is the gate to build your masterpiece. Choose wisely ~~as much as one can~~!

Score System

You actually can go to 100%, and to an undefined negative percentage. Don't forget to share you lowest score!

You can also share your best nests, I never did a 100% without cheating!

More Talking

This is our first ludumdare, and it was crazy (in the good way)!
It also was the first real jam for @HoneyPoo

Code by @Damyyr

Post Jam

* We’re still missing one key feature, time management
* More levels, more shape to match
* There is a whole scene missing at the end, all object has a description and score was initially supposed to be based on various factor (time remaining, objects used, etc.)

Maybe come back and try it again when it’s in :)

#### Note
We opted out of sound because our audio attempts were so bad even we couldn’t keep them :)

@happysealgames @lue Thanks for helping Billy, glad you liked it!

Congrats on the 100%, that must have been a cool garbage pile haha

Great visuals and humor included. The finding part was innovative in the way it was used but I was left missing some system preventing me from spamming in the search phase. The actual nest building phase was actually really fun and challenging but 100% was reached!

Nice art an live the Magnifiying glas as a challenge...but you can just shake your mouse side to side and spam click to collect a lot of items. But then there is still the magnificent skill of nest building i got a 95%!

Hahaha, I like the dual game! When finding objects on the roofs, I was trying to scan and click super efficiently, and when building the next I felt like I was at home relaxed, and able to take my time to get all my garbage arranged just so. The art is great and the garbage is nasty lol.

Great job!

I spent a long time trying to fill the space to 100%. This game really drew me in with such simple mechanics! Thank you for your hard work

Thank you all for your feedback! Seeing all your 100% makes me regret we did not go for the star-form pattern, judged "too difficult" in concept phase :o

We're aware of the click-everywhere behaviour in the first phase, having a limited number of item or more complex nest shape would have reduce that, but we went for simplicity since we ran out of time.

@pigeonescu HAHAHA you would not believe for how long I laughed before being able to write this reply

@myheadmess The only 2 things that can be hurt in this game are Billy's feelings and Jerry's ego, so I'd call that a bug :sweat_smile:

Thanks for helping Billy, people !

Such a cool game! I tried building a nest using only straws and toothbrushes, it didn’t go so well but it was really fun :) Great work!!

Damn almost at 100%!! It's definitely one of my favorite games from the ludum dare so far, I had a lot of fun! I was really excited to discover what object I found and then it was really relaxing to arrange them in the nest! Congrats!!

@soleil Ahaha I love those challenges, thanks ! We even got a tester that went full on cristal balls, and it worked out surprisingly well

@snowpriestess Thank you for you kind words :blush:

@ira-baciu It seems that the combination of win11 + Firefox is not a winning one, sorry :( It should work on any browser chromium related, but I recommend using the link to itch.io; that way you won't get the weird cropped version.

10 coos out of 10, too bad I couldn’t find a TV to build into the nest.

The graphic design is nice,but the buttons aren't very visible.And the bird is a bit big.

Absolutely hilarious! Probably the most creative game I've seen for the theme thus far.
GullynGames9 Oct 2025, 02:36
Really funny game, great take on the theme! Great graphics as well. I was unfortunately not able to get past 96%! One small note, sometimes I tried picking up an object to place it and missed, so maybe expand the icon for each item a bit when it's hovered over? Anyway, great job!

I love this game!!! the fill design really adds much fun to it the game play! but the searching process is a little bit hard for me, I tried several times but all failed to fill it. Also the story is a hit, subtly humorous. Good job!

So simple and so fun! The name is what drew me in and I had a great time!

@darthwaxus Yeah we'll definitely add that, thanks for the idea! A TV lift by a pigeon would be hilarious

@jasminej2003 Noted, thanks for your feedback!

@steven-garberg Ohhhh thanks!

@gullyngames Thanks for the feedback, you're totally right, the first part was a bit rush. We think that in a real release (like a mobile game) this part would be replace altogether.

@eugenik @peggy404 Thanks, we're glad you liked it so much!

@britt-and-woofs We hope that gave you 2005's MTV vibe haha
