Hi, I enabled the fullscreen option here on itch, just click the icon on the bottom left. I'll look into fullscreen for the downloadable versionn in a next version.
I bought the game on steam but reading here I am shocked to find out it was not published by the original creator. I enjoyed the game a lot and think its great! But I don't want my money to go to the wrong place. Anyway to give you money?
And can I tell my indie dev friends about this? (i presume a publisher went and created a steam page with out your consent which means there is a way to pass through valve)
Hey there! Glad you enjoyed the game, means a lot to me!
Thanks a lot for the interest, but right now I think paying for the game through itch.io is the only way to support us. That said, right now I don't think the game really has enough content to justify a price tag, so feel free to keep playing for free every now and then.
One day we do hope to release a commercial version though! Just not sure how long it will take haha
Also, feel free to tell your gamedev friends what happened. What you presumed is correct. Here are things that helped me a ton, I hope you don't mind me listing them:
If you have open source games, be mindful of their license. Using GPL is a good idea IMO, since Steam explicitly does not recommend it. You'll still be the owner of the project, so you'll be able to publish it on Steam, but other people won't. Also, of course, I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on this 🙃
Every now and then look from where your game views are coming from. For Pigeon Ascent, I saw an unusual spike coming from twitter. This helped me find a tweet talking about the game, which lead me to check Steam.db for more information, and then I figured out what was going on.
Finally, submitting a DMCA report to Steam seems to work pretty well. Just follow their guidelines and soon enough they should take the game out.
Thanks again for playing! If I can answer anything else, feel free to ask
Actually no! I was looking at the analytics for the game and noticed a spike coming from Twitter. I found the tweet, and it was talking about the game being published on Steam, but we were not contacted or anything like that.
Since it caught us off-guard and, IMO, the game currently does not have enough content to justify having a price tag, we decided to ask Steam to remove it, which they did.
Love the game, but I have a glitch to report! if both pigeons run below zero on food before either one wins, the game will keep running the food bars but nothing will happen , the game will be stuck. This was on the in'browser version.
Pretty cool game! Almost won with defense pigeon, did with speed, then with balanced. I didn't realize there were more items in the shop ha, I was wondering why I had so much money. Will probably mess around with it more to find some of the other evolutions.

Why is the Steam store page missing?
The people that put it on steam did not have the developers permission.
just spamming defense make you friggin invincible
ITS SO GOOD BUT SHORTTTTTT
hello. pls i want to buy 1 steam key for myself, how can i contact you? thanx!
Hi! I'm sorry, but we weren't the ones that published the game on steam, and because of that we can't generate any keys for it.
Did they publish with your approval?
Actually no! I was looking at the analytics for the game and noticed a spike coming from Twitter. I found the tweet, and it was talking about the game being published on Steam, but we were not contacted or anything like that.

Not bad. very well done. fun to play as well
I have been here for 30 min just talkin with pigod
Indeed the video gaming experience is that of a gem among a cesspool of dating simulators and degenerate fan service games.
Not bad.
Wow this game is actually really addictive
Hey, thank you! Fyi, we will be releasing some updates pretty soon :)
Great can't wait to see what you've done
