Feb. 2026

Despite its undeniable charm and potential fun factor, the game justly received mixed reviews, with many players feeling dissatisfied with the current state or outright disappointed. Unfortunately some very unfavorable decisions were made here and metaphorically speaking, completely plucked the bird. Left bare, stripped of its feathers and rejected, the poor thing now sits right in front of us, opens its beak and sings: "...How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry..." Watching that naked pigeon put on sunglasses and sing Prince during a purple rain almost breaks my heart. Yes, the game is a bit overpriced and the Deluxe Edition with the Pigeon Pass is nothing but poor-quality dry food that gives you gas. And yes, for a self-proclaimed rhythm game there are suspiciously many reaction and memory rounds but the biggest problem though, is that hardly anyone plays the game anymore and a lot of people say it’s basically dead. Some believe that the game should be free to build a real user base. I don’t think that’s strictly necessary but Glee-Cheese and Team17 definitely could have done more with frequent free updates and free DLCs, recurring and moderated online events and by putting the game on deep sales much earlier, like -95%. And that’s the most important point of this recommendation, wait for a sale ($1.99 or 5.99 DE/PP) and then grab a drink of your choice, some good headphones and have some fun with it. Also think about gifting the game to a friend or two, so we can gleefully coo in there as a little flock. Edit (02/07/2026) As of writing this right now, I’d like to invite everyone who owns the game or is interested in it, to a HEADBANGERS WEEKEND where we’ll either play together in numbers again or maybe one last time. This will take place on February 21 and 22. More info will follow in the comment section and on the forum. Maybe we have to take the initiative ourselves, so that this poor naked pigeon doesn’t get run over by a bus, while trying to peck at some breadcrumbs on the side of the road. And seriously, what kind of fool throws stuff like that around? Bread isn't really good for birds at all, what's just wrong with some people? ; )) Edit (02/23/2026) Now after the HEADBANGERS WEEKEND, there are a few additional points that should be mentioned here. 1. The game isn’t dead, even if some people here like to claim that. It’s just the typical situation many multiplayer games go through. At release a lot of people check it out but most of them move on after a short time or go back to their usual multiplayer game. From time to time a few players drop back in and during sales some new ones show up thinking "Whatever, I’ll give it a go now, I can always go back to Call of Duty or Minecraft." So every now and then you’ll find a few players around and that’s simply how it goes. The devs were probably aware of this and didn’t put much more effort into it. 2. On Saturday it took a while until more players showed up. During the first half of the day I mostly played with a friend and a few times a couple of other players joined for a moment, but they didn’t stay for long. Later on it became more active, usually with around 4 to 7 other players in the matches. But the next day it got interesting, because sometimes more than 10 players were around and they weren’t always the exact same people in each tournament. So there was some movement in it and it became so much more fun once more players were around. 3. Organizing something always takes some work and to be honest this was also an experiment. If enough people had shown up, including a willingness to interact, like actually communicating, then we could have considered building a little cozy community, with the idea of trying to hold a HEADBANGERS WEEKEND once a month. So I’ll be moving on as well now, okay I’ll play a few more rounds but then switch over to Jumping Jazz Cats, where things will probably play out in a very similar way. By the way, did anyone notice that we even took some time to make a Guess It! remake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neY31LXT5aA

Headbangers is a game that needs to be revived STAT, the most real players i've had in a lobby over the past year is 4... thats a massive difference to back when it was on the Xbox game pass when you'd get a full lobby in seconds. the game is fun and silly with alot of quirks, the original music is really catchy (looking at you king coo) and the customisation is more than what i'd expect from a rhythm game about pidgeons. even if you're not into rhythm games or dont think you're good at them, Headbangers is for all, sometimes it just takes a bit to get used to

"this game is dead" "nothing but bots" dont give it a thumbs down just bc the servers are emptying out guys, especially when the game itself is really fun....... encourage people to buy the game now that its on sale, maybe we can get some heads banging again!! :steamhappy:

Very fun to play when bored. Unfortunately there isn't much players so you mostly play with bots but either way I find it fun because its something to do and playing against bots doesn't change the fun of the game in my opinion.

April 2025

i honestly only recommend this game because it needs more players , I don't know how the developers managed to make one of the most entertaining game i've ever played and then fumble it , this needs a lot of promotion
