Nice art style and good gameplay! I assume your maps are procedurally-generated, which is cool for varied gameplay. Good concept!

For the open source category, you'll need to have a README file and License file.
Loving the full window mode right off the bat. There's a massive egg shortage where I am right now, so this is super topical and timely. Very funny. Chicken sounds are great, the game is super trippy. Creative and interesting art-style, and I like that you can use both keyboard and mouse to navigate. I got very stuck in terms of where to go... maybe starting a little simpler with the navigation would help. I kept seeing the chicken, but wasn't sure where to go, even though I followed it I kept ending up back where I started.
The game sounds are great, and I didn't even notice it was missing music, so it speaks volumes of your immersive game style and use of sound.
Thanks for pointing it out! I just added the README and the license file :)
Also, thank you for playing; I'm glad you enjoyed your time. Frustration for getting lost is a common concern and this seems another case where I should have caved-in to the obvious and add some navigation help... maybe at least a compass if not a minimap.
Wow, what an innovative entry. I really liked the art and the fighting mechanic! Here are a few inputs which might improve the game:
- How do you start the game? Either I am stupid, but I just clicked around to start it.
- Some music would be nice!
- The egg is sometimes hidden behind a text box. Maybe place it somewhere else
- I quite often got lost... Maybe I am just not a talent in these games (or watched too much television to destroy my imagination), but orientation is quite difficult. Maybe a mini map would have helped. It would then show the areas (from top down) you already discovered. However, I am not sure if this would then take away part of the challange.
Anyway, this is a very cool entry and I really enjoyed playing this. Good luck for your other jam!

ApopcalypsePretty nice game!
Seems like a lots of work is gone into making this a ball pen style.
I feel it will help to distinguish the walls as it's slightly disorienting. Also adding some sort of compass or wayfinder might help.
Some rooms have messages that were difficult to interpret. Teleporting rooms?
Excellent game and would sell well once completed!
Cheers from Canada!

President's red cap (open source)Really cool asthetic. I did find myself getting a little disorientated in the maze but overall fun times!

Might Of the BumbleBeeGreat art direction — the hand-drawn style and two-color choice are impressive and bring a lot of authenticity. The movement mechanics enhance the sense of volume and immersion in the environment, but navigation is sometimes confusing due to the minimal design choices; some visual cues on walls or a minimap would help.
Great job!

RiverboundI absolutely LOVE this artstyle. Its just like playing D&D in school during lunchbreak: ballpoint pen on paper. Great.
Also very cool gameplay-mechanics
