nice and fun game , enjoyed playing it.
Have a look for my game :).
Great game, I love the game idea, but it will be better to do a simple forest map.
Great and fun Game. Fantastic Work👍
nice arcade style game, overall i enjoyed it. So many chickens died haha
It's fun and enjoyable, but I changed the gameplay a bit. From collecting eggs to chasing chickens, it's fun.
Good job with the game. I was confused at fist when I found chickens running into me and exploding. Haha. It was an enjoyable game and I liked collecting the eggs while they were still in the green. Keep up the good work!
This was really engaging! At first it was hard not to accidentally run over the chicken but I got the hang of it a got over 100 eggs!
Ahh I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
Lot's of fun, I kept killing the chickens as they ran for me every time the dog barked. But it's fun to collect the eggs and see the crazy high scores of other players!
ahh I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out!
fun arcade style game! amazing work! :D
It's neat, I may have payed a bit aggressively, I got a laugh out of it.
HAHA I’m glad it made you laugh. That’s exactly what I was going for. Thanks for checking it out!
Strangely soothing game! Great controls—I really enjoyed running around with all those chickens. The music feels a bit off, yet somehow fitting at the same time. Definitely going to give it a few more tries. Great work!
Thanks for checking it out, I’m glad you like it!
Pro tip: the music loop changes each time you reload the game. So if you don’t vibe with the track that’s playing, hit your browser refresh button. ;-)
Well, now we have even more reasons to keep playing!
I like the game loop :D and i did chase the chickens too it was a lot of fun
Haha, I also killed the chicken - should have read the instructions first. Had fun really chasing them.
Glad you had fun! =)
At first mistook the stones for the eggs) Would love to chase some more chickens! Very satisfying!
Yah I’ve had a few people say the same thing. I’ll darken them up once the jam ends. Thanks for playing!
Loved the leaderboard, hilarous. I tried to talk my team into a leaderboard for our game but I don't think we could figure out a way for it to work with our game. Excellent work! I felt pretty bad for exploding chickens but not enough to stop doing it. Congrats!
Glad you had fun! Thanks for checking it out!
Cool game. Really nice touch that we can enter a name for the dog.
Thanks for checking it out!
I really liked being able to name my dog.
Scaring the chickens was great fun, I was surprised when I killed my first one, I ended up killing too many and scored 125.
The leaderboard was a nice touch, I doubt I can score 400+ to be the top dog though!
The secret to get a higher score is to hit the “Continue” button once the game ends. It starts the game over again and adds to your current score. I think it took me 3 or 4 rounds to get that score.
I don’t think I made that clear enough that the game isn’t over after the first round.
haha nice! so I just need to keep playing to become top dog!
Yep! The more you score in a round, the more chickens spawn next in the next round so it keeps going but naturally tapers off each round till it’s over-over. It would be “technically” possible to keep going indefinitely, but you’d have to grab a ton of eggs on each round.
Good job. It was like 2 games in one. Find the egg and get the chicken! haha
That was fun. A lot of chickens killed themselves along the way - either against eachother, or by sprinting into me lol. I found it a tad easier with fewer chickens, so good riddance i suppose. I couldn't get the bark to work? anyway, fun and I liked the look of the game too.
TBH the bark didn’t get implemented in time. It was a last minute addition, so it just plays a bark sound right now. I may make it do something useful after the jam. Maybe a longer range chicken scare, or something different. Thanks for playing!
I think I managed to take out all the chickens... that was the secret goal right? A surprising number seemed to take themselves out by running into trees too which was fun! Nice game, really enjoyed it
HAHA You win! Glad you enjoyed it.
