The spritework and animation for this game is incredibly cute! I like how the mother hen will look around wherever the cursor goes! I also liked the playful music.

Moving the platforms with the rope was pretty cool - I liked how you could drag the platform upward by jumping with the rope.

I wasn't sure how to use the dig hole mechanic from the game, but luckily several levels did not require this mechanic. I also noticed that you don't have to get all the chicks to the nest, just one, to trigger the level completed screen. So for a few levels, I was a monster and didn't bring all the chicks safely to the nest. XD

Overall, I enjoyed this game! Nice work!

Really cute game. The mechanics are also interesting. It took me a bit of time to figure out how the hole mechanic works.

The music and sounds also fit the game mood very well. Love the art style :)

Congrats on submitting!

Hi everyone :) ! Just to let you know there is useful info in the game page and gameplay of the first levels!

I want to like this more than I do since it's very cute, but the block movement is super finicky and it the fact that they just float in the air is more of a hinderance than a help since it seems almost impossible to move them straight downward without trapping yourself (particularly since if you try to sneak under another block, your character is juuust tall enough that they tend to get stuck).

Those are all very fair criticisms. We did our best given the restrictions we had, and I think we did a pretty good job considering for most people on the dev team, this was our first ever game. I did want to include some control that would allow you to move the blocks with greater control and precision, but I didn't have the time to figure out how it would work, and we definitely wouldn't have had time to implement it.

The physics are tricky for sure, but it is very cute and the pixel art is really great.

LOOK AT THIS CHICK THO! NICEEEEEE! X)

A game staring chicks, what can go wrong ? I really liked the art-style and the chill vibe coming from the game. Dragging blocks with the rope made me feel like Spiderman.

Nice work guys! :D

I was sad the game having only one level ! Did I miss something?

Anymay, this is ultra cute, gameplay is nice too, but one thing. Is it intended that we are able to fly by standing on a platform, roping it and then jumping?

The game has 10 levels in the full version. You probably downloaded the demo by accident. Make sure to download version 1.2 :)
Also yes, the flying was intended

Mutual Destruction

Looks great and the menu and sound design are also quite satisfying. That jump sound is pretty loud. we had kind of a hard time getting the blocks to cooperate without getting ourselves stuck. You can fly by standing on a block and jumping while attached to it with a rope, dont know if that was intentional. it might help if the ramps are affected by gravity. trying to pull them down in to place was pretty tough. cute game, lots of polish on most of it.

Flying by standing on a block and jump is intentional

Really love how the chickens head turns toward the cursor. Also looks really good. It's a bit too hard in my opinion.
