This game "felt" really nice to play, and I love the .ch file extension haha. Really good job on the creativity and game loop.

I really liked the Chicken Theme, everything just made sense :D

Amazing!! A bit similar what we did, but yours is better :)

I like myself some coding and fried eggs. 

At first I didn' tknow what I was doeing but then I kept printing more and more money. I wish I could nest those for loops.

Developer

We had a foreach loop going too which worked off the remaining number of inventory items for whatever item type you slotted in - just couldn't get all the UI edge cases in in time so kept it out. :p Nested loops could be next steps hahah.

This is so Creative! Honestly how did you decide on this idea/concept? 

Art is nicely Done and I love the Game Loop. Quite additicting ! :D

Developer(+2)

We were brainstorming and Pranjal (my other teammate) asked "What if we put chickens inside for loops?" random outta nowhere and we both go "I don't know what this game will be but we will make a game about chickens inside for loops".

Love the simplicity on the loops take, now I want to code with chickens in my daily job..

I spent 4 days in a code editor and now this ?... Loved it ! The idea is simple but i really like the execution, everything feels responsive, snappy and satisfying ! The writing is there and made me smile !

Couldn't make golden eggs from golden goose 0/10

Developer

Hahah, that'd flood the market with golden eggs and they'll lose their value! :p Thanks for playing!

I played this for way too long.... Super addicting, and I love the concept. Was really fun moving around for loops and roosters optimizing cluck count XD 

Submitted(+1)

I am such a nerd...I played this for way too long trying to get the golden goose xD as a developer and a hoarder it is weirdly satisfying

Developer

Hahah, thank you! The golden goose occasionally hatches from a normal fertilized egg (pretty high chance actually, like 1 in 15) so you just needed to make some fertile eggs first!

Too big brained for me but I see the vision and I think the execution is fantastic!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting work! 

Submitted(+1)

Ah yes, ch#, my favorite <3 Awesome game with a lot of style and creativity, loved it! So much fun and using for loops for gameplay is both hilarious but also works quite well too :o

Submitted(+1)

Interesting and silly idea! I like it! I hope you continue to develop it. It would a lot of fun with some goals driving gameplay

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we planned to do objectives to an end goal, but then I spent 8 hours trying to get a foreach loop to work (and didn't end up putting it in anyway because of all the edge cases), but that time would've been better spent on FTUE/objectives. All hindsight anyways, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game! Great concept! Some sort of end goal would be nice though.

Developer

Yeah, we got no time to balance or do objectives like originally planned, so let's assume the end goal is reaching a 42 GigaHenz processor. Thank you for playing! :D

Really interesting take on a programming themed game. I love how many combinations there are, and the hand drawn visual studio is really creative.
