Simple and fun game! I liked the music and the art. I would have added more mechanics, like making the fox faster and you have to taunt it into obstacles or something like that. Overall a good game :D

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

I escaped!

Simple but fun. 

Developer

nice! thanks

Submitted

Very fun! Love the art and music. I was able to escape the fox. :) Great entry!

Developer

thank you for playing

Simple, but fun! The combination of art and music feel a little dissonant, but I sort of liked the vibe it created anyway? Goofy goodness.

I agree with others that it's a bit easy as is, but to be honest, that's probably better for a jam. Maybe if you plan to work on it anymore you could take some time to make it more challenging.

Overall, not much to say on this one. I feel like it does exactly what it sets out to do, and I mean that in the best way! Great work!

Developer

thanks!

Art and animations were really nice. As some already mentioned, it's a nice and straightforward game,  it would be cool if the obstacles would also impact the fox and give you some incentive to zig-zag some more! Have you considered making it so that it just get increasingly fast until you get caught by the fox instead of a predefined end? Make it go as fast as the player can handle without losing could be a fun approach. Good job :)  

Developer

thanks for playing. We thought about making it endless, but then how would the chicken escape?

 So many new ideas to try

Submitted

I found it easy, maybe making level longer could help ? Anyway a really enjoyed it :) !

Developer

thanks, definitely something to try

Submitted

Nice simple games. I found myself instinctively trying to trip up the fox but it doesn't seem to do that?

Developer

No, sorry. Good suggestion, that would have made the game better. Thanks for playin

I really liked the animations and the art! The game feels quite easy though, maybe more diverse obstacles would have made the level more challenging. As others pointed out, I think that there should have been some ways to slow down the fox, giving the player a bit of agency and control. You did a good job overall! Congrats!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback and for playing! I definitely agree, if we had more time we could have had all sorts of obstacles in :D

Submitted(+1)

Oh this is one of the funniest submissions I've played so far! I feel like this would be a really cool endless runner.  The art style is also pretty cute, reminds me of paper cutouts. My only recommendation would be to turn down the parallax effect of the bushes, it felt a little dizzying for me personally

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes I agree, the bushes got a little wild there at the end lol. Thank you for playing!

As many others, I've always tried to let the fox run into obstacles. Pretty fun graphics, too - it could be a bit more difficult imho, maybe by making it a bit longer?

Developer(+1)

thanks. Yeah, maybe a longer level would have worked.

Submitted

Nice little game ! I saw in the other comments that you lacked time to implement things to slow the fox, but maybe f you would have like to let the gameplay loop last a little further you could have add a dash mechanic to avoid traps at really high speed ?

Developer

thanks, we actually have a fly animation for that purpose, go chicken go!

Submitted

nicely polished animation!

I thought it was like i can lead the fox onto the traps and let him slower. Hahaha

Developer

that would have definitely been cool, thanks for playing

Submitted

nice game, It would be cool if you could trick the fox into hitting the obsticals

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! We had ideas to slow down the fox but ran out of time

Submitted(+1)

This was fun and had me smiling the whole way through. I would have loved a few strategic elements, like positive or negative pickups that could impact both the chicken or the fox. I enjoyed the speed up and increased difficulty. Fantastic art!
Great work!

Developer

Thanks! There was actually the idea of the chicken to be able to lay eggs to trip the fox and slow him down. However we unfortunately ran out of time

Submitted

Good game. I liked how as time progressed, both the chicken and the fox got faster for more intense gameplay.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

Nice game.  I wanted the fox to get tripped up behind me.  Unless maybe it's a ghost fox.  Reminded me of the Battletoads boat level but way less frustrating.  GJ!

Developer

that is definitely something we wanted to do. Thanks for playing

Submitted

Cute game! At first I thought, "this is way too slow." But then, it started speeding up!

Developer

thanks, hope you get to beat the game and escape

Submitted

I escaped!

Developer

thanks for playing

Submitted

A good fun game

Developer

thanks for playing

Submitted

It's a good game! It doesn't get too overwhelming or impossible.

The animations are great as well!

Developer

thanks
