Nice game! It was pretty fun, but I seemed to keep getting stuck on elements of the environment

Adorable character and enemies. Nice colorful environment. Jaunty music. I enjoyed the central mechanic of leading the enemies onto my exploding egg (whenever I failed to destroy enough of them, I would eventually get mobbed).

I did get stuck in an obstacle once. I'm not sure what happened, but even getting hit by chicks would not dislodge me. I had to refresh the page.

Thank you for your comment! Oh sorry to hear you got stuck. I should be with the small rocks right ?

Great entry!!!! Love the comical use of music and SFX. I am not sure if anyone pointed this out but i could adjust the HP bar with my mouse lol. It doesn't affect the actual HP left but wondering if that was a debug thing? 

Cover art definitely has a polished feel to it and I appreciate that!! It definitely made me want to try it. The hint cube that comes up from the egg is a bit distracting in my opinion. Maybe an outline of a square around the egg may have been a little bit more clear. Subconsciously, the cube would distract me from looking at everything else!

Those were my thoughts and hoped it will help you with the project or maybe future jams!!

I was wondering if anyone was going to find out :D I forgot to freeze the slider but yeah it's just "a display" no way to cheat ;)

Thanks for the thumb, I'm glad. I did it to make a pause during the jam, I wanted to work on the presentation, I'm glad to read your comment!

Totally understand for the explosion area, I should have created some grounded tiles or something. And it stays visible a bit too long. My first idea was to have different shapes of explosion to add some difficulty and strategy.

And yes it definitely helps :) thanks!

Great music and presentation! I like the pace, we need more slow-paced action games. I also enjoyed the mechanic of luring enemies into the blast radius, surprisingly deep gameplay for such simple mechanics.

I'm glad you liked :) Yup and there is room for enhancement with such a simple mechanic :) I'm wondering if I continue the project or not for a simple mobile game or something to test the whole process of a proper release.

Cute game and the win screen is nice! I think if it were a little faster gameplay it could be better :) It was enjoyable and fun making the big groups explode

Good points to bring, thanks for your feedback :) I wanted to escalate the difficulty or spawn over timer but it's not working so well.

Ahah thanks :D I hope you liked it. It's a nice idea. I wanted to add some chicks variation with bigger ones and different shapes of explosion to add a bit of depth.

I like the concept dude! I would suggest making the game infinite though. For example the player tries to survive as long as a possible. Great job over all!

Yup I should definitely put a chicks counter too. There is room for improvment :p

you should add walls

and/or make npc block the chicken's path instead of chasing it
