Holy shit! This game.

The writing and soundtrack fully pulled me into a sword whirling chicken experience. 10/10 this game is lit!

Developer

Thanks a lot Brad :)

Very fun game and a neat concept. Got very hard though

Developer

True, I need to work on the difficulty but I'm glad you liked it.

This is a really neat mechanic. It seems like there's a lot you could do with it. Performance definitely dragged when there were a lot of active particles and a lot of swords.


I was able to destroy the spider blocks after a lot of hits with the swords. It wasn't clear to me if that was intentional or a bug. If it was intentional then it's kind of tedious because it took a while.

Developer

Haha, I just realized that I didn't remove the "spacebar" feature that spawn a sword. This was only supposed to be there for my tests but I somehow missed to remove it. The spider blocs should be avoided in order to reach the portal. Thanks a lot for your patience in killing them :)

Heh, that makes sense. It was fun being able to spawn a crazy spiral of swords but it did seem a bit odd.

I was jamming hard to the music and the polishing was really nicely done. I'm not a super big fan of the game mechanic, I really like the unique idea but it's too hard and gets frustrating rather quick.

Developer

Thanks for your nice comment, really appreciate it.

I like the mechanic, I just wish the sword wasn't destroyed so easily....and yeah I know that's kinda the mechanic of the game...but hopping around with the sword to the music making it go all wobbly was very satisfying.  I'd love for my chicken to mow down countless foes this way!   :D

Developer

Thanks for your comments, it is really helping me.

nice loved the creative game play- a it's a unique mechanic I haven't seen before! It is quite hard though...  

Keep it up :D

Developer

Thanks for your comment. I'm so happy that this game play is kind of unique. I can definitely work on the difficulty later on.

It's the best game in the world. That's it!
