I like the idea and the interface, but maybe the visual limitations make it a bit confusing. But is fun, good job! :)
Wow what an insanely cool game. Graphics are great, animations are smooth and the gameplay is fun. Amazing job!
Wow, this is impressive. Never thought a game about shooting chickens with fireballs to then throw them into a grinder would be so good at being a horror game. The limited field of view, slow turning, and the pixelated-ness of the screen can make it hard to tell if you're looking at a chicken or just the wall, and then you realize it's charging towards you and you freak out. Controls were good, they took a minute to get used to but once you do its a quite hectic experience. The graphics too were quite impressive.
Pixelated 3D games are my favorite. Wish the turning was a bit tighter, but this game is chaotic in the best way!
The chickes must die. 10/10. Peak.
Absolutely wild and hilarious! Nice retro FPS with pure WTF energy in the best way possible!
Good job!
How?.. Why?.. What?..
This is pure silliness, exactly my kind of games. No real goal, as far as I see, no sense at all, but somehow this game is pure joy! You nailed making them chickens visible enough in the maze, and I can imagine how tricky that was! The pickups look magnificent, so smooth despite being rendered in 84x48 monochrome. And I love the little icons on Nokia’s buttons, they’re so cute and so useful!
Madness! 10/10!
This is so cool!!! I love the aestetic its so scary how empty everything is. The moment when one realises that something is there something moves but one can't see what it is chefs kiss! If there was another human with me in there i would have shot them without ever knowing. It has that ps1 feel to it for me for some reason in the very best way! Little bit of silenthill played on a nintendo with bad graphics. I love this.
My brain wants some story so badly but the complete lack of context goes so well with the completly empty halls of brickwalls. That there is no music to set the mood just the sound of me and the chickens adds to that. It's almost rude!
Nice entry, unfortunately just hard to play because of the lack of visual clarity. Impressive still
Technically impressive for the restriction, nice work
I like the art, and I think it's neat that it's 3D. Good game.
What a game!
I don't know if there is an objective! like an end to the game.
Making a nokia phone for mobile users was a nice touch
Thanks. As a former and proud 3310 operator, being able to play on mobile was an important addition!
This is entertaining and pretty great in a technical sense. I do think it'd benefit from dithering since its hard to make depth out. Also needs a boss every now and then. It controls well in my opinion and the nokia overlay is a nice touch, I tried it on mobile also and it was comfortable.
I tried dithering and was never happy with it. I do think it's solvable, but I'd committed myself to a texture style that wasn't right for it
Cool, a 3D Chicken-Doom! It's so much fun!
Awesome entry, after doing 3D first person nokia game myself last year, it's really interesting to see how this came together. The visual clarity is great overall and the camera depth cutoff feels just right- enough to understand the scope of your surroundings without getting noise from further away walls/objects. The pit pillars sticking out above the walls help to orient yourself in the level, which was very thoughtful. My only feedback is that the enemy chickens are a hard to see, I feel like inverting their pallette or giving them a range-adjusted outline would have helped. Also the chicken dumping mechanic for score was a fun addition to just running and gunning!
Dark chickens is a good call. Thanks man.
Really nice version of chicken doom
Nice game, had a lot of fun with it, strongly humoristic and that's good, might be sometimes difficult to distinguish chickens form walls but after playing for 5 minutes you get used to it and it's just straight fun from here !!
It's a bit difficult to be turning around and shooting at the chickens!! Also somehow I managed to clip myself out of bounds, otherwise, a little shooter game with chickens is very funny!! Well done!!!
Cool little game. Roasting chickens was hilarious
While I think the 3D effect is very cool, I think the chickens were a little too unreadable sometimes since they basically blended into the walls. It was also a little annoying that they were really only visible when viewed up close.
Still, I love how you really stuck to making a game with the exact resolution and feel of a nokia. While I feel the game's readability could've improved if you upscaled the game, what's here is still pretty cool. Solid job on this
The resolution is definitely part of the challenge on a game like this!
What score did you get?
I had collected quite a few roasted chickens, but it in the end I couldn't find the grinding pit so my score was 0 lol
Some sort of indicator for where the grinding pit was would've worked imo
There is one - you've just got to broadly look in the right direction! ;)
I liked the game, the graphics, theme and mechanics were very good. I will definitely return to the game later with more calm
