This was a really fun little platformer, I love the mechanic and the chicken animations were brilliant (although I did see the death animation a few too many times unfortunately...)
My only real criticism is that the spikes were a little hard to see sometimes against the background, and their hitboxes could be a bit unforgiving. Aside from that though this was a great entry, well done!
This game needs a ton of polish, I think I'll start again someday. Thank you for the feedback!
Cool concept, had fun !
Thank you! I also think the concept is good, but would have liked to polish a bit more
love the fact its an autojumper and not an automover. had a lot of fun getting angry at the chicken for not jumping when I needed it too haha. GJ!
Glad you liked! This game needs a lot of polish, but since it's infuriating to play, maybe it should stay as it is :3
it wasnt as infuriating as I make it sound.
games can always use polish, you can do something fun with this as a small game, maybe even on mobile.
Hope you had fun and learned something along the jam!
Very creative!
Thank you! But yours is even more creative
Poor chicken died a lot (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
I like the simple and chilling art style, especially the chicken animation
the hitboxes seem a bit punishing
But it's a very nice experience
I wanted to fix the colliders, but I totally forgot in the end TT. This game needs a lot of polish, but I had to learn on the go haha
Short but sweet. :)
The idea reminds me of "Restless Wing Syndrome" (of which I heard by watching the video about The Best Games from GMTK Game Jam 2020 (it is the first one mentioned in it)).
It was probably not intended, but I like that even when you lose, jumping still goes on. :D
I took inspiration from that game, but that one is 100 times better than mine haha
Nice idea for a game jam! Hitboxes seem a bit on the punishing side, but it could be a skill issue on my side :D I especially liked the falling where the chicken really struggles in order to slow down (looks and feels awesome)! As others said, needs some more polish, but a great entry for this jam ;)
I think it's a bit in the punishing side. I made the chicken collider smaller, but totally forgot about resizing the spike tiles collider. The main problem of this game is that I had to learn everything on the go haha. If I had to redo this game, I'd change a lot of stuff.
a little buggy and feels unpolished but i really like the general idea, pretty fun
I agree, this game needs a ton of polish. I'll focus on learning more about Unity in the next days before joining another Jam.
MORE CHICKEEENNNS !!!!
love chicken games by the way xd
I might make another game about chickens in the future, since this one is not polished enough haha
Cute game with an interesting gimmick, unfortunately I don't feel like it was polished enough.
I agree with that. This was my first time messing with rigidbodies, parallax and cinemachine. I should have made the camera bigger so the player can see more of the map, but My backgrounds didn't escalate well with pixel size. I'll improve these elements next time. Thank you!
Fun game. It uses its mechanics rly well in an efficient way.
Thank you for the feedback!
Great idea and also very well executed. It's a lot of fun and the visuals look quite nice. The level design is great!
Thank you! I think I could have immproved the game by making the camera bigger so the player can see more of the scenario, but parallax and pixel art background images weren't big enoug/escalate well.
Such an interesting game! The concept is quite simple but really fun to play. Also, levels are designed quite well.

Glad you liked it! I rushed the lvl design a bit, so I wasn't full convinced about my game, specially about parallax and tiles.
we went for a very similar take on the theme, but you have a chicken, so I guess you win : P.
very cute overall, and delivers on the secret theme.
Glad you liked! Didn't know there was a secret theme in this Jam
wait…. are you telling me you made a chicken game without knowing the chicken theme meme?
Nope. I just read the Jam page on Itchio
Got it. Apparently, community voted a theme for this Jam, and chicken was one of them haha
Cute and simple game! I like how all the new mechanics have an introductory level before you use them in challenges
Thank you! I had another mechanic prepared, even the pixel art: keys and blocks that disappear once you got the key, but I didn't have enough time/energy to implement that,
