The game is functional and has good art and sound. However, I found it got repetitive very quickly due to the absence of progression (ex: an improvement would be if kept track of how far you've gone so that you can set yourself a goal) and low obstacle variety. In particular, I notice there is never an obstacle that forces you to go into the left lane - you can just stay in the middle + right lanes throughout the entire game. I also don't understand how the theme of surprise comes in.

This was a cute game! I thought the visuals were quite visually appealing and the music had a nice soothing style that made the whole experience quite hypnotic in a sense. The gameplay was simple, but functional and I enjoyed my time playing. A few points of improvement though: I think the synthetic sound of the jump is a little out of place for the live-soundingmusical track, so maybe something more natural would have been better? Furthermore, I found the game rather easy, which is both a good thing because I could just zone out and enjoy the relaxing music, but also could stop players from wanting to play more and more of this after a few rounds because not much seems to change. Moreover, I think the camera angle of the game is nice, but a little too zoomed in. Zooming out could help with allowing the player to see more of the level ahead of them, thus, permitting even more interesting obstacle types to be implemented. Finally, I love the idea of making the chicken surprised to make it move, but I feel this is not communicated really well in the game. Perhaps some particles or some coming book style bubble saying "BOO!" or something when you scare the chicken would be a nice touch. Overall, good effort and good solid game!

Pretty cute! I'd recommend adding in a duck (haha) action too, so the player has to duck under some obstacles. It would mix things up a bit and keep players more on their toes. I got a good chuckle out of the chicken popping out eggs at every jump, it definitely seemed surprised haha

Fun game, the graphics are nice to look at. Would've loved a scoring system!

It visually looked great and I really enjoyed the style of the game. I would have liked to have seen some kind of score, maybe in distance travelled or obstacles passed? Other than that great game. Well done! :)

Hi ! Nice prototype here!

Visual

It's visually pleasant, but a bit sad the chicken isn't animated :(

Sound

The sounds are pretty cool,  but the jump sound is a bit too harsh imo.

Tutorials

No tutorials unfortunately :(

Gameplay

  • Simple mobile-game gameplay, fun when you're waiting for an appointment
  • Feels a bit empty though, definitely needs more events to make the game have a possible end.
  • It's sad that the map is just the same short pattern repeated :(

Fun

Well I didn't have much fun since it's a prototype and there isn't much to do, but it definitely has potential for a fun short mobile-game :)

Bugs

Didn't see any bugs :)

Theme

Okay I finally saw the theme, it's fine by me :)

relaxing and pleasant to look at, I was wondering if it's infinite? I guess the only thing I would suggest is a bit more hazard variation
