I really loved the undertale-esque menu music and how the chicken screams complement the background music, almost like vocals to a beautiful, twisted song. Amazing job!

Simple, but well executed. The sound effects and music in this game are really enjoyable to listen to. My only complaint is that moving the car left and right felt unresponsive, but other than that, good job!

!ProcedurallyGeneratedThe chickens are brilliant! I loved their run animation it was so birdlike but also bouncy and cute. The audio was perfect too 😊🥚

Icarus vs The SunNice art, satisfying to squash chicks, great music and fun idea. I did notice that the controls for right and left feel really non responsive. And in the audio loop there is this static section in my left ear every now and then.

Walk your human!Really great game! I love the idea of reversing Crossy Road, the left and right movement controls were a little tricky to get used to, but other than that I really enjoyed the game. Great job!

One With The Bulletloads of fun!!! i think the difficulty might have gone up a bit too fast, but that may be a personal preference.
please check out our game when given the chance! you'll find our themes are slightly similar :-)

CHICKN FIGHTThis was pretty cool! The concept was awesome, and squishing the chickens was very fun. However, the controls were a bit strange, the difficulty curve was strange, and there was no scorekeeper! Still fun though!

Asteroid Blastwell, I got a 141, and unfortunately, the hitboxes were being very... strange. I would go straight over the chickens, and they would be fine, as well as the holes having somewhat large hitboxes compared to the sprite. I still think that this game has good ideas, but it is pretty hard to play a lot without getting kinda frustrated. sorry if this wasn't what you wanted to hear :( It would definitely be cool seeing this game be more refined, though! :)
The game is really fun! I just loved the idea of playing as the car in a "frogger" like game. My only complaint would be that the controls feel a bit off, especialy moving to the right and the left.
Anyways, the game is pretty interesting and fun overall. Congratulations!
My highscore was 32 btw

Devs vs DummiesIt's surprisingly fun and satisfying to slaughter chickens. I really like the chickens' animations, and it was a really good take on the theme!
If you have time, I'd love it if you'd check out my submission!

Tether the WorldFun game! I like the idea of reversing the concept of Crossy Road. Good job on the fun music and art. I liked the difficulty increase, with more and more holes as well as chickens, which meant more risk but also more reward so it gave a reason to retry and survive longer in order to reach a point where you can score a lot. One thing I noticed about the sprites is that the car and the holes are viewed from the top (the holes would be more like ellipses rather than perfect circles if not viewed directly from the top) but the chickens are viewed from the side. Drawing all of them from the same point of view could help the coherency of the game. The car was also a bit hard to maneuver because it kept moving laterally, and pressing left or right only reversed the direction of movement, I could not make it sit still on one part of the screen. This game reminded me of another game I tried for another game jam: https://alakajam.com/14th-alakajam/1279/path-of-the-shaman/#c9270 which is a very good example of this type of game I think.

Put them back!Such a funny game, I like that the chickens turn into fried eggs after getting hit! Well done! :D

Space EscapersThe game loop is amazing: Initially I didn't like the idea but continue playing at it, it becomes always better and better. Just one note: it's a bit annoying lose even if you are far from a hole. You have to check the car's hitbox because I could kill chickens that weren't close as well :)
Great job anyway

Input To ActionThanks for the positive feedback! It makes me really happy you liked it! Good luck I've seen how many ratings you have, I assume they're mostly amazing! GG! I'll work on those hit boxes. Could you tell me where on the screen this bug happens? I would like to know because I was tweaking it and I got it to that size before the jam.
I felt in a hole that was positioned at 3/4 of the screen (on the right) while I could kill chickens with the side of the car even if they were outside the road.
I suggest to slow the speed of the car and of the map to make tests in order to see where is the problem, if it is about the hitbox or something else :)
the game is fun overall but we dont really like that we need to three presses for the car to go backwards (to the left)
liked the idea, good job.

Duck and ChickenVery quirky game, I like it, but the score is only visible in full screen for some reason.

The Reclamation (GMTK)Fun presentation with a quirky vibe and good feedback during gameplay. Minor note that I found the car a bit difficult to control going left/right, but still a satisfying core experience. The music is also incredibly well done. Congrats :)
