I really like the style you went with. Perfectly suitable for both a jam and the idea you went with!
For the Help screen, maybe you could have added some visual hints to the player. Putting "white" in actual white and underlining "any". Minor things and really not something you have to do.
Constant clucking is awesome! Nice touch with the feather cascade in the end as well!
I didn't quite understand the need to turn with my mouse since I picked chickens up anyway. Maybe I missed something here.
I got to 61 in score, but that level kept spawning more and more. Not sure if balanced to allow completion or not but it was fun playing and got really annoying with chicks everywhere ;D

If you have you spare time, I'd love if you gave it a go at our game as well and left a review. Good or bad! :)

Fun little game, I enjoyed the frantic gameplay and the challenge of getting to the correct chicks. The only issues I have with it are that sometimes it's hard to get it to pick up a chick, and sometimes I got stuck on a bunch of chicks and couldn't move. High score of 63 :D

fashionable pixelart style, animated transitions, a full menu and a tutorial - it all demonstrates that the game is created really very demonstratively and attractively. :wink: Unfortunately, it seemed to me quite difficult to control - the character does not unfold, and the speed of the chickens is pretty weighty, and it's difficult for me to play with such control) But it's fun and it fits with the theme)

Cute graphics. Gameplay is pretty simple but we love chickens.
