Hay Day by neonian

[raw]
made by neonian for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

It's Hay Day and time to collect the eggs!

Use various objects to protect a chicken that is under attack by several bombs and rockets. Beware of how these objects and rockets interract with each other and collect eggs to progress.

Use WASD to move and the left mouse button or 'E' to pick up and place objects.

Any feedback is welcome and have fun!

As having someone in the family with his own chicken in the garden, I can confirm that rolling bombs and missiles really are the number one threat to chicken!
Had fun playing this game.

Art and animations are great!
The bomb and missle spawning could take a bit of tweaking, in the first 4 levels I didn't even neeed to do anything just collect eggs. But later on it can get hard. Maybe the movement around objects could flow a bit smoother so you don't get stuck as much, but otherwise its great!

Cute theme
Great graphics
Awesome sound effects

Level difficulty curve seemed off to me. Most levels I could collect all the eggs without placing crates. Some levels I could get all the eggs without anything even spawning. Some levels a lot of things spawned but none got near my chicken. I think if you made the ai less random and gave me them some *slight* seeking ability it would make the game way more challenging and engaging.

The game plays really well overall. The audio fits the game nicely, the gameplay is straight-forward and understandable. There were a couple things that could use some polish, mostly around balance and character movement. Since the character always faces a single point, it can be hard to place things exactly where you want to. Some of the early levels you can beat without really putting any objects onto the level. Some of the tutorial levels could be cut out or made a lot shorter.

But none of that is to talk down on the game. It's a solid entry that was executed quite well. Overall, great work.

@bitdecay Maybe it wasn't clear from the instructions, but the character always faces the mouse cursor, not just a single point:) Thank you for the feedback!

This is really really good! I love the graphics, the game mechanics. Well thought out, nicely executed. Make an endless mode and I could play this for days.

Nice game! I would change a couple of things like maybe give the eggs collisions too so they don't go through the box making me go around it. I also think you used onCollisionEnter for the eggs making the player stop a bit when hitting the eggs. Maybe look into onTriggerEnter to make picking up smoother! Loved the music keep it up!

Linux version seems to just have game assets.
