Egg Defender by Tent Hat

[raw]
made by Tent Hat for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

Play as a chicken defending you Egg! WASD to move, P to peck, Space to jump.

It's been a few years since I participated, and I'm glad to get my feet wet with a new game engine. Was a ton of fun and I can't wait to be back next Jam!

That's interesting, I'll check out the .dll issue. This is my first time trying to make a game using c++, so still new to some of the lower level constraints.

Many kneecaps were pecked. I was the destroyer of humans and planter of flowers.
Congratulations on finishing a game in 48 hours.

I really love the movement, especially the jumping, kind of cool to see where you end up since you can't tell the depth. On the other hand, didn't feel like I moved fast / accurately enough to be able to stop the mean old dudes from smashing the egg..

![error.png](///raw/0dc/62/z/2d1b3.png) At the top it says I need this dll, I downloaded it, and tried again leading to the bottom error

Haha, I really like the detail of planting flowers where enemies are defeated.

It's a cool concept, but I wish I could run faster / spam peck while moving. It'd give me more opportunities to defend the egg.

Also, these are some tallbois.

Works fine, but the duck feels a bit slow. Esp. later on, when lots of humans come in, you don't stand a chance.

My egg got smashed :(
But the timer went on, and even got negative. Is there no lose situation/screen?

Other than that, nice little game!

With the help of a friend, I tried to include the .dll files that he was missing in the repository. Still checking to see if it will now run on other machines.

In the future, I should just use Unity and stop with c++ :laughing:

I figured it out, it's a problem with 32 vs 64 bit. I'm going to work on a small hot fix so it can work on both platforms.

Nice little game, really nice that you tried to do it in C++ with the OLC libs. Maybe you can try using Unity as you said but dont give up on C++, its a nice tool to know and It will give teach you a lot of great stuff that you will miss if you only use Unity.
