The Towers

  • Rolling Chicken – One of a kind tower, the legendary chicken keeps dealing damage by rolling through the enemies.

  • Soliders – The cheapest one, fires a single shot that deals damage.

  • Hot Wings – It's getting hot here! Deal damage to multiple enemies by breathing fire.

  • Sorceregg – Well, now it’s cold. Uses the magic to slow the enemies.

  • Samurai – I can cut everything! Slashes the air and creates a energy wave that pierces multiple enemies.

The enemies

  • Snake – The most common enemy, not very fast nor tanky.

  • Badger – The fastest enemy, he’ll steal your eggs.

  • Crow – The flying enemy! Takes halved damage from the Hot Wings and Samurai towers.

  • Komodo Dragon – The slow and steady tanky enemy!

I love this! Great variety, and it´s very satisfying to buy upgrades. Nice music and graphics, relatively quick for a TD game!

Great game with a good difficult curve. Easy to learn, but challenging to win. The music and sounds are great, and the 1x/2x/3x functionality is handy (and impressive for a 72h jam).

Love the idea of having something that things grab and try and take away inside of a TD. Love all the little chickens and it's kind of sad when the eggs get taken away

What a fun game! I figured out fast how the controls worked and was able to enjoy myself. I would have loved a possibility to carry my eggs back to the nest. And the randomness of the rolling chicken is hilarious!

Nice one, as some others said, awesome variety of enemies and towers. There are so many different upgrades and tactics. My only criticism would be that I wish I had more time between waves to analyse which turrets to upgrade, because I was mostly just spam upgrading to see what everything did. Maybe an intermediary menu between waves to choose upgrades?
Awesome game, played it start to finish :smile:

Almost half of the games I played so far had chickens or eggs in it :D I don't really like Tower Defense games but I almost beat wave 12. The art was adequate und the mechanics worked well. No critique on that front.

Some sounds would've been nice to really hit home the satisfaction of killing badgers with samurai chicken. THe tune in the background got old really fast, had to lower the volume a bit.

All in all a solid tower defense game. Not my cup of tea, but I hope you can reach your audience with it!

Yeah the first game I finished here and I like tower defence :D nice simple game. I missed the range information before I build a tower, I only see this when I upgrading an existing tower.
Some more sound effects were missing, otherwise music was nice and the look is also decent.
Could have been a bit more challenging but I enjoyed playing and had fun :)

All in All, it's a good, cute game. It definitely should have at least like 25 rates. This game is awesome.

Deeper than I expected at first glance.

I loved the 'carry' mechanic and the different enemy types.

The humor writing down in the menu's was an awesome touch too.

Simple game. Good variation and balance. Almost lost but won. Relaxing music.

Had a great time playing! I almost forgot how tower defense can seem so "peace of cake" at start but kicks ass in later stages, good work! :smile:

I had a really fun time playing this awesome tower defence game! Mechanics felt good and the game's main idea hits the theme well. The difficulty spike was hard, but a challenge is nice.

Only issue to me: None (maybe better UI though It's a little detail, but big results if made very well)

The game is a traditionnal tower defense. Great job on the execution on it, it plays well and no issues.

The music was very annoying but good to you that you added a mute button. What the game lacked (and that could have replaced the music) is other sounds (attack, building etc.)

The graphics were okay and played their roles.

Great job on making a game ;)

I liked it! I played until the end! I honestly kinda liked the music.

Something that sort of annoyied me is that you can't put the eggs back on the nest to give a sort of feeling like ***"k my egg is safe again"*** (idk if you get the idea), but it is not very annoying. And that's the only complaint I have xD

Nice game!

Rolling chicken is the best defensive tower!

Really amazing gameplay! I'm very impressed how you managed to implement so many features in 72 hours. The game was really fun to play and kept me excited till the final wave. I really liked the feature with mobs stealing eggs so that towers can attack them on their way back. The mood was good, I liked the art (again, very impressive that you've created so much of it) and the music. What I was missing are smoother animations and sound effects, some visual and audio response to actions. But the exciting gameplay totally makes up for that.

Awesome job!

This was great! I played all the way till I saved the eggs <3
A really good little game, I guess the only thing that coukd add to it would be some sound effects maybe?

I enjoyed the game - the decision to either buy another chicken or to upgrade a current one was fun. The UI was simple to understand at a glance - although some sound effects for the actions would've been nice, for example, it might've been hilarious when buying a chicken for the first time would cause it to let out a certain sound ~ XD. Though overall, I enjoyed it! My favorite part was when I upgraded Samurai Chicken to the max and just watched him take all enemies down -

Well made and fun game, I thought the concept of the enemies stealing the eggs and trying to escape was really nice. I really enjoyed playing this and found it fun to bounce between placing towers of different types and upgrading towers. I also liked how well polished the game was - the simple features such as muting, pausing and speeding up time go a long way. I'd say to improve this you could add sound effects, this was awesome entry - well done!

A great game and well made.
I enjoyed the challenge.
Music was great, but I have to agree that some added audio effects would be great.
But with the time you had, this is definitely a success and great game.

Oh my god. A chicken tower defense. I'm speechless. I loved it. A surprisingly in-depth and realized game for a weekend jam. The music was delightful, you have a wide variety of towers and enemies, and it's enough of a challenge to be fun. Nice one.

Nice spin on the tower defense. All of the unit types were amazing. I was sold at badgers! Relaxing soundtrack. Would have enjoyed more sfx. Love the chicken weapon art. Nice entry!

That was a neat tower defense game and plenty of fun. I feel like the difficulty curve was just right and I really enjoyed the animations and variation in enemy types.

What a smart twist to the TD genre to have the enemies try to steal something and then drop it off where they die. Really creative, well done!

Those lizards beat my ass like a drum LMAO! Thought I had it all figured out until wave 9. I like the humorous variety of chickens- especially hotwings. The fact that the enemies have to bring it back is awesome, but I wish rolling chicken would pull his weight more lol. Great submission!

Nice game that fits very well into the theme! I liked the music in the background, and the overall pacing of the game. Too bad that there was just one level, I could play more of it now that I learned how to efficiently use all the towers.

Nice game I want to see an updated version after the jam. :thumbsup: Just when I started to get the hang of it, it suddenly ended... :slight_frown:
