Machine Gun Chicken by SaeedPrez
About
Well, it's a chicken with machine gun. Questions about that? :)
Objective
The objective is to protect your egg (your baby) as long as you possibly can.
How to play
- Control the chicken and aim with the ARROW-keys, the WASD-keys or your mouse (only horizontal)
- TIP: Use the W and D keys to turn fast, and the mouse to aim more precisely
- Shoot with the SPACE BAR-key or the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON
- Use the MINIMAP, it's a great tool to keep track of the enemies
- Pick upp ammo on the ground, they will increase your weapon damage
- Press N at anytime to play the next music track
Enemies
Enemies have different stats: * The girl has very little health but she is very fast * The police has heavy armor and can therefore take more damage * The zombie is a monster with a lot of health, but is very slow * Enemies health and spawn rate increase the longer you survive

I thought it was kinda hard to aim though (might be what you want idk). Maybe consider rotating the chicken and shooting towards the mouse. (Also nice formating, makes it very clear and organized :D)
I agree, it is a bit hard to aim as it takes some getting used to. I will look into if I can improve on that, and perhaps as you suggest let the player aim with the mouse.
Got 20k points :). Loving the game!
I only missed the "step-aside" on a and d and aim on the mouse. Somehow thats what i am used to. But in the end it doesnt even really matter, i had fun.
At first it felt weird to have the A and D keys to turn instead of the classic lateral movement but it was great.
I don't know if I missed it but I didn't know what those things enemies left when they were killed were for
Thank you for playing and your feedback ♥
I had the minimap not rotate at the beginning but I felt that was harder to get oriented on.. but I don't know..
I quote myself from another comment:
> I think it was a design by accident as i only had keyboard control from start. At the end the keyboard become fast turning and mouse for precision aiming.
Those are bullets :) They increase your damage when you pick them up
Love the minimap, it allows you to gather the bullet upgrades and still maintain focus on the field.
Personally I felt like the difficulty could ramp up a bit faster, but overall really fun.
Unfortunately I think the aim was a bit too sensitive for me and I think a mini map in the corner would really help!
Will you add more stuff in the future? Like, I dunno. More weapons or something?
I am currently working on another game, but after the LD-voting period is over I'm definitely considering working on this game. I've received some awesome and constructive feedback from everyone and I agree, the game would be much more fun with more weapons for variation, a sense of progress, more polish and perhaps a shop where you can unlock items.
