STOoOpid Chicken: can you keep it alive?

Probably not. Not the first one at least. But worry not! We got plenty more disposabl.... I mean, valiant bird contestants in our midst!

Welcome participants of all ages and nationalities! To the Goriest Reality Rshow! Or "Grr!" for short. Sorry about that spelling, our greatest sponsor (my edgy little cousin that gave me 10 bucks) insisted it spelled "Grr!".

In this incredible reality show, we got many valiant birds that must traverse an obstacle course... OF DEATH (sorry, sponsors demand it)! And our participants are tasked with the noblest of goals: Keep it alive! Simple right?

Use your ingenuity and our assortment of gizmos to help the chicken survive. Do you want springs for a higher jump? We got it! A floating metal platform? Yeap. Corn...? I guess.... ok, we got one if you want. BUT REMEMBER: due to budget restrictions we got only a few of each, so you'll have to reuse them a little.

Ok, I admit: we are a really low budget show. But we have a noble goal: save chickens from certain doom and my cousin's sick ideas for shows that I wouldn't even consider if it wasn't for this damn recession.... goddamnit Chucky, even your name fits your warped personality. Please, take care of the chicken and KEEP IT ALIVE!

Haha -- stoopid chicken! that was fun :), a bit Lemmingsesque. Solid little game, well done!

Its a really cool and fun game. But I found without checkpoints the game was to far and I struggled to make it past the third screen. With checkpoints this game could easily be continued and expanded to make something really fun and enjoyable. (Not that it isn't already!)

Nice game! Reminds me of lemmings :D

I like the gameplay and the mechanics are well implemented, although I wish there were some checkpoints and not have to restart the game from the beginning everytime, or at least having some time to evaluate the level before the chicken goes and dies :P (Tho I guess that fits the theeming of the game)

Overall great game, really well done! :D

Wow that was tough.. I won't even dare try to beat HARD haha. I kinda liked this though for it's difficulty and simplicity. Great game :)

Damn this chicken is STOOPID! Unlike the chicken this game is pretty clever so well done for that. It would have been a bit easier if there were checkpoints between each level but apart from that it was fun

It took me a while to understand that items were reset when the chicken reaches specific point.
I had some fun playing this ! :)

Really fun game! For the first obstacle I tried to make a platform over the saw for the chicken to walk on, but it dissappeared before the chicken could cross it. I didn't really feel like I was in a game show and I'm not sure why you disabled ratings for audio and grafics since I think they're both pretty neat. (Except the background. I don't think it fits) However I enjoyed my time with the game! Well done

Nice game! But a little hardcore even on easy mode, as for me, my chicken didn't survive )

Pretty neat game once I realized you could re-use objects. As others pointed out, checkpoints would be nice. Cool entry!

A cute, fun game (if a little stressful at times). Not sure I have the reflexes to make it to the end and, as others have said, checkpoints would make this a much less panicky play. but even without completing the game it's rewarding to figure out each area and keep the poor, stoopid chicken alive.

Hey guys, thank you so much for the feedback, it realy make me happy XD.
I opt-out grafhics and audio cause i didnt make them.
I heard everyone and, well, if someday ill go back to the game, the first thing ill put will be checkpoints.
And again, thank you so much for the feedback, and keep the stooopid chicken alive (or not).
