I made one badass chicken and I loved every second of it!!!
Honestly a great quick game, had fun, I would've added some kind of game over screen because I kept laser-rocket-fathering the house for a while until I figured it's just the end of the game. Had a blast tho!!

Everything is fine, the game seems to be completed, but I do not have enough rating points, how many points I earn. The fact is that I opened all the items from the store and now I just kill people.

I also ran into a problem in my browser, the game is too big, I can't see the whole game)

It started very quickly :D but I love the artstyle and your version of the theme. Great job!

Quite fun! I think I delayed as much as I could with all upgrades until they got me. :egg: :chicken: :knife:

Great bad-ass chicken. It was entertaining but you unlock everything too quickly then there is nothing to do.
The upgrade screen not pausing the action incentivised buying them quickly and not really reading what they actually did.

Good start but got boring near the end. After I got all the upgrades it was just waiting there for the enemies to overwhelm me.

Very fun to have the ULTIMATE chicken but a bit too easy

Cute game! I could see this being expanded into a full game, and It reminds me of some of the great web-games I played growing up!

Fun game! Althought difficulty is a bit off, my chicken is now immortal. I mean, it has been running for 15 minutes and still going strong. And I'm not going to kill it myself. I'M NOT A MURDERER!!!

Fun little clicker game :) This is the second game about being a chick during this LD I played, "which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice." :P

Very fun clicker game ! loved the idea and the sprites looks very neat.
The only thing missing is some nice juicy sound and a nice track.
good work ! :)

I bought everything and I still got the CHOP!! It seems I was only _delaying the inevitable_. Great little jam game. Had a lot of fun. Would have liked some kind of scoring system. I didn't hear any audio so I've not rated that.

Good stuff :8ball:

I got all the upgrades and collected 500 eggs. It would have been cool to have some kind of ultimate upgrade to strive for. Otherwise great job on this one :slight_smile:

I haven't played many games like this in the jam, I liked it! In the end there was just a fixed set of upgrades you could get, so it was up to the player to choose the correct order to get them. If you did not choose correctly the enemies would come closer and kill you. For me, I chose to go with the egg-value upgrades at the start and this turned out to be quite powerful. Maybe a bit more balancing is needed :P

I think this game could benefit a lot from more gamefeel, such as nice effects when you pick up eggs, or flashy buttons and sounds when you buy an upgrade. I already really liked how the appearance of the chicken changed as you picked some of those last upgrades. Really cool!

All-in-all really solid submission! I had a lot of fun :D
