I really love the mechanic where you have to change the order you sue power up. Very nice use of the theme and very cool level design. I did run into quite a few bugs like the buttons not resetting when I die making levels then super easy or else impossible, I clipped through platforms a lot too like the spikes that move and the spinning platform in the last level.\n\nThe best part was definitely the chicken singing along with the music.

However it can feel a bit guess-and-check at times.\n\nI think the platforming could've used much more time in the oven.  Gravity feels very strong, jumps are quite low and if you don't hold the button for the whole time you basically get flung downwards, and the speed up power makes movement almost uncomfortably fast, especially since you accelerate pretty much instantly.\n\nI liked the hectic music and sound effects.\n\nNeat game, good work.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":885237,"author_name":"LDJam user 298496","author_uid":"298496","epoch":1665478678,"text":"I really like the idea here, but there were a few bugs such as health not refreshing on some restarts and I wasn't sure if speed running against a wall was supposed to let you climb it.\n\nIt would be great if we could preview the level before picking the powers, otherwise the first run is a guess.\n\nEscape is also not the best choice of menu button, as it'll first exit full screen mode.\n\nIn all, some minor issues but a great jam game.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":885956,"author_name":"EtherianX","author_uid":"etherianx","epoch":1665526267,"text":"Nice game !

I really liked the graphics and the music, and the idea of queueing the powers gave it a sense of strategy also once I got to a level where I had more powers.\n\nThe controls seemed a bit unforgiving, though, which made the jumps a bit hard - especially with the speed power-up - and although there were 3 lives, it felt like dying on e.g. the third level on the spikes in the beginning already meant you were missing the timing and wouldn't reach the platforms in time later. In the submission build there were some glitches with the movement, i.e. I got stuck on some platforms, but I believe those were fixed for the bugfix build.\n\nAnyway, this was a game that I enjoyed playing.
