I got the idea from planets vs zombies and I wanted to make a egg saving game.
I found the game a bit difficult, all the things I buy to help me with enemies are dying too quickly and I wish I could accumulate them more. Otherwise, nice game overall!
I think giving time to the player at the beginning of the game to understand the basics and prepare some basic defence would help a lot, but I'm not familiar with tower defence games, so it might be just me.
Also a few hitboxes feel very hard to hit. I think a more generous hitbox for the enemies and eggs could make the game feel more responsive.
Otherwise however it was very enjoyable. I loved the art especially.
Those were some naughty the wolves though, hit boxes are so small, hard to hit'em.
UI is very much in the way of everything and the hen is not quite centred (feels like it at least) I had to always cover south side with scarecrows at all times.
It would have been nice to have a tutorial before the actual play, as I could not necessarely read the text while focussing on keeping the foxes away. Also, I understand that it is realy complicated to implement music in a jam game, but it would have been nice to have some sounds to help with the mood.
But good job anyways !
