Chicken Party, a local multiplayer party game for socially inept chickens

Hi, it’s Eu here!

This LD was the fastest one to come up with an idea (thanks Chip!), we wanted a party game that happens in a single room, the chickens as protagonists idea came later and yeah, then came the 3 days of game dev.
We usually do the LD as a team of 4 or 3, but unfortunately our network/internet/online-multiplayer master Chip was unable to join us this time, still he did help with brainstorming at the beginning as the original idea came from him. Unfortunately Chicken Party doesn’t have an online multiplayer mode, which would be ideal due it’s focus on multiplayer.

In the end our LD37 team was:
Music and SFX: Al  (SoundCloud)
Programming and Art: Eu (the one writing this post)

Nonetheless, finally I caught some rest from the Jam and fixed some crucial bugs on singleplayer, so this is our late submission post. This game is multiplayer oriented and if you have friends and XBOX360 controllers, you should totally give those chickens a chance.

This isn’t the game in it’s ideal shape, but still we would like to read your feedback!
