Truly a masterpiece, really makes you feel like a chicken. Wish I could microwave him longer, awesome game.

This genuinely had me laughing out loud, 30 uninterrupted seconds of chicken-microwave-rotation is peak gameplay experience

Thanks! The music is by some dude that made a huge amount of amazing free to use music (he has quite a few really well known songs). It's called Shiny Tech by Kevin Macleod if you'd like to listen to it  some more ;)

Well that's not good. Not sure what happened here, since you seem to be the first one where the game crashes... :c
Have you tried rebooting the game? Perhaps it was a one-time thing?
Thanks for playing our game though! We're really sorry and sad that this happened....

SoulSairSubmitted28 days ago(+1)

It was a one time thing. Art looks great! Very unique gimmick. My computer is good, I think my Unity install smelled Unreal and sabatoged the process haha.

This game is just so EXTREMELY charming! It's funny it's wacky I love it. When you go from 2d to 3d in the microwave I was SENT! So good!

Thanks! Haha yeah, considering our timezone we had some time to spare. we planned well ahead so we didn't have to do an all nighter ;)

What a hilarious and short little game. You had my undivided attention the whole time. I'm just glad we didn't have a gremlins microwave situation on our hands.

I can't believe I watched a chicken get microwaved for one and a half minute.
Something about this game made me keep playing, I think its because of the art style and how surreal it felt.

Good job, lol.

One and a half minute has to be record as far as I can tell. Thanks for playing!

I originally had a similar idea but I am glad I didn't go for it, because your execution would've just left mine in the shadows haha. All this to say great job!
I found that the play again functionality doesn't reset the game much, so you start the workout with the button presses of last time and the shopping goes by very quickly ;)

Funny game! I spammed the space bar as fast as I could thinking I would save time only to have to wait over a minute. Great work!

Felt so silly for smashing the space bar on the microwave and then having to wait through it. Like my brother in christ, you set the timer. Anyway I loved how lighthearted this game was.
