Nice spin on a class gag for fans of pixel art Zelda games.

PROS:

• Surprisingly diverse cast of enemies to encounter and they all have unique challenges to deal with. Also like how they were iteratively introduced over time so players can get used to the mechanic of simpler enemies before dealing with more complex enemies.
• Pixel art looks great and consistent across the environment and characters alike.
• Combat areas are nicely spaced out so that there are plenty of "safe" spaces for players to regroup and get a hang of their controls.

CRITIQUE:

• Played on keyboard and definitely got a "pat your head and rub your belly" feel from the controls. I'm sure with controller it's more intuitive with twin-stick behavior, but for keyboard it would be nice to have the mouse dictate my targeting since that's a broadly used control scheme for twin-stick shooter style behaviors.
• I didn't feel a lot of time pressure other than when I noticed that the enemies were killing chickens I could possibly pick up. That made me feel bad often because I really didn't have much time to save some of them, but I got a bit numb to it over time because I didn't see much need for more than 5 chickens or so. It'd be cool to get grander or more spectacle attacks/abilities the more chickens I have to give me incentive to save more chickens faster.
• The environment pixel art looked really nice and beveled to give the 3D top-down visuals, but I could just run over a lot of objects that I thought would block my movement. Might tone down some of the contrast creating the beveling effects and/or hard edges for things if players are supposed to be allowed to walk over them just so that it's not visually confusing where I can and can't walk.

Who hasn't played a Zelda game and thought, "I want to be the group of angry chickens?" Nice job! I love your cover art.

Feedback wise, most of what I thought about the controls has already been said by others, so my contribution would be amount you can see on screen. It'd be nice if things were a little more square. Enemies popping up from above or below give no real warning because there's less room to see them coming. Granted, this may feel a little better if the controls were changed up, particularly the target resetting every time you attack.

I had fun! Congrats on submitting!

I think the best part about the game is art! (Don't get me wrong, I like the gameplay too)

I think the gameplay was pretty dynamic, by that I mean you get 10 chickens that die really fast and you have to get more chickens again, and I liked it!

Attacking was pretty hard because it was bound on Z and the chicken was attacking the place it stood on.

Also, you should add some background music to the game, because this would add more "life" into the game. Overall I liked the game :)

Nice game! Loving the art, with its old zelda feel. 

Hitting a large group of enemies / objects is pretty satisfying, so it was always fun to go to the lower right of the map, since that's where large groups seemed so spawn.

The controls felt a bit weird, mainly Z being to "attack" when its right underneath WASD, making it hard to do both at the same time. 

I can see some additions of maybe different chicken types that can have different abilities or effects.

Overall a nice fun game!

 controller support is a nice touch, although for some reason I seemed to need to press an arrow key to get the curser to show up before aiming on a controller. I love the concept based on the theme and being a third party makes the combat feel more dynamic.

The art looks absolutely amazing, love the art style and all the different enemies, they're cute. This game reminds me of Zelda when all the chickens would come to attack you if you hit them too often.

though I must say for someone who has a Qwertz keyboard the controls were a bit hard. ^^

Well done nonetheless

The art and the sound effects are good. Music is missing though. The controls are also good... although you first have to get used to them. I also like the story, the concept. There is one thing that I have to criticize though. The chickens you have to collect die waaaay to early and can't defend themselves so most of them are dead by the time you have collected only some of the chickens that you found. The chickens also don't respawn... at least I didn't see them. If they respawn they probably die too fast...

Really nice arcade game with a nice variety of enemies and difficulty progression. The art / palette are great. I wish there was music!

Game play controls well but not the most exciting. I'd love to see this expanded with power ups / more levels or areas to explore. I can imagine a whole RPG around this concept :)
