A remarkably solid experience. The art is great, the controls are simple but effective, the action is frantic yet never so difficult that it feels out of control. And it makes great use of the theme. Awesome work! -supersoup

Wow, a lot to say about this. The jumping feels amazing and responsive, and the combat is exciting and rewarding. The choice to have the bullet fire be automated was a great choice as well, as I think leaving that to the player's responsibility would've made for frustrating gameplay where you have to choose between movement and firing, and in such a high-intensity game I'm glad you didn't do that. The particles were a nice touch as a well, which is something a lot of people skip because they don't feel like it's important. The only issue I have obviously is the lack of sound, but considering how we all only had 7 days I think it's understandable how you couldn't add it in. Really amazing submission nonetheless though, not exaggerating when I say it's probably my favorite so far. Great work!
I'm really glad you had fun with the game! We first had the bullet fire to be manual but indeed it turned out too hard to play (you can change to the manual mode in the menu). We've put a lot of effort into the particles and overall game feel of the game, I'm really happy it paid out! Unfortunately, we didn't have time for the audio. But we plan on updating the game later on.
Great are style! I liked the game style too! Just wish you had used left mouse button instead of right mouse button, becuase not being full screen meant I kept right click outside of the window!
Some SFX and music would help too!
Good job!
Exept the camera movement (possibly my incompetence ) and music, the game was great dude!! It's sticked to the theme and i had fun. Good job :)
107550 points / 1383 chickens in total / over 100 chickens at max
Then I decided to stop moving and wait till I died.
Peace was never an option.
It was a greeeeeeat fun! Congrats.
To give something more:
-The difficulty is capped, and when you have more than 30 chickens it is not that hard to continue forever. You can have more or less luck depending on the places of spawn I would say (or the place you are when it spawns). I would see different kind of mobs, with more lives, or bigger/deadlier shoots. And maybe boss fights why not ^^
With some UI and audio, it is an already good mobile game!
Good work !
I really like the art style, the combat mechanics feel extremely satisfying. Well done
Super fun and instantly addicting. Really creative take on the theme. I love the pacing and combat mechanics and just overall game feel. The main thing I think that could be added is some game music that switches from calm and mellow to energetic and cinematic during combat.
This game is awesome, the visuals are so juicy! I love the bouncing chickens, they're so cute! Also the combat is really fun and interesting how things can go from 0 to 100 real quick. The feathers and other particles are a nice touch as well! Great work
Cool game, simple mechanics that are polished. It reminds me of Starcraft and micro-ing units during battles. I can imagine this being a solid mobile game once some nice SFX + music are added!
Adding some progression in your future updates would be awesome, and looking forward to seeing you grow & develop this more!
Thanks for sharing. :)
P.S., I thought this was funny due to "Run" already being in the title, lol. Makes it sound like RUN, CHICKEN, RUN!!
Thank you for the feedback!
We plan on polishing the game a bit more. You can follow me on Twitter (my profile) to get more updates :)
And yes, the pun was intended XD
This game is hilarious! The game Feel when you have all those chickens is great. The art and the level of polish...i have nothing more to say. This is amazing. It's the best game I have played so far. (And i have played a lot) Beside the missing sound effects you could add a bit more variety, which could make the replayability even better. For me personally this game should win the jam!! A masterpiece for one week!
Wow! This game is absolutely gorgeous! It's a really cool concept and it was well delivered! I found myself replaying the game a lot of times to see if I could get a little more highscore... there's just something in collecting chickens for my army that is really satisfying! c:< The only down side is, when you get further in the game, the screen shake is REALLY Intense, and happens almost all the time it's not something drastic, maybe if the intensity was decreased further it would help! Besides that, I loved that game! Keep it up delivering more games! Abraços ;)
This game is great fun!
The WebGL version seems to be lacking sound, I'm not sure if thats the same for all versions, but aside from that, it is one of the best games I've played this jam.
I can see myself playing this game a lot and trying to beat my friend's scores, its so fun and frantic.
I only have one real issue and that is that its hard to distinguish the Chicken's bullets from the Dino's.
Aside from that, fantastic game, one of the best I've played during the jam.
