Enter the Dungeon, except this time you play as a HENchman with the goal of stopping the player from reaching the end, but the world revolves around the player instead! You never were the main character!

What a nice concept!

The art is fantastic, as well as the music!

The hero got bugged a couple of times, and the controls weren't the most intuitive thing ever. If I can make a suggestion it would be to give the hero the ability to delete a trap in phase 2 or 3, to distinguish them instead of just making him go through a lot of traps you already positioned. And of course to not replay the intro whenever I start over hehe.

Overall it was quite nice, loved the hen sprite and animation!

This is a cute game! When switching between traps, I had a bit of trouble getting through the level. But when I used only the firs level trap, I made it through just fine. The music and art fit nicely together. Also, CHICKIIIN! Fun game!

The animal sounds and dialogue were really on point and added to the humour of the game!
the game was a bit difficult to control but still a lot of fun!

Absolutely loved the voices of all the characters and the hen design was 100/100. Controls were a bit clucky, but really enjoyed it. Great job!

Ok... I did have some trouble with the controls, but there is something rather enjoyable here!! I loved the cartooney presentation form the hero and his ridiculous run cycle, the chicken and it's idle animation, even the faceless villain.  I think a bit of a tutorial is needed, since I just jumped into the game without reading the itch page first, so I had no idea how to fully control it.  But I suppose I can master it in my own time (once I get some).
