Really cute game! I had a slight problem on the upper floor in the barn where I suddenly fell through the floor xD but otherwise it was fun and those chickens stressed me out.

I've made sone changes to the collision that I will release with a mobile update sometime soon. I've never seen falling through the floor.

Thank you for the feedback!

You've made an attractive and well-fleshed-out environment that was fun to navigate and explore. I did find the game very hard, with no really effective method for defending myself against those hens. I wonder needing 6 eggs might have been a bit more reasonable than 12.

The music is atmospheric but maybe a bit loud compared to the sound effects.

well, I'm working on some updates to the game I plan on adding later. One if which is difficulty and a mobile port!


Thank you for the feedback though!

It's a fun concept, and those chickens look adorable. The mouse sensitivity was way to high for me though, I couldn't do much (every time I tried to turn I would do a complete 180).

Awe don't hate them, they are just trying to keep their eggs safe!
I'm glad you liked it, it was a lot of fun to put together.

Cool to see a 3D entry for a game jam. The feeling being chased was really something and I managed to get about 7 eggs until I maneuvered myself into a corner and got approached by the violent chicken gang. Great job!

I'll be honest, it didn't even occur to me that it would be odd to go and make a 3D game for a jam.
With no prior experience I severely misjudged the time it takes to make anything. XD

I'm sorry our chickens got the best of you. 🐔

Reply
lunar-wireSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

That's what keeps me from using 3D as well! One day...

It's not your fault, I stole their eggs.

Challenging, and super fun! I love the chicken models so much! I did find what I think to be a bug though a chicken hit me through the barn.

AmethySlimeDeveloper2 years ago

ahh yeah, thats Unity being slow with its hit detection and us not having the time to calculate our own. :/

Reply
Quantam StudiosSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

I think (I am not sure) that you may need to make the physics calculations occur in FixedUpdate(). Another possible problem might be that you need to set collision to continuous on the rigidbodies. 

Reply
AmethySlimeDeveloper2 years ago

That might be it, I do remember them being even worse earlier in dev so I might have or might not have set it that way?

Honestly don't want to touch it for a couple days to check. I was looking at a lot of chicken over these past days lol.

The gang used to be much larger but was shrunk by a little more than  50% so that it doesn't self destruct in browsers. XD
Thank you very much!

Aaaarghh!  So many chickens!

Really nice game, but the mouse was so sensitive it was a bit too difficult not to spin out of control when I got sabotaged from behind the haystack!

Great music and good chicken noises.

Nice work!

This is a pretty funny game. The controls feel a little off but probably because I am playing on the browser. It's a shame I got over ran after getting all 12 eggs :(

Nice job

It's a shame that you didn't make it, but we thought it was worth to have a horde show up at the very end, it makes winning a lot more exciting.

Very similar to my original concept (which is funny) - when I got all 12 that was when the fun really started! I want launch pads etc to get away from them. really fun - good job

Thank you so much!
If we had more time I would have loved to make launch pads and a map that was a bit more focused.

I ended up with quite a few ideas I would like to implement if we went about making a more fleshed out game.

Funny that we swapped designs without even knowing. XD

Glad to see another 3D game thats more focused on 3D hah. Great concept and enjoyable game! The mouse controls were a little intense at first but I got used to them and made it to 12 eggs and then the horde really came hah. Good job

Thanks!
There are so few games in this Jam that used 3D. Being my first Jam I guess I expected incorrectly to see more.
Sorry about the sensitivity, will probably give it a fix after voting is done.

I hope you found getting your 12th one egg-citing!
