Nice little game. Nothing special but had fun playing it! :)
Thanks for playing!
Love the game feel of your
Was fun to beat them boys O_O
Also like what you made out of the art kit^^
Great work!
Thank you!
8940! Lots of fun :)
Thanks for playing!
Good idea to use the chickens as health points. The smacking felt very satisfying. The sound effects and the music was great :) My highscore was 10070 points :) Good job
Thank you! I tried going for minimal UI, so no health bar needed, just a whole lot of chickens aha
Noooooo my chickens! Very satisfying game! The blue trolls certainly added a lil bit of strategy. Congratz!
Thanks for playing!
At first I was like: "Should I be careful and try not to whack the chickens?", and then as soon as a troll popped out I was like: "oh hell nah!". You got me in the first half XD I feel like the game could've been polished a little more, doesn't seem like a game I would definitely pay for, but overall the concept was good!
Thank you! I definitely agree there is a lot to add. This project was a good scope on what I can do in a jam like this and I think next time I can scope bigger
Fun game! Like many others, I also reveled in bashing little trolls heads in. I also think that having the teal troll give more chickens back was a good decision.
Thank you! I agree, the teal troll (or chicken bagger as I call him) was a vital last minute addition
Had a blast while playing this game. It's so satisfying and juicy!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
I thought the difficultly ramped up nicely and it was pretty satisfying to whack the trolls haha. Definitely a fun and engaging game to play.
Thank you!
Haha definitely a fun game, you made it really satisfying to crush those little trolls, and I like that you also added the blue trolls mechanic, that added a nice extra dimension. It gets pretty manic haha It would be nice as others have said if the attack maybe had a radius to make it a little easier when you are panicking. Very nice game.
Thank you! I'm glad you had fun, and I'm certain to give better information to the player next time! (it is easy to forget players can't see the gizmo you used to test the radius during development aha)
Woah fun! I'd never have thought to come up with a farm based level and I dig the pun in the name. Overall quite good. Some times I missed a troll despite whacking right by it so maybe some better idea of your whack radius would have been nice
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
Awesome game!! It feels nice and after a while becomes really hard and frantic! If you add some pickup weapons to the mix, that would definitively help with the difficult parts!
Thank you! Weapon choices is a great idea
Really fun! With a crypt of the necrodancer type music implementation this could probably sell well on the app store lol.
Thank you! And cheers for introducing me to that soundtrack, I need to learn how to create stuff like that of my own.
Pretty fun game! Once they manage to pop out it becomes pretty stresful haha
Thank you! It is definitely a stress management game aha
The music really adds to the frantic troll whacking. A neat game :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I protected one chicken for along time. If you can add some crazy pickups like buffing the chicken or filling the emergence holes , it can be more awesome !!
Thank you! I totally agree, the ability to close holes would give a layer of chaos management and I love the idea of a certain chicken becoming the chosen one to save us all
Fun game, I love how it gets more and more frantic :-)
Thanks! It does get chaotic quickly aha
Good twist on an old mechanic. After a while it becames a gory mess.
I really like how the blue troll carries chickens and the screen shake when you kill the trolls.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the blue troll, he was a last minute addition!
Nice game, fun to play.
Like the Music. Good job
Thank you!
fun little game I got to 33, 580. would be cool to get powerups or something when things get heated up. Also I wish there was an alternative to space for attack as spamming space while walking with WASD is a bit uncomfortable.
That's an excellent score! There is a lot I would have liked to implement, like more enemies and powerups like you said. Also thanks for the feedback, especially about controls!
