Hehe, that's a funny one! I had a blast after understanding the mechanics.
I loved the theme choice and overall aesthetics and sounds. It's all put well together.
For the gameplay I'd love to have a way to set path for the chickens permanently. I think there will be still lots of chaos and tension from traps spawning here and there and you will constantly need to adapt the paths.
Really cool entry!
I feel like the gameplay was very fun and engaging!
The art looks great, and the music is appropriately kooky.
In terms of feedback:
As others have commented, the onboarding could be a bit better - my first few runs I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and then it took even longer to realize I could flip the pieces. Something that could be improved if you continue working on this project!
I think the intro scene with your names goes by a bit too quickly and the spaceship is a tad too big. I couldn't see any of your names!
I liked the game a lot, and I think it works great as is, but I'll just throw out some ideas if you were to continue working on the project: maybe there could be a way to get some lives back? Like maybe a collectible that a chicken has to pick up? Maybe there could also be a more permanent way of redirecting bullets or something like that, as well as of stopping the chickens. Maybe also some sorts of new chickens that act differently and give you more score, or something like that!
Very cool, keep up the good work!
I really like these ideas! Thank you! I wanted to originally have an upgrade system, I have everything in place to do so, its one of the reasons the ship leaves every ten eggstractions. Just as I was going to do it, I realized I still had to make all the ui! Thank you so much for playing and glad you enjoyed it!! :D
Really fun and creative idea yopu've got there, I laughed out loud when I've heard the SFX!
7th PLACEEEEE!!!! Oh man it took me a while to be able to get your game to work but I'm glad we figured it out. I had fun playing it and was eventually able to get on the top 10!!! Nice job!

Fun game! I like the art. A tutorial would have been nice because it was kinda overwhelming at the start but other than that its a great game!
Very cool game, the presentation its very good, the style is quite unique and the gameplay keeps you entertained for a long time
Amazing job!
4 Gameplay love Lemmings kinda game .. i got compelled to get highscore .. could be better eventually
5 Theme is cool .. its like Chicken Run and lemmings and we got a spaceship vs scifi turrets its cool
4 Aesthetics ... i think its awesome! could be higher resolution or something idk.. wish it could look better fullscreen somehow but its like i know how it is .. but yeah..
4 Sound is awesome its funny and the music is tense .. sound could have more polish somehow better turret sounds and spikes and stuff
idk game was pretty awesome
i got 21 .. one time i coulda almost got 26 lotta chickens on the board but i like got panic and they died lol
- hmm maybe if it was like 2 hands game like 123 and q and e felt weird for how fast pace
i was fps addict so i wanna say like A S D .. or A W D .. for 123 and then Q and E ..
or maybe like .. QWE and oh there is clicking hmm.. mouse up and mouse down to rotate?? idk... thatd be bad actually lol
i bet itd be great with a controller
awesome game tho you can make it a bit better and it rocks
well at first i didnt know what was goin on.. and then i figure out to rotate lol .. then i didnt even realize it tells you where and when the chickens come from til after i got like 13 score i think it was (me being oblivious to actually nice ui ) .. then i was like ooh.. i felt i can totally get more if i try harder lol game was coool
yeah tutorial missing info .. hmm the hitboxes could be a bit better they seem cheap sometimes... something with not being able to place the pipes to redirect bullets ... u cant place em on the spaceship .. feels lame.. but maybe it makes sense ? as a player it felt lame.. i wanna place pipes on or under the ship...
and then... also when the ship is gone and u got chickens.. hmm stopping them under the ship at first i thought it was gonna squish em .. idk if thatd be too brutal ... its actually feels cool to keep them there too... maybe mark it with like a smoking flare with a circle like its a always safe zone ??? ... or u put like a bloody splat mark on the ground to mark its squish zone??
The choice to stop you from placing stuff on the ship was mainly because I was worried the player might accidentally prevent themselves from entering. But that was before I had traps decay so it's something I was going to remove regardless just forgot too. Yes I agree the hitboxes are wonkey, I fiddled around with them a bit but it definitely could use some more tweaking
I like the idea of the chickens getting squished actually and will do it! The marking for the landing zone is already something I thought of, just because of time constraints couldn't get the art for it.
oh i had another idea.. lemmings had like a radar minimap.. is just like a radar with blip for the places of the chickens....
and it would kinda fit with your spaceship theme.. altho not exactly knowing where they are is kinda cool too..
maybe it could be like a random upgrade that drops when u kill maybe the tesla turret?? .. like it drops a microchip thingy or something and chicken has to pick it up and bring it into the ship .. idk minimap might actually ruin the feel of having to keep track of where they are too idk
okay Q and E to rotate the pieces this is cool its like lemmings or something really cool love this kinda game!
Q and E isnt mentioned oops lol ... its really extra confusing til u realize that lol xD .. i tried using pipe to turn em lol
.. will continue playing it now
when they turn to eggs and bacon thats really funny
i wish it was zoomed out and see whole level .. maybe that makes it too easy?? .. idk..
.. actually its style choice like this yeah its like surveillance game guiding your peoples yeah this is cool.. cant see everything yeah..
- the random gen turrets can be brutally unfair i had it shooting right at a house once lol
awesome game
I liked the game a lot once I understood what was going on, which took me one or 2 playthroughs.
The menu UI was good, and I liked the style, but maybe a little bit of padding on the main menu buttons so they aren't right up against the edge of the screen, as well as an offset to the curser image, i found myself not knowing where I am clicking exactly in the menus, and then hide the curser image in game so I can see more clearly where I am going to be placing things
Guiding the chickens was a blast! I enjoyed getting them into the ship, it was very satisfying. Maybe having a count down for how many chickens left before the ship takes off would be nice, as well as a better way to track the chickens? Chickens kept dying off screen and there wasn't much i could do about it cause I couldn't keep track of them all. Maybe a radar or a zoom in/out feature
Leaderboard looked nice AND clean. I loved the art style of the game. everything looked like it was the same style. Overall, nice job for only having 3 days! cant wait to see what you make next!
Thank you so much for trying out the game! Yeah! i agree i feel the game is pretty confusing too! I wanted chaos for sure but, I think I can definitely do something to help keep track of the chickens! I do need to work on making my buttons feel better, that sort of stuff are always things I do at the very last moment!
Confusing at first but fun! once it gets going its super hard to keep track of everything!! Fun!
Maybe I missed it but mentioning that its "Q" to rotate what you're using!
At first i had a hard time grasping what was going on but as soon as I saw the tutorial i got it, its a bit to chaotic but if you focuse on one chicken at a time you can get real far, great entry
I like the game, hopefully no one beats "UrMom" (AKA me)
I hope you liked my recording on your game in the General chat.
Really cool game, I love the transition from the menu to the actuall game
