Thanks! I played some more levels. I didn't see the Enter button below the leaderboards, haha. I haven't finished all levels, I was stuck on the level with that eagle. I managed to get the third chicken into the house, but I lost the first ones to water all the time. One time the chicken was floating in the first water, so I wasn't able to grab it anymore. The other times they were stuck on the bigger water area and always bounced away when I tried to approach. I usually drowned.. Felt a bit bad when I got them all in the house, but drowned in the last water area.. Otherwise I liked the level design and the option to skip collecting berries. Sadly you cannot skip the chickens ;) Lazy me.. For someone who never plays platformers, the difficulty felt decent to me. Keyboard controls were ok. I mostly messed up when jumping. It's fast, but still feels a bit hard to control.
I also noticed the chicken counter on top, which is a nice addition to see what you're missing.
I actually thought the eagle would be targeting the chickens, not me. The eagle cry was cool ;)
Amazing, thanks for your input! I'll link into adding a tutorial for the first loop to explain all buttons, then I can remove the repeating text when hitting the store and such, so it won't be nuissance.
Not feeding chickens is not punishable. I thought about it, but felt it was too much for my first try for that jam as I was intending it to be relaxing and not a chicken horror game. (Chicken flying over the screen in a rage and destroying all your crops!) Balancing was also an issue, I didn't want to leave the player without a possible income stream (for example, if not feeding would lead to no eggs).
But I'll keep it in mind! The game is basically a soup made of If-statements, so I am happy that it's running at all haha.
The goal is to raise different colored chickens, 11 in total (not counting player chicken), but that's what I meant when saying "what is the end"? I'll try to make it more clear! Thank you!
The graphics are very cool, I like them a lot. I needed to check back here to see the Controls. I'd add using the Alt button to the page. I tried hitting Enter and space and other keys, but always got the message "No Save Data".
For me it feels way too slow. I know it's a throwback to the old Game Boy, but watching the letters crawling on the screen is a bit boring, especially paired with the sound..
Nice, thanks for the short game. The art is very cute. I wish it had a second level! I used E for grabbing the chicken, so that was good. I was a bit confused about the different keys shown however. I was expecting to "find" the chicken earlier. Double Jump I figured out after trying. Showing Space once wasn't that "obvious" to me, haha. Maybe add 2x to it?
My Chicken Farm is about raising different colored chickens! It's meant to be enjoyed in the background - wait for your crops to grow, pick up and sell eggs and hatch different chickens.
I'd like feedback on: Bugs in case you notice any.... grave ones. Enough chicken variety?
I need help on: How to "end"? I want to add an "endless" mode, which allows players to sell chickens, so they can raise more of their favorite breed. Still, I wonder how to properly end it for the jam? A "You hatched all chickens" message?
