Please provide the game hosted somewhere - that's the point for Web games, so you don't have to install them...
More people will rate your game that way!
Anyway, thanks for your entry!

It's not very exciting and waaaay to easy tbh. But it works ;)
Thinks that may make it more interesting:
A larger range of spawning positions for the chickens
A cooldown on that fire button
Harder to catch meat (do they aim for you somehow?)
Maybe achieve some of these by increasing the size of the field?

Just random thoughts :) Gratulations for submitting your first LD! It's a real accomplishment!

Good on you for picking up Unity. Game needs some polish all around but the concept is funny, good work! :)

Appreciate the feedback so far, everyone. I've updated the links to provide a hosted version and embedded it in the page here as well.

However, the embedded one - as with most of the other embedded ones I've tested here - put the game in an iframe that is too small for the game. Should I be linking to something other than the index.html that Unity generated, or doing something else, to prevent that?

@timtipgames, yes, the chicken dinners travel directly to the player. I focused on making it fun for my toddler (and didn't have the free time to work another day on it) so I had the dinners go to the player since the live chickens get a bit out of hand when she misses too many.

Cute art. Nicely done for hand drawn art in MS paint. The game was a little boring, but it was a good start for a first game.

A bit too simple and easy, but a pretty cute game.

Great work on your first entry! You'll only get better from here! Keep at it and I hope to see your entry in LD35! =)

This game is very charming. :) I just love the hilarious concept of a wizard firing electricity at a endless stream of chickens.

It's not all that exciting over a long period of time, but with a little polish it could be pretty awesome. :)

Okay, well the theme is present in this, but everything else is not that good. The two buttons are two far away, and basically pressing the fire button forever wins the game, the jump button is useless. If the gameplay is not engaging at least you should have added some story or context. This is just too random to be fun....
