So i got one question for you, how did you place the same texture next to eachother, did you make your own grid system as an editor extension?

Also i miss the source code link :(.

Game is quite decent, only thing i dislike is how hard it is to make the jumps, the jumps are quite hard and have an low error margin.
That was in level 1 though, didn't beat the first level.

jdmazz 2016-04-18 01:34

I didn't use a grid system. I used vertex snapping. In Unity this is hold down the V key. When you slice up a sprite sheet, you can pick where it is sliced. I will add the source code now. I have a github account.

Pretty good game. The controls bother me a bit, but thats just my opinion.

Dope little game! Real nice art and very easy to pick up and play. Good work for just starting out making games!

rockybdubs 2016-04-18 02:16

A little choppy for me, but quite fun!!

martinfernandez 2016-04-18 02:26

the jump is uncomfortable.. after all it's funny. I love how die the chicken

flygamer101 2016-04-18 02:27

Cool little game. It is really hard to make jumps though. GUI was cut off a little, but still good overall. Good graphics, even if my framerate little choppy. Also good music.

vantaug 2016-04-18 02:58

Considering that you're new to making games, this is really great. I am one of those people like to jump with the W key in 2d games, it could easily be done so that both the W and space keys make the character jump.
It was kinda fun how, when the chicken/egg died, it became it's food version.

almightytuna 2016-04-18 03:12

Awesome graphics and bumping music. However, the controls feel pretty constricting and sluggish. Good work :D

jdmazz 2016-04-18 03:13

It seems like a lot of people didn't like me using space bar for jump and would have preferred to have that and the W key and possibly another key. Lesson learned. I'll try to keep good controls in mind for the future LDs. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Nice concept. That song reminds of.. lady madonna!
I became an egg various times, it was fun.

mukult 2016-04-18 03:18

hahah!! Love the sprites and animations for chick!! :D

Nice entry dude!

techxsoftware 2016-04-18 03:26

good graphics and music, but I hate when I die and I get taken right back to the main menu, controls are a little awkward. seems like a game i'd play for a while, I got chickens at home.

ascendedludumdare 2016-04-18 04:13

chicken or egg? simply and clever. A bit frustrating to control making the fun factor drop but you've done incredibly well overall for a beginner

qikcik 2016-04-18 08:08

Nice :D

ccglp 2016-04-18 08:13

Chicken is a bit creepu, But it's good, tastes like chicken overall. And the levels are well designed for the little time you have. Congratz

2016-04-18 08:17

Nice and funny game !!

crisp 2016-04-18 13:35

Pretty nice! Controls are a little ruough but I like it! Good job!

glaze_96 2016-04-18 14:59

*becomes cooked egg/ chicken* Haha!

Tbh, I actually didn't even finish the first level as I got too frustrated with dying all the time. :c

The music really brings this game up a notch =)

01101101 2016-04-18 16:19

Controls are a bit "floaty", makes it hard to precise and it's a bit frustrating. Other than that, good job on the graphics and coding. Nice game :)

ezombort 2016-04-18 16:52

Fun but pretty hard first level :)

doombrowski 2016-04-18 19:41

Game is not bad. My only critique is that the view makes some jumps extra difficult.

jdmazz 2016-04-18 21:40

This is Chicken Souls! Damn. I wish I had named it that.

danilo-bezerra 2016-04-18 22:14

The white fonts are a bit confusing, and the jump is unforgiving with the player.
But the game is fun and has a good humor, Nice work!

matiasbontempo 2016-04-18 23:33

Nice twist on the music. The controls were a little clunky sometimes but its very good overall!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-18 23:39

Cute lil game. A bit hard to jump on big chicken mode but funny, specially when you die as a fried egg. Audio is lovely.

umu 2016-04-19 02:15

Very good for a first attempt. The graphics and sound are all solid. There is a bit of a bump while walking, I think possibly because of a gap between floor block objects. The chicken double jump was a bit fiddly, I couldn't do it reliably.

landosystems 2016-04-19 04:27

Nice game. Cute take on the shape shifting theme, some of the jumping was tricky but I got the hang of it after a while. Good work!

dunin 2016-04-19 11:54

it's a good start, and you finish a game!
I think it's discouraging to restart at the first level...

kestrelgames 2016-04-19 20:13

Cute game, the jumping mechanics are too difficult though. Couldn't make it past level 2.

demane_f 2016-04-20 12:50

Cool graphi but really hard to play !

mennchen22 2016-04-20 13:20

Nice One ! Liked it

jin47 2016-04-20 13:39

Great Game, The physics of the jump could be a little more "dynamic" but except from that really good entry (great music by the way !!). Good job

reisen 2016-04-20 14:18

A decent platformer for your first entry, good job overall!

Except for level 3. I spent like tens of tries cursing for that one platform to come down.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-20 15:35

Good job for your first entry, next time, plan your jumps to see the destination platform avoiding jump of faith. :)

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-20 15:37

Good job for your first entry, next time, plan your jumps to see the destination platform avoiding leap of faith. :)

patomkin 2016-04-21 13:12

Why oh why did you put platforms outside of camera view? :(
But you have finished the game and it looks really nice! Congratz! :)

hunttis 2016-04-21 14:28

Funny :D Also a bit hard ! Congrats on finishing a game, starting out is the most difficult :)

The camera could maybe go a bit ahead of the chicken, so it'd be easier to see where you're jumping. Sometimes you even had to make a leap of faith, since you couldn't see where you're going :)

Also, OUCH on the level ending sound :D

sftrabbit 2016-04-21 17:49

For learning 50% of what you know during Ludum Dare, good job! As others have said, the movement were quite tricky to master. I really like the barn sprite for the end of the level. Good work!

weirdmind 2016-04-21 19:07

Cool entry, keep working on this. Its a great start

plko 2016-04-21 20:50

Great work.
Wait for your next masterpiece :P

arzi 2016-04-21 21:33

Funny death sprites :)

Had some troubles with clunky jumping as the chicken just stopped all of its upwards momentum when it collided to platform walls. Nice, cheerful game overall.

felladrin 2016-04-24 19:56

Hey! Congratulations on yout first jam!
Good use of the theme on this platformer.
The music fits the game art. Good job!

puppetmaster 2016-04-24 20:29

Cute little game with a funny dead transformations! :-)
Keep up the good work!
