Wow! I really like the idea of using chickens in game. Love the graphics of chickens and wheat/water. Fun game, congrats on finishing it on your own. Only thing that i would change would be the chicken sound, it sounds like a youtube chicken remix or something like that, chickens are way more adorable than that! Besides that, enjoyed it!
We have had the same idea!! I have been vegetarian for almost 20 years and when the theme was announced it comes immediately to my mind. I have found also quite difficult to portrait the animal cruelty in this kind of farms, so I understand you.
The sound is quite annoying, but I Like the pixel art models. I also found it… “tense” somehow, trying to avoid the hooks while trying to not starve to death.
Good job 😊
A fun and arcady game with a clear objective (which apparently can't be taken for granted). The take on the theme was definitely cool and I enjoyed the game overall. The thing I ended up wondering about is where you got the chicken sound from :b
Thanks for the feedback guys. I got the chicken sounds from a video of a "Chicken Farm" i visited a few years ago.
I actually laughed and then felt bad about it. Fun little game, easy to pick up and play.
Awesome game! The graphics, animations and the sound are especially great, and the ending is pretty funny.
I loved the graphics. The music and the hooks Leave the game quite tense...
Short and simple. The art is crisp and well-done. The music and sound fit well, but were quite repetitive (not really a problem for a game of this length, but I thought about it).
Nice entry!
I LOL'd hard :D Poor chicken! And 'my' face when I was finally taken. And the helplessness when it's coming for 'me'! Oioioioi :D Also, I do like the music and sounds. And pixel art (just it's a bit inconsistent - the dispensers had a very different detail than the rest). Such a good job in 48h, congratz!
I think it can be quite hard to portray animal cruelty within a game without massively putting people off from playing. Sure, as you say, it's a fun and goofy game, but I think it still does a good job of portraying your message. Kudos for going down this route!
First they came for my enemies and I said nothing
Then they came for my friends and I said nothing
Then the giant robotic arm of death took me, a well fed and healthy chicken and swapped me for mad bucks.
I died doing what I loved. Heavy drinking.

@alexrose truely emotional!
Took me some time to realise you have to tap space as opposed to holding it down. After 2 tries I managed to be the last chicken, I assume that's win condition? Overall I think that you did really well, especially with the mood and graphics as well as audio, great job!
I like how you cannot win eventually. So true. This reminds me of South Park where the turkeys get killed in a "humane" way.
Why is your 2D game a 53 MB download? That is sick. What has society come to these days? I am not even joking. This could have been made in 3 MB which by modern standards in small, unfortunately.
I like the mechanics, basic yet fun. The game is short but on point, hit the spot for a LD game.
The graphics are cool, very good animations, the music and sounds fit the atmosphere very well. I love the killing animation, it is so violent :-)
Great job, keep up the good work!
@gonutz something i have to agree on is the "size and optimization". the basic chicken AI is super intensive as i had very little time *ahem* 6 work days. thats the reason why theres no WebGL build. it just kept crashing the browser (chrome) because "out of memory". Yup, good to hear that you enjoyed the game.
