Poor chicken! Fun game with nice music and graphics. It felt a little weird to have the fox going in the jump direction without further pressing a button though.
That's one hungry fox. and a violent little dog too. Anyway, I had fun playing. The jumping controls took some getting used to, but still worked. Also, my only bug report is that when I finished playing, I pressed CMD+W to close the tab and it wouldn't. Safari on a Mac.
This is great! I really like the graphics and the way that 10 seconds was used (as the health) I featured it in my comilation video of Ludum Dare 27 Games, if you wanna check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1UJ96l2scE
Nice work on the game. Good music and I like the retro feel of the graphics.
Couple of things I would like to nitpick about:
Dying after having catching chicken just warps you back to fox hole WITH the chicken, so the whole survival aspect is lost. Is this a bug or intended feature? It does make the game much smoother and easier to play, but feels odd.
The traps on the ground are hard to see and don't look like actual traps at all. I thought they were flowers and didn't realize they actually kill you until blowing up mysteriously on same spot multiple times.
This is a great little game. I really like the chunky graphics and general lo-fi style of the whole thing. Th controls are nice and tight and it feels polished all round, everything feels like it fits together perfectly. Excellent work.
nice job, initially did not understand the connection with the theme of the game, but with the course everything was being clarified. I thought the chart and nostalgic.
Great fun! I found the jump pretty ridiculously high, but it's personal preference haha. It was nice running around and snatching some chickens, then proceeding to bring them back to the home. If you plan on pursuing this game further, perhaps a double jump of sorts could allow the mobility you'd like without instantly propelling the fox pretty high.
Some other notes, I would have like some sort of feedback for when I was about to spontaneously explode haha. Not necessarily a timer, but some sort of indication. Ummm.... I played for maybe two or three minutes, but I didn't really notice any incentive to actually gather the chickens. So that could have been incorporated a bit better, I'm sure you had/have plenty of ideas for that. Alas, time constraints. Good luck in future projects!
The controls were tight at the music was fun. I made a lot more progress once I noticed that there were little red ground hazards that you needed to avoid. Cool entry!
Nice work on the art, it worked well with the low res feel. I like how everything explodes in a bloody mess, it really gives that certain pow to it! Also really catchy tune!
Controls are nice. There doesn't seem to be much consequence when you die though...especially when you grab a chicken and die, you respawn with the chicken still in your mouth.
Great game, man. An idea: if the height of the jump could be controlled keeping the space pressed, you could have short or long jumps and it would improve the gameplay.
This is crazy fun. I like the graphics too, even if they are quite minimalistic. I don't get why flowers kill you though... Also, the fox feels a wee bit floaty. But overall, great job!
This is awesome. There's a great retro feel to the game and the artwork is really nice. It's definitely pretty tricky but a challenging game! Keep it up :)

But overall, this was very solid entry. Nice job!

The profit quote made me laugh and you have highscores!

the rather funny music makes this game quite humorous :)
nice game, thank you
The controls are quite good but jumping is a bit floaty.
It's a bit weird that you can die with a chicken but still have it when you respawn. Also, returning to a hole should reset your time.
I did a lot of death-abusing :D (but it wouldn't make sence if the chicken was suddenly alive again ;))
I just loved it!
