My second Ludum Dare Entry!

The premise is you're an archer with only one arrow! Monsters/chickens are attacking you and you must defend yourself.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I couldn't fling a head at anyone! Cool concept.

It was pretty hard... I didnt like that the chickens could kill you after you shot them. But it was fun overall!

I've seen this idea from someone else today, but they did zombies. Chickens are better, especially when they're running about sans head. The sound was a little repetitive though.

Good job. I found this to be really entertaining.

Silly, stupid fun. The enemies are a bit too relentless in their pursuit.

This such a simple idea/game yet it's so addicting and fun I could stop playing it. It felt a little bit like dark souls that frustrating task of what happens next first it was oh chickens can kill me after they're dead then it was oh god a snake then it was the knight and trying to figure out the portal, such a good game. mad props!

I died? To a headless chicken? For that, I salute you. Nice basic concept.

A solid basis. A little bit to hard for me though. :)
