Slaughter the to Lamb

I was a little confused by the game. It looked neat and walking around hitting the chickens was pretty funny. But I didn't know how to advance in the game. I couldn't jump up the ladders or find a way to climb them. I would hit reset, a single chicken would fall down, I would gruesomely kill him, then I would just walk around until hitting reset.

Maybe some description of how to play would help? I feel like I was missing some key feature.

I think the game is a bit too hard, I have only been able to kill one chickenlamb and somehow it's quite hard to go up the ladders.

The music is nice

Took me a while to see the hit Esc in the lower right to start the game. Decent music, for sure, though i had a bit of trouble getting him to do what i wanted to the ladders.

The objective of the game is to climb up the ladders and kills as much chickens as possible before you die. the trick is to get a running start before hitting the ladders.

Here is my play through of the game:


Please post your high scores in the comments

The game doesn't load. The page doesn't even load the ad, it just tells me that the game will begin after the ad plays (and that's with adblock off).

The game feels kinda buggy, but it's still pretty fun :)

Controls feel a bit floaty to me. Also, the green text for instructions was a bit hard to read on that background.

Very nice looking game but I really just can't get a hang of those ladder mechanics! I climbed up the first but the second just wasn't happening. If I were to choose 1 word to describe this game it would probably be "Esoteric"

Sorry, way too hard to play - the ladders are glitchy and broken

the game shows me the highscore screen (I guess?) without me doing anything, also I don't even need to click, the chicken dies direclty without interaction

I don't know why, but that game felt pretty unsettling. I like the concept, but I had a lot of trouble climbing the ladders.

The ladders are glitchy and sometimes the chickens die randomly without any interaction.

It's kinda buggy, but the atmosphere is good. Check that ladders and the chicken collision and you are all good

Climbing ladder in this game is maybe bigger challenge than killing the chickens :D I like how you can jump on chicken to give it a deadly blow.

After multiple try, i can't figure out how to climb the ladder, but it looks funny

Haha so brutal :)

Couldn't really figure out how to climb the ladders though. Sometimes they worked and sometimes not.

I also cannot figure out the ladders - running start you say, but even with a full screen-length running start dude just stops partway up. I made it up the first ladder once with a running start and a jump.

Intersting graphics, and concept. But still difficult

interesting concept
Fun to play, but I kept dying.
Though it's probably due to my own ineptitude.

10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

Srsly, I couldn't climb the ladder?

I had know idea what to do, but the playthrough video help a bit. Loved the music.

Pretty creepy looking art! The ladders didn't always work for me, and I was only able to blow a chicken's mind once and it was by accident. Didn't know how to do it otherwise. Other than the bugginess it seems like an interesting basis for a game, good work!

Simple concept, not very unconventional. It was hard to hit the chickens while climbing the ladders.

I loved the idea, and the visuals and audio were great!
I did find the gameplay quite difficult to understand.

Dig the graphics but I couldn't go anywhere..

Looks like Stephen Dillane went finally crazy, put on a joker mask and went to quench his thirst of blood

The humor was really good.

It is a bit confusing, but after a while I don't even care and just look at the that guy, with the horrible face that just stares at you. As if did something wrong playing this game. Graphics are real good with their own style...
