Controls:

​Move around with WASD, press SPACE BAR to use your Bwuk attack to push pedestrians aside. Get to the other side before the timer runs out, which you can see by looking at the traffic lights.

About the Jam
This was a fun challenge, we had so many ideas for different NPC types, but we ran out of time! On top of that we left level design for the last two hours of the jam which was a huge mistake, causing the game to be rather short, lesson learned haha. Each jam we participate I can feel significant improvement, hopefully next jam we will have a more fleshed out game!

I loved the graphics. But in reality the BWUK Powers are much stronger than that!

The game looks great, but it was infuriating to play. Feels like the hitbox on the pedestrians is too big.

What a great iteration of that joke, I actually laughed when I started. The graphics are beautiful, there's an actual soundtrack, this is a neat take on the theme, and the gameplay is so fun. This is the first game I gave straight 10s to. I love it.

I loled again when the idiot was intentionally blocking my way. So relatable irl. (How can stationary car kill me though! also I wish I could push those idiots into traffic)

Really digging the art here! It looks super nice, I found the character sprites quite charming.

The music is nice, it could perhaps have done with a few more sound effects, possibly footsteps, or some audio feedback to actions like pushing pedestrians away.
Other than that, really nice work!

Had a nice laugh with this one, Artstyle is great as well as the music. The gameplay was simple. Even though I enjoyed the music, I find it could get repetitive. Great job, and remember. Why did the chicken cross the road!

lovely art and music !

The game looks adorable but it's rather short. There's not much explanation so it took me a few minutes to actually figure out what's going on. And the weapon seems quite weak and sometimes might not even work (or am I using it wrong?). But yeah great job with the art!

The hit boxes are very frustrating.

I am the egg master! Love the graphics and the overall mood. The concept was quite innovative. I found myself wanting to know more about this person in a chicken suit and where they were headed. I would have liked more levels with some more variety.

this is a good start. the graphics are nice and the music makes it all feel super cute. it's very short though. I would have liked to have played some levels with 10x the pedestrians and being able to use my ability more frequently. also more pedestrian types please :)

Love the graphics and music, nice entry! I think you guys should make the traffic light counter more noticeable, I was losing at the beggining without knowing why.

Fun concept. With a few more npc's with different behaviors (and of course more intersections) it could make a good full game. I was pushed far enough at one point that I thought about the idea that you could add being pushed back an intersection a part of the mechanic to "defeat" certain types of pedestrians. Enjoyed the graphics!

Well that was a bit on the easy side...

The art was simply adorable and tune was bangin' but it could have used (even very simple) sound effects. The way you incorporated the timer to the actual game world was sweet. Always cool to see a hudless game with all the information needed still there. One thing that was missing though was the actual goal of the game. I only took a glimpse at the description and missed pretty much only saw the controls so obviously I failed at my first attempt (I thought the goal was to keep all the people from crossing the road). Maybe adding a simple arrow pointing to the right side of the screen on the first level would do the trick.

I think the hitboxes of everything were a bit high. For example, I should be able to move trough here already well before my head is lower than the post...

And by the way, why isn't it failing in the above gif. Everyone had already gone past. Is it enough to just get over the street in time? That makes it even easier than I thought.

Anyways, good job!

This is such a cool concept! I would really love to see more content for this game. New obstacle types, new gamemodes, there is a ton of possibilities here.

Hey there, really cool game. It fits the theme and the art is amazing. The only issue was that the collision detection was sometimes of but I got hang of it after some tries. And MAN those pedestrian are really determined to push you back. They really put up the fight haha.

Overall you made a really nice game.

Very cute game! Cool concept with potential. Collision issues aside, Seen more feedback from when you push people would really add to it, like seeing them fall down. Lovely art and catchy tune! Great job this time!

Nice game, liked the graphics, but colliders of the sides of the road is too huge I guess

The art style and animations were absolutely adorable hahaha :laughing: The music supported the visuals really well too, although could've used a few more sound effects. Great entry, would be nice to see this developed a bit more, as I've beat the game really quickly. Could become a really good puzzle game :thumbsup:
