Compete with your fellow chicken to keep the egg alive and take it back to your nest on the opposite side of the map to gain a point! Be wary though, don't drop the egg or you will lose points on account of murder...
Dash or Smash Down on the other character to make them drop the egg. But in the end, always make sure to keep the EGG alive and take it back to your nest.

This is a local two player game so please enjoy with a family member.

Controls for Player one are:
A - Left
D - Right
W - Up
S - Smash Down
F - Dash/Throw Egg

Controls for Player two:
LeftArrow - Left
RightArrow - Right
UpArrow - Up
DownArrow - Smash Down
Period (.) - Dash/Throw Egg



Changes:

4-21-20: Adjusted goal hitbox

4-22-20: Temporarily limited FPS to 60 to fix player not jumping high enough. Thank you @adamcyounis and @gal-afik for pointing out this issue! Will add permanent fix and remove FPS cap ASAP tomorrow.

4-23-20: Fixed jumping bug and removed FPS cap. Also made the egg break after 2 hits instead of 1.

4-23-20: Fixed win screen sound.

Oh? You're approaching me?

Had a great time with this, and really enjoyed the art. I think if this was expanded to 4 players and with a few items/powerups to add more gameplay variety, youd have yourself a great couch co-op game. Hope to see you guys expand upon this!

This game has the best drawn style art I've seen from this entire jam so far, and I'm about 30 in. It's funny! It's cute! And it really makes me wish I had someone to play with. ORA ORA ORA ORA!

Great game! It is quite fun!
The only downside to this would be pc lag and the need for friends
but other than that. Great!

JAJAJA! Hilarious game! You've really got the theme to the EXTREME! Loved that.
Always been a fan of local multiplayer. Not a good time for it but it will pass.
Great work!

The dead chicken with their sound is disturbing.

I adore the art style and I love all the details, such as the moving text after the end of a round. All the graphics in general look super clean. Controls also feel super responsive which I like, and I especially like how pressing down while in mid-air gets you down to the ground fast. Reminds me of Duck Game (which is a great thing!)

Art style was great! The dead baby chicken was terrifying though.

It's so scary when the eggs are broken.

Is that a friggin' Jojo's reference? Love the music and in particular the art. Although the sound of crushed chicken fetuses will probably haunt my dreams tonight. If I had one comment it would be maybe that the egg should be able to take a few hits. The current version felt a bit too unforgiving when the two players are fighting over the egg, and more often than not it just get smashed against the ground.

I like the graphics.
But it's diificult and the placement of the nest relative to the place where we start is a little disturbing.

It was me, PIO! :hatched_chick:

I see this being a great party game, especially if you can have teammates to throw the egg to! The eggs breaking after falling once felt a bit strict though, maybe it only cracks a bit the first fall and breaks the second time? The music choice and sfx are spot on though! (cue the rubber chicken)

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but jumping only moves the characters a tiny bit; not nearly enough to get over any of the blocks.

Fantastic entry! Neither of us could get ahead enough to win though. (Still let one of us win, just to see the fireworks)

Hi! Nice work! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk .
Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

@gal-afik you can triple jump to get onto other platforms, also try sliding in mid air to travel more distance

@gal-afik Hey there, I actually had the same issue (windows, 64bit). I'm about 100% certain that what they/ I experienced isn't intended, as it's literally impossible to get to a single platform, even spamming triple jump and sliding. It seems to me like the gravity implementation is not accounting for delta time, so very fast computers might be applying gravity a lot more intensely than slower ones.

I won't give this one a score yet, but if you manage to find the problem and patch it, I'd love to give it another go.

@gal-afix The issue has been fixed, hope you enjoy!
