Why did the chicken cross the road? To rescue the ducklings, of course!

Directions

🖱 Mouse to move.

🐤 Gather the ducklings and bring them home.

Notes

Everything by Kentiya, with a little coding help from @criobite.

I ran out of time toward the end, so there's only one level, and no sounds or any real art. :(

I didn't minify the source code, so feel free to look at how marvelously hacked together it is lol.

Nice simple level but still enjoyable. the gameplay is mostly sound though my mouse input didn't seem to always register. Great job!

Nice little game here, with small scope but well implemented. Controls feels ok (something rare in ludumdare games) and theme usage is there.

Of course more levels would be very cool.

Overall, nice job!

Nice little game, obviously super simple but it feels nice to play and definitely has potential. I think the roundabouts make it a nice use of the theme and it's a pretty creative idea. Good job!

Simple, but I enjoyed this take on the theme. Being trapped inside a roundabout is a cool interpretation, and I also really liked the design of the level.

This is really more of a prototype or a demo than a full game, but that's fine. It's a pretty fun concept that just begs for more content. I think I'm glad that the visuals aren't any more detailed, as it might be pretty distressing seeing these characters get run over O_O

a full game would be amazing! I liked it, good job!

Cool concept, It's a shame you didn't have time to add more content but a nice game overall. GJ

Well done. Small scope, finished game. This what the jam is all about! I think it is cool how you got the cars to follow different traffic patterns...I bet that took a bit of doing?

Really nice game. It's well polished, and the concept was cute :D Good job!!!

That was really cute! 😊
I was so heartbroken when my ducklings where run over the first time 😱

Cool entry 👍

Cool concept! Took me a few tries to complete. Would have been awesome with graphics, sound effects and a few more levels!

Cool idea. With some work this could be become a good puzzler. Keep it up!

Cool idea! I was scared for my little ducks a few times. As a frequent scared pedestrian myself, I felt that I wanted to see traffic signals on the cars so I could tell if they were turning towards me. But I guess your simulation is accurate to real like where no one uses signals when they should. Fun game, Great job!
