It's a game about getting your chicken back. Like Pig. But about a chicken. And there is a warpball.
- Movement: arrow keys
- Jump: space, or x
- Throw warpball (after finding it): hold z to charge
We wrote a completely custom engine, and built this game on top.

You should write somewhere that 'Z' is the "submit" button on the main menu!
For a custom engine, this played really well! The artwork was very well done, too. The world changing when you reached the green zones was also really inventive! That transformed the game from a generic platformer to something unique.
A couple of things I noticed:
* I had a hard time finessing the horizontal movement when jumping. I had to press backwards midair to get the precision that I wanted. Hopefully that's not something to do with my keyboard!
* The ball throw mechanic was pretty hard to learn, especially when it seemed the first use of it had to be done perfectly. I couldn't get up there!
* The song just wasn't a fit at all. I think I would personally prefer no music to something that throws off the mood. It did sound like you had some sound effects in there, so I would have just let those do the work!
