collect as many eggs in 1 min that the hens delivered. nothing more. very simple.

did all by myself and with a little help from Chat-GPT and Dall-E.

the music is from my own music library that I created so it's my own copyrights.

I wanted to upload a bigger game but it is with assets from the asset store... so I changed to this simple game in the middle of the compo jam. because compo means that all needs to be done by you, not others. so... that's what it is.

I tried not to laugh, but the concept and all, I just couldn't hold it. had to do this one...

Needs physical keyboard. use the A,Z,'",/?, keys for movement.

yoddaaauthor30 Apr 2023, 20:07

if you play it on the Ludlum platform then use full screen but if you play it on itch.io then size correct.

LDJam user 3627901 May 2023, 06:15

It was a fun game. WASD-keys would have been easier though.

kykypy3o81 May 2023, 09:44

gameplay like in oldscool nintendo game'n'watch, not bad idea for simple game) i don't know that bug or feature, but on left side spawn so insane:D

yoddaaauthor1 May 2023, 10:58

@kykypy3o8 About the speed : it's funny to see it while playing couldn't stop laughing.
rapid delivery of eggs it's hilarious, to my opinion.
this feature is a reduction of time intervals between instantiations of eggs.

I just wanted to press on keys and laugh at the same time, that's the whole concept.

LDJam user 2588501 May 2023, 15:40

I don't think I've ever used those keys in a game before haha ^^ my score \o/

Chii2 May 2023, 02:41

Interesting key arrangements! One hack I found is that, if you just iterate through the keys extremely quickly, you will catch all the eggs (or so it seems)

yoddaaauthor2 May 2023, 08:01

@Chii Fingers exercise, good for releasing stress. :)

Ido2 May 2023, 10:14

oh, wow, people here collected much more than me. cute game

aschab2 May 2023, 11:07

Bug report. You keep earning eggs after it ends :)

Cute concept.

sdelay2 May 2023, 13:58

why thoses keys? :smile:

The trick is to identify the fury chicken, and the score gets pretty high by itself. yes, cute game.

yoddaaauthor2 May 2023, 15:09

@sdelay those keys reminds me the old ink games before game boy when you had the rubber yellow buttons on each side for the fingers. thanks.

Salvation2 May 2023, 16:10

Funny game. The key config does not work on Euro keyboard at least i can't seem to find bottom right key. Smashing keyboard gets you the most eggs :) Overall 9/10 on humor.

mlists2 May 2023, 16:18

Found a bug where on the HTML 5 version the music and SFX toggle did not work funny game.

DDesignDude3 May 2023, 01:49

I found it hilarious when one or more chickens started spewing a ton of eggs at a fast speed lol! Nice work and the music is very fitting and nice to listen to.

ugly_robot3 May 2023, 18:03

Haha very fun! I love that the chickens produce different amounts - that top right hen is an absolute firehose!
Very well done

Groundwater Studio3 May 2023, 23:46

I had a lot more fun with this than i expected to, i think i figured out the mashing advanced techniques. 1917 eggs, lfgggggg

deadlycupcake4 May 2023, 00:44

I only got 904 eggs. Weird controls fun game nice job

DaniilLenin4 May 2023, 03:29

Very strange controlls and chicken egg-machinegun, but still very fun!

OldDog4 May 2023, 08:42

800 is mu limit!!,cute game idea,It is simple but funny ,wirld controlls ,is there possible to get all eggs safe?(I means ,for a very good player)

ThaProfesional4 May 2023, 12:51

Music sounds so grand - and the sound effects make it feel like the chickens are really there.

Controls seemed weird for the first few seconds but then made complete sense.

Found it really relaxing really enjoyed when the chickens went nuts laying eggs.

yoddaaauthor4 May 2023, 13:46

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

yoddaaauthor4 May 2023, 17:52

@thaprofesional I'm glad you enjoyed it

yoddaaauthor4 May 2023, 17:57

@ddesigndude thank you for playing this game. glad you enjoyed it.

japes4 May 2023, 19:25

I got 1399 eggs by button bashing all the keys :)
Cute little game, i lol'd at the eggs being spammed out at such a fast rate

yoddaaauthor5 May 2023, 12:38

@japes thank for playing the game :)

Kitira5 May 2023, 13:37

Whoooa, the chickens aren't 'delivering' they are shooting! ^^
Had problems with the keys, but it was still fun and made me laugh anyway ;D

yoddaaauthor5 May 2023, 14:33

@kitira the keys are like the old ink games 2 on each(:[ ]:) side before the standard joystick arrived (+[ ]::)
I'm happy it made you laugh. :)

Voodoo5 May 2023, 16:37

Quick bit of fun, the audio carried it imo. As some others have said it's an ...unusual... control scheme XD

Iqoribou5 May 2023, 16:45

Very odd control scheme, kinda of bothersome, on canadian keyboard I had to hold shift too to make the ' please use only letters or arrows next time. Classic game but still kind of fun with the physic, music is good though!

yoddaaauthor6 May 2023, 06:40

@voodoo thank you for playing the game.

yoddaaauthor6 May 2023, 06:43

@iqoribou thank you for playing the game. I didn't know about the Canadian keyboard layout. thank you for letting me know. I don't know if I can upgrade it after submitting to compo.

LexUor6 May 2023, 17:38

A very simple game that completely replicates the gameplay of an old Nintendo game. The only thing that was more or less pleased was the soundtrack. Eggs sometimes start to appear like a machine gun, and the controls are not convenient. Graphics from DALLE are also not very pleasing to the eye.

Alexkik15156 May 2023, 18:05

nice little game) thank you)))

yoddaaauthor7 May 2023, 04:41

@alexkik1515 thank you for playing :)

HUGETUBE7 May 2023, 14:43

Game had I fun idea but I have a finnish keyboard so I had to stretch out my hands.
Fun game overall!

yoddaaauthor8 May 2023, 06:27

@hugetube thank you for playing :) I realized the the keys are not ordinary placed that is because I wanted to get the ease of laying the fingers on the keyboard, but I learned from this game that special characters are placed in different places on each keyboard so better to stick to letters only.
that's a big take away from this game.

Geckoo13378 May 2023, 15:34

Cool game with a neat visual. The main gameplay is fun enought, but please change the keys - and allow simply the arrows keys in order to move the farmer. You should add a leaderboard online? Just an idea. I had fun playing ++

yoddaaauthor8 May 2023, 17:59

@geckoo1337 thank you for playing the game.
Is it allowed to change after submitting.

Geckoo13378 May 2023, 19:14

No. If you add some new features to your project, it is a post Compo release. Not the first one which we evaluate ++

yoddaaauthor9 May 2023, 06:02

@geckoo1337 thank you very much for clarifying it to me. :)

Hakro9 May 2023, 21:38

Nice little game. Simple idea, but fun to see all those eggs flowing after some time.
Liked the music as well !
Well done

yoddaaauthor10 May 2023, 06:05

@hakro thank you for playing :)

neonlare11 May 2023, 13:49

the control scheme is very confusing to begin with, and the game's a pretty simple nice lil game, digging the music in it.

LDJam user 26376311 May 2023, 22:51

Hey, funny little game, I have fun! I don´t know why you put that inputs lol, they are not great, I think maybe you need to deliver the collected eggs somewhere, maybe a level 2, that could fit more on the theme, overall nice entry, The chicken sounds are funny, cool work!

yoddaaauthor12 May 2023, 12:59

@lexuor thank you for playing the game. the eggs shooting was intentional so speed grows over time. the keyboard keys layout also was to try to mimic the old ink games with 4 - 3 buttons each side before Nintendo game boy.
(I guess you have Canadian keyboard) from this game I've learned that " and ' are upside down and better to stick to letters and not symbol's. each country lay it differently on the keyboard. I cannot change it now as it will go out of compo. but I will give the option to choose the key from the user if LD53 allows it.

yoddaaauthor14 May 2023, 12:47

@neonlare thank you for playing the game , I made an update for the keys , I will upload it after the evaluation process will end.

yoddaaauthor15 May 2023, 07:49

ok I fixed the score Logic bug and the wired keys different keyboards bug (as users mentioned.)

instead of ("') and (/?) Now it's (K) and (M).
