It is your duty, your fate to protect the "acolyteggs" in their sacrifice to summon the Supreme Chicken. Unveil your magic spells, stop the miscreant chickens and bring their feathered majesty to earth.

Controls:

Use WASD to move and mouse to target.
Use left click to shoot magic eggs.
Your main goal is to protect the acolyteggs from the nest to the sacrifice circle.
Once the 5 circles are satiated with enough souls the ritual will be completed.

This gives an entirely new meaning to deviled eggs. :)

Gameplay is smooth and the graphics are fun!

Some sound as well an explosion or animation when you destroy enemies would go a long way towards making it more satisfying.

God I love that wizard hat x)

Funny idea, although I hate escort quests XD

I love the graphics, and the chickens! That hat, OMG. Kind of just ends though. You could build off that for sure.

I liked the idea, simple, fun and the controls work well. However, I think it could be a little more challenging.

Love the humor in this game! The concept of hunting down chickens is hilariously creative, and that wizard hat adds a nice touch. Gameplay feels smooth, and the graphics are definitely fun. Could use some sound effects and animations, but overall, a great experience!

Good game, fairly simple as there aren't many enemy chickens and all the eggs go to the same Portal. Could have them all going in different directions and more chicken enemies to create some complexity? But overall a clucking good effort! ;-)

Really nice art and animations, some feedback for how full a given portal was would've been helpful, but it wasn't too big of a problem.

I'm not sure if it was intended or not, but I found that if I put an egg on my head and moved left or right, it would move the egg much faster towards the portal - if it was a glitch, it'd be fun to have as a feature, it was nice to be able to speed eggs to the portal when there were no chickens to kill

Agree with others are suggesting as improvements but it's a jam at the end of the day and there's only so much you add so well done on what's here. It's a fun little game, big fan of the art especially - that's really solid sprite and animation work. And honestly, just playing as a wizard chicken is enough for me to come away from this happy.

the camera movement with aiming was really smooth! However I feel like the spawn rate of bad chickens was so low compared to the spawn rate of eggs that I really didn't need to shoot.

I like the simple, yet fun premise of the game! The graphics are very well done as well!

A criticism I have is the lack of health indicator for the player, considering running out of health is the lose condition. Also, I figured that losing a certain number of “acolyteggs” or the eggs that spawn them would be a lose condition, but it wasn’t. This could make the game more challenging but also fun if the enemy spawning is balanced correctly. I also think that a spawn indicator for the enemies would be appreciated.

But overall, the game is pretty solid and can be even better with some sound, and changes to enemy spawning and lose conditions could make the game more interesting and fun. Good work!

classy, but tbh kinda boring because there was no real challenge in protecting the eggs... the visuals are really good tho! just add one or two more features that make the game a little more challenging and voila a banger game

thanks @chibiata for playing!
We have some more features that didn't make it time that we plan to add!

Love the pixel graphics. Figured out very quickly how to do things. Game is extremely intuitive. What I played was fun! I'd be interested in seeing more.

Definitely a fun game and an original concept! Glad you made it, I enjoyed it for sure!
Floke21 Apr 2024, 09:52
Fun concept, however pretty boring since it is quite easy and the eggs move very slowly.
As an idea to make it more interesting, have the eggs not all go to one circle, but spread to all cicles at the same time. You'd have to run back and forth to defend the eggs.
Also, I think more enemies and more weapons are always better.

Love me a game about birds! The graphics are great! There are only two points of criticism I have, both of which have already been mentioned by other reviews. I wasn't really sure what triggered a game over so I'd agree that a health bar would've been great. I also wish there were sound effects and a soundtrack. Other than that, good job!!

The pixel art looked really good, however the game felt way too easy and slow.

the eggs cracking upon dying or reaching the portals, I cant :DDD
Super cute pixel art and smooth gameplay.
Things that woukld immediately improve this game in my opinion:
- Some cool super-mega chicken summon animation when you win the game
- A bit more challenging spawn rate of enemies
- Player health bar
- maybe a score in the end that represents how many of your acolyteggs survived

Really nice and straight forward gameplay. Everything made sense instantly which is always good to see. Could do with some extra juice like particle effects or screenshake to jazz up the combat but other than that nice work!

Hey,
cool short game with neat pixel graphics. The gameplay is there and it plays smooth. I think some scoring and nice animation at the end would have been super sweet. So you are more intrigued to try again and beat the score. (Can few eggs can die) and some nice fitting chicken sound and up beat music. (Or was it just me without sound?)
Cool entry!

Direct and nice game to quickly jump into! I love the little dancing chicken egg animations as they move. Do wish there were more opposing chicken spawning s as they were pretty manageable. Overall a fun experience.
