Narcoleptic Chicken Kid by Lianne Booton
WINDOWS ONLY BUT SHOULD RUN IN WINE!
Hi there, so this is my second time doing Ludum Dare, this time by myself. I hope you enjoy my entry!
Controls: up,down,left,right Z to think happy thoughts (when prompted)
Edit 1: hopefully fixed the level skipping/wolf void death zone bug and password problem (the only way I can deal with bug fixing is by making a problem sound way more badass than it is).
background:
You play as a narcoleptic chick stuck in a coop full of very angry and hungry wolves that have killed your family. It's your job to escape, but be careful, as every 10 seconds you will fall asleep. Make sure you fall asleep in shadows, or you'll be eaten! Can you get to all of the coops and collect all of the corn successfully?
Notes:
This game features level passwords, shown in the title bar of each level. Enter them through the password screen to start from that level.
Wolf nipple ring dedicated to George "Pixelbear" Baron who sadly couldn't be awesome with me on this LD
Please comment if you find bugs. I lost a lot of work due to power outages and had to rush some things last minute.

All that is present is the wolf, chicken, and chicken coup, which makes it impossible to reach because there is no shadows on the way.
Yup, there's a bug when restarting, no safe place to sleep! I cried.
With that said, I got a bug not even 5 seconds into the game:
"ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: Animation End
for object ob_wolf1:
Error in code at line 14:
global.CornPercentage = global.CornGot/global.CornTotal*100
^
at position 48: Division by 0."

The concept is nice, graphics are awesome and music is beautiful.
There are a few bugs :(
It's interesting game mechanics.
Only audio is terrible for me, sorry =(
This is absolutely gorgeous, the mood here is great. Well done.
oh and i don't love baby chicken death as much as it may seem
A solid game with a simple idea and wonderful execution.
The only off-putting thing is the mix of older-style sounds with newer-style music.
The dreams are really cute. There's carnage and death all around but the chicken sleeps sound...
It's NOT OK to punch baby chicken to death though.
@Crowbeak luckily there's at least 300 games about the end of the world to satiate the blaring obvious unimaginative interpretation of Ludum Dare themes to play, for those users with a more discerning taste :)
well polished and with an interesting approach about the theme
nice graphics, audio and presentation! congratulations!
I love the idea, the game have a really good pacing (even if death was painful because the game had to reload everything)
PS : I love the art <3
The graphics are *adorable*, they really shine.
Music rocks as well.
And the demon wolf is so scary.
Kudos!
Noticed a few bugs. If you press the arrow keys fast enough, you can do extra moves (and if one of those extra moves takes you into a wall, your used time will go down leaving you with an unused move when you shouldn't have one). Also, if you continue (password) on the wolf only level (which I assume is the last level, and if so I love the bleakness there), you get a divide by zero error when you inevitably lose (presumably because you've collected 0 out of 0 corn?).
Also, I think the music/audio might be mixed a bit too loud. The audio kept clipping on certain songs (more so when other sounds were layered on top).
I like the music, too, but I can't decide if it fits or not. Not really a complaint, just an observation, I guess.
Great job!
