Henhouse by Stepan Shabalin

[raw]
made by Stepan Shabalin for LD 43 (COMPO)

Save the chicks by giving them food!

They don't like the food, but if you feed them, they will be very grateful and will give it back to you.

Made with: Godot, Beepbox, GIMP.

Controls: * WASD to move; * Arrows to feed the chicks; * Space to pause.

Good luck!

Man the controls remind me of the Binding of Isaac. Cool game, I like how massive the chicks get when you feed them.

It was a little unclear how the "chicks give food back" mechanic actually worked in practice. I found myself just shooting at the chicks with no regard for anything else.

@twopm you get your health regenerated if it's below a certain amount and you gave enough food. The screen flashes in that case.

The web version works just fine. :slight_smile:
Nice little game. It could, perhaps, be developed into some roguelike adventure?

Nice idea. Small and fast chicks are sometimes hard to feed, but it changes with practice.

This is a cool idea! I got 67 score. It's a nice challenge. My only request is that you make the player move faster, it was frustratingly slow. Also as TwoPM mentioned I didn't understand the mechanic of "The chickens give food back". Great job!

You know how the screen fades to white and back when you the health gets low? That's basically it.

Cute concept! The movement speed was a bit frustrating, I felt very limited by it.

Fun game! Love to see them chikens grow! Controls are also pretty nice.

Some particles and more sound effects would really enhance the experience though.

But really cool game, congrats.

Funny game, good music, if i can see the status of the chicken, that must be more playful, good idea~~
