Nice mechanics and great intro/theme! Save the Holy Chicken of Aknok!

The graphics and music are really great on this - especially that loading animation at the start! The idea is neat, but I had some trouble with the gameplay - it seemed difficult to pass the chicken reliably, and sometimes it seemed that I had done everything perfectly, yet still didn't make it. Still, it was entertaining enough to play quite a few times.

The game is really fun. Nice concept. I would for it to be a little faster, maybe some difficulty settings. At some point the game lagged, maybe my PC isn't powerful enought. The lightning is good. In the instructions the post processing was too much. The lava fluid was really cool too. A great job overall :D!

Really enjoyed that game! Really fun throwing the chicken and hoping another character catches it. It would be interesting to see a bit more of a difficulty ramp-up the longer you go on

Nice game, the lava looks cool and the game concept is great, the idea of leaving people to die to save the chicken really funny. Great job.

A very well made funny little game. I love the music and the visual style, but the bloom effect was perhaps used a bit too much. Overall a really good combo game. Well done.

Really liked the lava effect, specially in the title screen. The audio effects and the music of the game are also nice.

I found it pretty amusing, making me play it several times. However i wasn't able to beat 3 safe zones. Well, i'm not a very good player in any way.

Congrats for the nice job!

The lava at the beginning looks incredible, and the entire premise of the game is pretty hilarious. The game is pretty hard, but really fun. Nice job!

Nice little runner game. That title screen and intro felt like an eternity.

I like the game, especially the idea of passing the baton to yourself. I didn't understand why I would throw the chicken when not passing it off. Maybe that could make the running faster because you don't have the chicken? The unskippable title and story animation were rather long, especially for a jam game. Nice graphics and use of bloom.

Awesome entry. Gameplay is solid. Endless runner with a cleaver twist. I like it :)

I see you played with fluid physics and shaders. Lava looks awesome!

Cheers!

Really cool! I like how the terrain was procedurally generated. The graphics were really good, though the controls felt a bit clunk y on occasion. Really nice work all around! =)
