Around the Cluck by Brutten
My Ludum Dare 47 submission. See what it's like going through the life cycle of a chicken. Maybe there's a way out? If you get confused, see how the items interact with the things around you.

gameplay kinda boring, but thats aight :/
Bonus points for the "Mmmm, nice and plumpy!" v/o when you die -- lol'd to that.
- That ending was totally worth the effort, lol
- Passive humor and references
What I think could be improved:
- I don't like how the camera always stuck with you at the bottom of the screen. It forced me to always move at the bottom or else I can't see a thing.
- The hit zone of item usage is a bit hard to use. The item is grabbed on your peak, but you have to stand exactly on the spot to use it, which is quite hard to correctly get.
- Probably add some kind of story at the beginning? Just one dialog of the owner about getting a fat chicken or something could ease the "getting acquainted" step a lot
The puzzle itself was short and fun and the sound effects were just great xD
I don't know if the eating mechanic was necessary but i was too fat and got eaten once so that was a good laugh.
In my personal interpretation of the ending the chicken causes a massive crash that eventually leads to the downfall of humanity and the rise of the chicken empire (chicken number 0 survives obviously)
Good job!
