I agree the flashing is a bit extreme, but i wanted the chicken to have a heavy metal moment. I limited it to just 3 seconds, so hopefully that's short enough that no one will have problems.
@mmatt-ugh yeah something about that juxtaposition really works huh.
This entry has such a spectacular understanding of FUN, and I have massive admiration for such a great focus on game feel and player satisfaction. Kudos!!
Btw, was this on some sort of emulator? What was the pico thing?
Graphics and music are pleasant (except for the level end flashing...), much better than in most pico-8 games I've played. Liked how the eggs could survive crossing the fire.
The style is simple but consistent. The music is and sound is perfect.
I guess I just didn't know what to expect.
Very nice entry, especially for the PICO8.
