Chicken Lord by TheGCJammers

[raw]
made by TheGCJammers for LD33 (JAM)
Cultis is being bullied in his farm so as a revenge... he is calling the Apocalypse!

Of course for this you need demons and to summon a demon... you need blood. As Cultist cannot actually harm anyone (he is too weak) he decides to kill chickens and get their blood instead.

Objetives: Collect Blood and when the Blood Bar is full, Summon a Demon going to the Altar. Break havoc being the Chicken Lord!

Psst: The Blue Bar represents your altar. If those chickens break it: Game Over. You can't summon Chickthulu with a broken altar!

Controls

Controls felt better when I was not a demon so I end up not transforming at all :D Graphics are good but hitting doesn't feel like hitting because of animation delay. Since it's an arcade kind of game it is quite important.

Thats a really nice feedback! Maybe We could make the animation faster? Thanks!

The movement of the player is smooth and buggy. Its quite uncomfortable. Also the running animation is not syncronised.
The chicken movements are also weird :P

Anyway very cool graphics, idea and gameplay. Congrats!

Ha ha this one's great! I love the demon and the hilarious chickens... it gets nice and tough after a while.

Maybe an aiming help would be a good idea?
Also it might help if the player would not collide with the chickens or if you would make the collisionhull of chickens bigger. Because sometimes I would just stand on top of them without being able to hit anything.

Keep up the good work!

Interesting game. I like the music in this a lot. Some of the controls were a bit awkward but bearable.

Hilarious Idea. But I don't understand why I get a gameover once I transform into the demon. Anyway great graphics, pitch and sound !

I prefer not being a demon, so I didn't transform. Nice entry.

I laughed out VERY loud when the demon showed up the first time

Nice graphics. I was a bit confuse at first because I didnt see that I could start the altar. Its prety fun, keep up the good work !

I liked the idea, but found the controls (on a keyboard) to be a bit clunky. Also, the demon was a bit underwhelming, considering he's the star of the show. Giving him a flashing intro and fancy moves would have added a lot.

Hahaha the game is funny and the gameplay is smooth!
The basic idea is really enjoyable, a little difficult to move with the deamon form!
Love the visual and sound!
Great work!

It's a good game. But it can be better. I just wanted to kill more chicks and you didn't let me. The altar dies too quickly, maybe you should gave it more health or I don't know. I just wanted to be demon more times than just once. To listen that badass music.

Hilarious game! The graphics are really good looking. Music is fine, controls are good. Simple but efficient game. Good job!

Don't know which mayor decided to have a demonic portal built right in the middle of his village, but that was definitely a neat move!
Joke apart, the concept was pretty cool. This "demon invocation" thing, really adds up with the theme. It's also really funny how you made chicken both victims and enemies :)
I agree with commodoreKid regarding animations, the visual feedback for attacks is not at its best, but the overall realization (music, graphics, controls) remains very impressive, and that is true from the main title to the game over.
Great entry!
