Use of the limitation
The name Chicken a Box sets the tone. My character, Chicky, is literally still in a box. He hasn’t fully hatched yet, so he’s stuck in his eggshell. The enemies are all box-themed too. The intro plays off this idea, with Chicky escaping a box... only to still be boxed in by the world. Kind of paradoxical if you ask me.
Cookies eaten
I literally had 2 snack packs of Oreo cookies to celebrate finishing the game!

Really good job! And your first gamejam at that! Very impressive. The game felt great to speedrun, just holding right and no breaks. At first I was wondering why I wasn't jumping that high, but realized I had hold the jump button a bit longer to jump higher. Whilst playing I was wondering how exactly the limitation was implemented which after reading the description on the submission makes sense to me although it would have been nice if you figured out a way to implement it as a mechanic somehow. Excellent job and hope to see your future gamejams too ;)
Cool designs, impresive work for a 3 day jam as a solo dev!
Was difficult on keyboard (as the instructions mentioned, not a complaint!) but I managed :)
Art was very nice but the zoomed in levels hurt my brain a bit. Enjoyed the game!
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I made the game mostly for controller because that's what I use for platformers. I find keyboard controls very difficult for most platformers.
You have a very cute art style! People have mentioned this but some of the sprites look weird because they are not all scaled the same, this is what we call mixels and generally should be avoided unless it is being used for some design choice. Congrats on finishing the game jam!
I love the art, maybe a rescaling of the sprites could be good because some are blurred, the speed of the character is hard dude but i love it, it up the difficulty and yeay good sounds effets and music, maybe the theme mystery is not reallly respected the world is a little bit strange so i can accept that, so yeay nice game dude very cute.
