This is a super good game, really polished with a lot of great juice. I liked all the different chicken types. However, it got so overwhelming so fast. So many new things and enemies were thrown at me that I couldn't keep track of anything. Wave 2 felt like what wave 100 should be! If the game was a bit easier, this would be totally awesome.

ISCHEMIAThis is so cute! It starts off simple enough but gets super chaotic and overwhelming really fast. The strategy ends up being picking up a chicken and running around to make sure the last one doesn’t die lol. The enemy variety is great and adds extra challenge! I just wish there was more for the player to do to protect the chickens. Other than that good work! Nice art, audio, and chaotic gameplay. Well done!

HeartstrungThis is very charming, I liked it. The chicken sprites look so silly and funny, and the audio paired well with the theme of the game.
At the end I managed to get to wave 15 (my strategy was to hold a chicken and let the others explode lmao, worked pretty well). I don't have any particular criticism for this one as it is just a simple chaotic chicken exploding game, so good job and good luck :)

Clockwardscool game! the explosion animation is so good! I wish you could pick up more than one chicken since it was quite hard but it's probably my fault lol! i like the art too!

Even or Odd? - GMTK 2026This is so good! As others have said, it's hilarious, chaotic, and very difficult! I do wish that you could pick up chickens from slightly farther away, but that might just be a skill issue tbh. Easily the funniest game I've played so far!

STRENGTH WITHOUT NUMBERSSplash art is a definitive highlight!
The game is SO HARD, maybe a ramp up in the beginning to allow the player to experience more chickens would be goose.
Gonna add this one to the collection

Space BarbarianExcellent main menu music - felt like I was in a fancy lift. This is a great use and execution of the theme. One piece of feedback: I automatically assumed I had to kill the chickens rather than save them, and for some reason that felt better, played better, and was more fun to me! Overall GG, definitely should work on this more.

The Decision of The FlowerReally chaotic game! The amounts of time I have only 1 chicken left and keep holding it with my dear life. Really fun gameplay!

Hunter DioramaAt first I thought the bomb chickens were the only enemies, then I saw psychic chickens, skeletons, and even cyborg from xmen lol. Super fun gameplay loop that turns chaotic incredibly fast, really enjoyed playing it

Deck of DamoclesI love the concept.
It's really difficult after to keep more than 1 chicken alive later. I think the strat is to just grab a chicken and run with it.

Glungus Clicker: Final BattleThank you for playing! Yea that actually is the best strat but we've altered the later stages so that after a point that doesn't work as well so you're forced to juggle between multiple chickens. Since theirs so many different types of chickens it's so interesting seeing people develop different strategies with each one.
Very funny (and hard) game! There is so much potential on it, like a silly upgrade called "Use your other hand to catch a chicken too. You have two remember?" or items like chicken food to group them in a controlled manner. Amazing job

T.I.C.K (Time is conserved, kid)Very impressive amount of content for a 4 day jam! and the artwork is fantastic!
Little too hard imo maybe if the farmer was a little bit faster? making it easier to chase chickens
Cool concept nevertheless

Every Bullet CountsFun and chaotic but its hard to protect more than 1 chicken at a time. Feels like I have little control over the chickens

Counterstart - It Is On!
