Thinking this is like an over-tuned flappy bird/ dino jump game with an interaction twist in game play - also with mysteric environment and real ideas for a story cartoon.

There are much detail Graphics in the game World, but also there is also not much time to pay attention into details. So if this would be non-auto scroller game, there could be more time to "watch the art"/pay attention at the details".

Game fits the both as a game; adult and children, well. "Off the table" when finished stage also a very clever impression, imo; cleared the stage, but also "skipped it at dinner".

Not sure if i got the story correct (before reading any instructions about game's lore); unlucky roaster got the chick pregnant just before the kingdom farm slaughter days, so the roaster has to try to save whole family while the chick is too weak to walk but just round to be rolled.

In game also liked the idea of "interaction" twist for grab hooks - maybe even suitable for doors/gates, explosions, upgrades, gadgets/item swap or pick up, parachutes, teleport, or something like that beside the jumping.

I would recommend to add life points and/or checkpoints at least for a game mode version or just into easy mode as an addition, and for a reasons:

- under the each hook point/bat there are always a pit (death), and not sure how much power should to reach over it- so failure often happens, and

- each estimation miss match failure takes game backwards 30 second for a repetition - so the checkpoint would with before each set of traps (Player could have Limited lives/ retries times before patrial/complete level restart?), and

- since you already have included the checkpoints in the game, adding more check points would be easy to test out for game play.

Also highly would recommend (-> i missed) the mouse controls for pc version; right click to interact and left mouse button for the jump. Mouse controls would be suitable addition for a reaction-based game.

An idea for trap details: traps or trap variations would be dark/or Black out, but have shine around it. When chicken touch trap item, trap being reveal / launched (-> death trap action begin) - can be knife, hammer, gun, flame, ice, or weapons like that. Player could find out different deaths/traps, so chickens being trapped/killed would not be "only punishment", but also reveal something new (and even laughable) to player at the same time.

In my opinion this is a ready-to-launch game title, especially for android/ios devices, after maybe few difficulty/game speed/graphic tuning (i think the ground platform graphic is too dark/pixelated right now)

Reminds Zombie tsunami or Jetpack joyride games, but with twists based/related for this title.

Not a "flappy bird"- game because this include much more content and depth.

After launch could need more playable content, also monetization.

I really liked the atmosphere and the sound, it's pretty fun and I lost track of time. I also liked that you can choose the difficulty level and other modes. To be honest, I really liked the carnival mode, as you collect the coins, the melody plays.

Hi! I played Uninvited Chickos and recorded it 🎃

I must say one thing first: rhythm games are very hard for me. I was just born like this 😅 But the design is really cool, the levels look great, and the music and the sounds are cool too.

The swing on the hook is my favourite part. You fly further and further, and it feels so good. I want to remember this idea! It also made me think of Flappy Bird. And when I play badly, the music gets worse too. Did you make it like that on purpose? I played on easy, and it's good that you can pick the level. I finished all three levels: 43 deaths, but I escaped the feast 😄

Small notes: the text at the start goes away too fast to read. With the bats, I pressed Space many times and sometimes nothing happened, so in the middle I got a little bit angry. But overall it's fun, with a really funny atmosphere, and I think it can win this jam. Thank you, and happy Halloween!

🎬 I recorded my play!

▶ Watch: Uninvited Chickos, let's play (31 min)

Thank you for this game! 🎃

Poor Goblins having to go hungry, great fun, well done.

Cool game! Visual, sounds and gameplay are awesome!

I went to try it to see if it was fun and keep playing like 15 minutes. Nice visuals and overall fun.

A very fun game! Awesome work mate!

The game looks, plays and sounds amazing!

The only thing I would have liked is a harder level.

Amazing job! My favourite entry of the jam so far. The game feels great to play and the presentation is so polished. I love all the details that you put into the game animations and UI. You managed to do a lot as a solo developer, even with the help of AI. Great work! 😄

Nice idea to add different retro styles!

Fun little side scroller! Reminds me a lot of the old days of Geometry Dash! I always love a good rhythm game! 

I'm struggling with the grabing the hook bit,.. (on Normal)
Im holding the E key, the thing to grab highlights, but nothing happens. As no one else in comments mentions it, maybe I've just not got the knack :P. any tips?

Nice animations and set up, and speed of camera scroll and upcoming dangers is good.

nice animations haha i love the animations that makes the game funny

Equal parts fun, addictive and terrifying! A thoroughly polished game with loads of fun content and extra modes. Although I fear that theme will be haunting my dreams tonight... Highly recommended!

Great game! Loved the look and especially the humour of it. I wasn't very good at actually playing but I did a number of rounds and enjoyed myself. Very good submission. 

Hello,

The graphics are amazing and fit very well together, the sound effects and music were good, the intro screen felt almost professional in terms of art, I also liked the intro story and animations, you did very well, for the gameplay I wasn't too sure if it was me being bad, but I couldn't reach any checkpoint, so I had to start at the beginning every time, I also liked that it moved itself, I only had to worry about the jumps and hooks, very good entry! :)

I absolutely love the art style! The pixel art is incredibly detailed and immersive, while keeping that lighthearted, playful charm that reminds me so much of classic indie games from the 90s. The music is fantastic too, perfectly matching the visuals and really making you feel like you're playing on an old-school console. Everything comes together to create such a lovely retro atmosphere. Definitely an experience I'd recommend!

Great game and pure chicken :D Really got hooked and needed to finish it while getting frustrated to always start over after each mistake :D

I really enjoyed playing it, nice work!

Sorry  i cant play  your game... its so good  i feel bad  for the chickens each time i die ahah  
nah for real  gg  it reminds me of  geometry dash.
