How does the game fit the theme?
Players must make risky decisions—do they enter a room knowing the dimension will shift and the door will lock behind them? Strategic risk-taking is essential to achieve a top score.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

What a nerdy little game. Once you figure out the pattern, there is no more risk, and your time depends entirely on where the chickens spawn and need to be delivered to; no risk, no luck. So, the gameplay fun part was figuring it out!
What awesome voice acting! What cool fun graphics! Where is my biscuit?
Thanks a lot for playing our risk free chicken game 🤓
The voice acting is just awesome! This is a very cool project!
Thank you, we had a lot of fun recording all the lines.
I actually played this before the jam was over (wasted a good 10 minutes from actually jamming) and played it again now! The environment and surrounding is very, very good for a game jam, with it making me feel like I'm actually playing on top of an office building.
A couple minor complaints, first of RNG. Due to how slow the robot is, it's a lot harder to achieve a better time if a chicken spawns in with inconvenient colours/in bad locations/both.
The robot being this slow also makes the gameplay very slow, which does incentivize planning out instead of going blind for it, which is fine but as you are trying to implement risk, this doesn't really fit. This also makes it more annoying to play again as it's very punishing with bad RNG, which kind of defeats the point of trying to get a high score. I could see the robot being slightly faster.
Unfortunately, this game is a puzzle game, which makes it hard to implement risk. This game really doesn't have any risk, as planning ahead and remembering rooms always guarantees a short path.
The music is quite good, and the art style is very distinct and special. I like the chickens drawing and the robot model, they look very in-depth.
This is a rather innovative puzzle game, needing you to not only remember the rooms for faster success but also plan out how you want to reach your destination correctly in as fast a time as possible. I really like how you can use the chicken cam to see the location of where to place the chicken behind you, it's quite unique identifying the goal like this.
Like I said, the environments and the surroundings are top-notch, and along with all the funny voice lines, this makes for one of the most polished games I've seen. Kudos on making such a polished game in the timeframe!
Overall, a pretty good and VERY well-polished game that suffers a bit from theming issues and slow-paced gameplay. Good job!
Thank you so much for the detailed comments. Yes, the RNG can be unfortunate. Maybe with a little more time we could have changed this to a fixed set of challenges instead. It’s cool that you explicitly mentioned the models, the music and the environment - we are quite proud of that.
XD great !! the chicken selfie cam is obviously a key feature haha ! kinda frustrated i can't move diagonaly but otherwise great work ! love it !
We thought it was important that chickens should be able to take selfies too. Thanks for your comment!
Extremely weird, in a good way. It took me a bit to wrap my head around the mechanic, but was great after that.
As others have mentioned though, diagonal walking would be a an extremely welcome addition, as walking feels pretty stiff as it is.
Thanks for your feedback!
Really unusual game in a good way!
Love the visuals and sounds.
It says it was made in Unity. but why it starts without Unity splash screen? So many questions xD
You can actually turn off the splash screen. Thanks for your nice comment 😊
Are you using paid license? In free version I don't think that can be done, or maybe I haven't researched it well enough
We have the free license. It can be done there as well.
What a weird game! Really nice work on the models and v/o lines. fwiw it ran smoothly on my laptop, I have a pretty old thinkpad w/ integrated graphics.
Thanks, good to know that it ran well 😊
Really unique and something new, loved the voice lines. Although not having diagonal movement was a bit annoying and no free camera as well
Thank you for your comment. We deliberately wanted to restrict the camera to increase the challenge but it would be interesting to try it out with a free one.
Interesting idea! I liked the voice acting, and the premise was interesting. Unfortunately the web build runs very poorly so I found it hard to play :( From what I saw, it would've been nice to have a different view of the area to be able to plan a little better, even if it didn't show you exactly what number each room was. Cool stuff!
Hey thanks for the feedback. What do you mean by it running poorly? We deliberately tested it on weak machines as well. What are you using to run it?
I love the puzzle and thinking I had to do while playing! The movement felt a little clunky but wasn't that bad. Loved the music and I wish the chickens had more voice lines. Very fun!
Hey thanks,you are the first one asking for more chicken voice lines 😁
This game had me at "...chicken in the correct room and dimension"! How did you come up with this?
Any game with a Chicken Selfie Cam is a 10/10 in my book.
Oh this is a long story… But we are glad you like it 😁
I found the music to be excellent. The voice acting was good but it become a bit annoying during the end of the game.
I wonder if adding a time limit would make things more interesting, just the timer did not made me feel a sense of urgency.
The character animation is neat!
We decided against a fixed timer to not pressure players too much. Could be interesting to try.
Great job, especially with that music! Would like to see if hens manage to come up with even more complicated routes, hope by that time interdimensional police will figure out how to allow diagonal movement without making infinite checkpoints.
Love this commen!
well that is something it to me a bit to figure out but when i got it i facepalmed fun and goofy great job🤣👍i like the voice acting
Heehee thanks!
Love the start page so much, and the audio is excellent as well
Thank you!
thats mind breaking, but fun. Also voice acting is cool. and main theme is BANGER OMG!!!!!!
Thanks a lot, we did the voice acting and the music ourselves so this means a lot.
I remember playing this game just after submissions opened for the first time. The constant head scratching on how to get to different areas was fun. I am a little confused how it fits with the theme. the chickens are funny tho.
Hey thank you!
Funny concept! The chickens made the game a blast to play
Thanks a lot 😁
