Egg Chicken

Collect the chickens to hatch more eggs or buy more time. The rare gold chickens are worth 6 normal chickens. Try to get a high score and be careful not to crack the eggs!

Controls:

  • Use the mouse and left-click to send chickens to be spent on eggs, or right-click to be spent on more time and increase your score.
  • Use esc to pause/resume the game. The pause menu can be used to see what the upgrades do.

You can play this game in the browser or download the original version for Windows. Enjoy :)

I made this game for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, for which the theme was "Roles Reversed". I then updated this game for the Post Jam "Jam" #7.

Updates:

  • Improved the controls from clicking and dragging the chickens to a left/right-click system
  • Difficulty increases the longer you survive:
    • Chickens get faster
    • Timer decreases more quickly
  • Upgrades can be purchased with score
    • Golden chickens appear more frequently
    • Slow down the chickens
  • Minor bug fixes

This is an interesting concept! The visuals are are nice, just the right amount of silliness and clean presentation. The rules are pretty intuitive too, I was able to learn them just by playing and trying things out. Great job!

Thank you for playing and for the kind feedback!
