Chicken Run!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Made for the Godot wild jam! (Sorry for no html5 export, it is a 3D game so we apologize for the inconvenience).
Play as a curious chicken named Jerlin (he/hen) who needs to save as many of her eggs as possible! Run around the farm gathering eggs by pointing your mouse cursor, but watch out for the meteors raining down upon you. You will not die from them, but your little babies will. Gather as many baby chickens as possible by the end to get your high score!

Cute little game, but definitely could be better. First off, I don't really feel compelled to keep going after a while, it all just feels repetitive. Add a little bit of variety, like different types/colors of eggs that make you faster/stop meteors/etc, or a little bit of variety in the map design. A couple of obstacles could go a long way.
Also, I feel kind of helpless when I'm playing this. There's no good indicator of where the bomb's gonna land, and with the slow movement speed & large bomb radius, all your progress can just be wiped. One easy fix is to have a coop along a fence where you can deposit chicks and save some of your score. I would have four coops and give each of them a cooldown, so the player has to be moving around more instead of just hugging one side. Also, don't have the shadow move as much. I'm not saying you have to have the shadow right above the spot, but make it a little less unknown to the player.
Keep it up!
Thanks for the review! I totally agree with both aspects that you covered. If I had better time management I would've made it more complex and less repetitive. Plus, I will try to make it more skill based instead of luck after the jam ends.
