December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
My second Ludum Dare Entry!
The premise is you're an archer with only one arrow! Monsters/chickens are attacking you and you must defend yourself.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I couldn't fling a head at anyone! Cool concept.
It was pretty hard... I didnt like that the chickens could kill you after you shot them. But it was fun overall!
I've seen this idea from someone else today, but they did zombies. Chickens are better, especially when they're running about sans head. The sound was a little repetitive though.
This needs more content! It's an awesome game, would have loved to play more!
Silly, stupid fun. The enemies are a bit too relentless in their pursuit.
Never thought I would be killed by headless chicken, not even in game! :-D
This such a simple idea/game yet it's so addicting and fun I could stop playing it. It felt a little bit like dark souls that frustrating task of what happens next first it was oh chickens can kill me after they're dead then it was oh god a snake then it was the knight and trying to figure out the portal, such a good game. mad props!
I died? To a headless chicken? For that, I salute you. Nice basic concept.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Good job finishing a game!
