Hello Ludum Dare'ers I'm Sakuyan, creator of SliP, DeaN, and LimiT for previous ludum dare~
Fowl Play is a simple speedy run type of game with a functioning timer ;-; (thank god)
Currently you cannot unlock the sword and shield (because "you only get one", not because I didn't finish on time...) :3c
BUUUUT I will be making post mortem game with fully functioning sword and shield(? Not sure about the shield maybe something else) and I'll try to keep updating via twitter (@hyungkim7) if you guys are interested :>
Thanks, and have fun clucking~

Hilarious! loved the the humor! besides the no audio thing awesome! looking for votes on my game as well if you can: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=20784
Very impressive for 48h. I just thought the game was a little bit of a cop out considering the theme. I still had fun, even if couldn't finish it (too hard for me).
Nice little jump & run. I had a lot of fun, but couldn't seem to hit the boss at all. Don't know where the theme came into it though.
Holy crap! Glorious submission!! Thank you, you made my day!
The controls were spot on! I would have loved to know what the mysterious man offering me a choice of weapon was more about. I really liked figuring out how to glide as a chicken, and would have loved more sci-fi chicken skills.
Did not post a time, died twice and accidentally closed it a third.
Oh awesome! I love this!
I think I liked one of your posts... yeah, very cool :)
The art is clean, style is great!
That's a challenge. Love the art style and controls feel really tight. The shooting pods are probably not as obvious as they could be, hard to spot+kill+guide a jump all at the same time.
I really enjoyed the chicken.... Your game was a lot of fun. Reallyyy enjoyed it.
Love the opening sequence with the scroll down to the chicken. I had fun even though I was getting owned. Nice work!
Oh my god this game is adorable. The art is gorgeous and the gameplay is fun. A+, fantastic work. Will definitely have to check out your previous entries.
The pixel art and gameplay are absolutly amazing. i like the humor and the concept. Good job
I loled on the chicken, and the game is cool, but it lacks a stronger link to the theme. Not being able to use the sword and shield is not the kinda theme approach I was expecting, at least if you could choose one from the three.
Beautiful animations, they really add a lot to the game. I like it.
Very entertaining! Explosions, flying chickens, robots - this is everything that a game should be. Great art (that opening cutscene had me hooked instantly).
Wow, Great quality. I don't really see the theme, but the game is quite fun !
I like the graphics, chiptune music. It's a very funny game. Gratz !
Finally, a game where I get to be a chicken! The movement is excellent.
Wonderful game! I loved the slowed fall speed, it really added an element of skill to the game. Those saws in the corner of the boss room were evil. Good job having a legitimate boss fight!
Haha this is really great. Good level design too, like the part where you are forced to learn the chicken can glide. Good job dood, be proud.
Pretty good game, nice pixel art and great chicken. found it pretty difficult though :)
Well made game. I didn't see much that made it unique or followed the theme.
Nice game! Chicken rules!
But I don't have a QWERTY keyboard :(.
I really liked the gameplay and the art was really good, I liked how it wasn't fancy but still worked really well. It was defifnitly fun to play. But I'm not sure how this actually fits with the theme. The audio was also very good, it fit really well with the game. Another one of my favorites this LD
OK, that was fun and looked good! Not my kind of game, though: I really have a heard time pointing with the mouse while side-scrolling. Maybe I just need more practice!
Anyway, fun concept & nice challenge.
Great stuff, loved the art style. The gliding/slow falling took a bit of mastering.
A solid platformer with a nice gliding flight mechanic. I like the graphics, too (except the background, which somehow doesn't fit the rest). Chickens, yeah :D
Gorgeous pixel art and really smooth platforming! Really impressive work for 48 hours. :)
Very funny! :) Reminds me or Nuclear Throne with their new character the Chicken! :D
I liked it! It was fun with nice graphics but I didn't see were the theme came in. Altogether nice game!
Very nice platformer. Loved the graphics and the player mechanics.
I felt a little bit of delay in how it played out, may have just been due to playing it in the web version..
But a cool game you've made here, I enjoyed your journals during the event.
Great submission! It's too bad the other two weapons didn't make it in (cuz really... you can only PICK one... cuz there IS only one lol). But great style, runs well, music was alright, sfx was fitting, the animations awesome! A sound for when the boss was taking hits could of made the battle better.
Really solid platforming engine and game. I like the floating mechanic. Not much else to say except I had fun! Oh and fantastic art :)
I had fun playing it and it looked great(chickens are always awesome). However it followed the theme a bit loosely.
Solid gameplay, tad hard but i assume you were aiming for that?
Is the web version working? Doesn't do anything other than load the splash screen (click on start does nothing).
couldn't finish it - too hard for me, but it was very fun and funny
I see the term solid being thrown around a lot, and I can't really thin of a better term. good polish, good humor, no obvious glitches or bugs. well done.
A very very strange idea for a game. It's like something off Action 52, only it works and has a degree of polish :D
1:56! Very fun but the controls could be better! Good job!
Cool game! The main character was hillarious, and the controls were precise.
It would be much better with more polishing. But i like it.
It's simple but fun. I loved the art, specially the opening scene.
I was able to beat in 1:43 :)
Why don't you check our game? We also used Construct.
Game's nice and well executed.
A couple of remarks:
- The sound of the player getting hit is terribly annoying
- It's quite easy to rush through the level without having to actually shoot something for a long part of it
Ultimately, it was fun. Really cute graphics.
Also, removing game features to fit the theme is funny.
Very nice game. A chicken with a gun? Haven't seen anything like this since Earthworm Jim. I like the emphasis on spreed running. I absolutely adore games with speed running in mind.
I liked it. I like both the foreground images as the background, but I'm not sure if I like them together much. Other than that, really fun!
Very nice art, and the mechanics are cool (but would be easier with a mouse rather than my trackpad :P) Doesn't particularly fit the theme, but it seems that's cause you ran out of time (I assume sword/shield were there for that intention)
Nice graphics and gameplay for 48 hours! It's fun to play as chicken and I loved the glide mechanic xD
Only thing I didn't understand is how does the theme fit into this game?
Overall nice game though :) looking forward to the post-compo version!
I really loved the controls! You did a good job making it not only look and move like a bird, but control like one. Nice.
Nice graphics. Bit music was driving me a little insane, but the sfx work for it. I think my favorite element is the chicken.. It may get a little too tricky too quickly?
The sound and lack of checkpoints broke me in the end, so I didn't finish :(
Overall pretty sweet!
Enjoyable game and excellent chicken. Difficulty curve felt spot on. Boss fight was cleverly signposted.

Very Cool! But the boss is invencible!
What? there is even a boss? Didn't even get this far... And I'm not talking about a short 5 min play session here o_O. Obviously my platformer skills are more than poor... Anyways a fun game! I mean a chicken with a laser gun... Instant winner :D
The graphics are funny but very well done. Helps with the whole mood of the game as with the music as well. Nicely done.
Works very well. Unfortunately I'm not a good platformed player, so I didn't came very far. Good graphics, very good control.
Ahahaha, this was awesome! A lil' hen wielding a gun being chased by homing missiles? Pure, unadulterated genius! Was hooked on to it, but the boss was hard, had to retry so many times, I was hooked onto it xD Though took me a while to figure out you had to shoot the yellow orb launcher ._.
Great graphics, gameplay and was fun!
Pretty weak on the theme, but otherwise solid platforming and fun combat.
I liked the bit of glide you gave the chicken. And the robo-chickens, of course.
Omg I laughed so hard when I saw the chicken :D
Really great game
Looks so good.
Reminds me of Alfred Chicken..!
Nice pixel play..
Loved the intro graphics and all. Didn't care much for the music but it was a enjoyable platformer.
Nice game! Well, everybody says that it's nice, so I'll point out things I didn't like.
You should made some noise/music at the beginning. That's not a big problem, but I had no idea if it has music at all, so I turned up my volume. And when I started playing, I had no time to turn it down.
Also, you made the boss easier by making the screen smaller, but at the same time you made it harder. Before, I could outrun all the missles by standing in the corner. In the post-LD version I had to shoot them. I guess that is more just, but keep it in mind anyway.
I think sawblades are too unforgiving. They are sometimes positioned so it takes accuracy to pass them. So, if I fail (and the chance is decent), I have to restart.
Also, when the boss shoots the first laser, missles duplicate. And enemy AI stutters sometimes.
It has a good potential, so you should continue developing it, like adding more levels. Oh, and I liked the original background as well, you might want to keep it.
This is great! Although the music got annoying fairly quick.
Awesome! I like the style, the graphics are good as well as the sounds and music, playability is great. I think it fits the theme quite well.
Chicken with a gun, fantastic :D would be 100x more badass if he had shades on though :P
One of the most fun games I've played. Really dug the glide mechanic. Final boss fight took me a bit to figure out how to damage the boss. I really wanted to go after the giant moving red screen. The yellow lights could have been more obvious. Great job!
Great but a little to hard the original version (which you attended to). Liked the ability to slightly hover a lot.
Nice look to the game and I love the floating when you jump!
I liked this game. It was fun! But I feel like there's still so much that can be added to it... I could be a way greater game.
For one (sorry D:) the music... it was funny... but didn't match the game and was somewhat annoying after some time. =X
I think that games like this should allow you to control your jump height. This would allow better controls.
But, all in all, the game felt really good and fun! It wasn't unfair in any way and every death was my own fault.
The controls were responsive, I didn't have trouble aiming and shooting at stuff and the boss was beatable. Also, the stage didn't feel too long or too short.
So, polish it, make the controls even better and add more levels! Then this will be really great. =D
Btw, I didn't play the post-mortem. All this was based on the compo version.
This is well done given the time allotted. Perhaps the backgrounds could be adjusted to go better with the platforms and characters. The chickens idle animation is cute. I guess its cool that it has a gun sure why not. I found the mouse aiming and gliding a little weird but I felt compelled to get better at it because the control is super tight otherwise. I don't think this is applicable to the theme at all and I had to give you and n/a.
A fun action platformer. I liked the art style, but the cannons were a little hard to see (might be intentional though).
very nice!. but the audio was a bit crunchy and its very hard to beat.
Nice job for 48hrs. Liked the art and platforming mechanics.
Very very nice! Love the graphics, love the music, love the game. Awesome job
I dont can play i dont know why.. :( blipblipblip! but its funy that chicken with gun!
haha really funny and cute, ace graphics and good sense of humor. loved it.
I like this graphics!it's very good! But I think that sound may be better! But Thank you for this good game!
Great game!
Fun little platformer. I wish I didn't only have a track pad at the moment!
Fun platformer. I like the way the chicken can shoot while moving in a different direction. The level design is bit tough but the nice control system helps (like floating on your wings). The music got a bit repetitive but overall this is a very good HTML based game.
The platforming is really solid, and the game looks awesome.
Fun game! I'm down with any game that gives a chicken a laser gun
feels like a really solid game. the graphics are great and the assets have nice animation, very smooth. Backgrounds are unusual and give the game an interesting visual style. very good game considering the time limit of the jam - well done!
Really polished and very nice concept, well implemented controllers as well.
The mood could have been improved by some audio. But I liked the fun of the game. Good job
Music and sound effects are great, mechanics are awesome, gameplay is okay. Overall this is a good game.
Very attractive, loved the combo of gliding and shooting with the mouse! Could do with some checkpoints... =)
Awesome pixel art graphics :)
Bonus points for using Construct2 !
Cool game. I love the chicken holding gun concept. The graphics and sound were really good.
I took me a while to figure out how to damage the boss. And the auto-target system was really helpful.
Good game with nice graphics and atmosphere. But I think it's a bit hard to control the game.
I really enjoyed playing this game. You might consider adding pause feature, since this is time based game :)
(Note: review is for the compo version of the game.)
Awesome graphics, sketchy and personal, and being able to swivel my gun around made me feel like a badass Hong Kong action movie chicken. Very challenging, but I kept going till the end. Very impressive.
Awesome game, beautiful art style and some wonderful chicken animations. Shame it doesn't actually use the theme, but I'll let that slide for the use of a feathered protagonist.
