Chicken Break Game
This is the game, Chicken Break!
Features:
This game bases on the life of an egg. On every level, the player must find the key that opens the fence to the next level
Platform/System: Web standard (Html5, Java, JavaScript, Flash)
Brief Play Description: Each level is a puzzle: its objective is to find the key to the lock(placed on the right side of the level) and access the next level.
The egg evolves by eating a certain quantity of grain. This is the means to finding the key. When the player eats the food, it changes cyclically its form (egg -> chick -> hen -> old fat hen -> egg again)
Each evolution has its power:
- egg -> can roll thorugh low holes
- chick -> jump (up)
- hen -> can glide while jumping (hold up)
- old fat hen -> can defeat enemies by jumping over them.
Controls: The player is controlled via WASD or direction keys
Basically, in this project I take part in the game design, character design and 2D animation character.
This photo shows the main character in four states: egg,chick, hen and old fat hen.
