Chicken Defense

An open source microgame where you defend your chicken coop from sneaky snakes and fiendish foxes!

Chickens will automatically spawn periodically. Obviously, chickens lay eggs. Use the eggs to spawn Llamas to defend the chickens! If all your chickens are eaten by foxes, you lose! Foxes only target chickens, snakes only target eggs.

This microgame was created as a means to show and teach how different aspects of a game can be created. The full project can be found on GitHub. Simply follow the setup instructions and you can start implementing some challenges, tweak settings, and add new features!

If you're interested in learning how specific components of this game were made, you can also check out the LlamAcademy YouTube Channel where you can find step-by-step tutorials implementing the majority of this game.

If this game helped you learn something of value, consider donating here on Itch.io, becoming a Youtube Member or a Patreon Supporter to say thanks. It takes a considerable amount of time to put together these projects and tutorials and every bit helps keep it all going.

All YouTube videos come with the full project on GitHub so you can always play with exactly what you saw on the tutorial.
