Our submission to the TairaGames Dev Squad January 2018 'Getting Over It' rage themed game jam.

Team: Concept, art, code, voiceover - Alex Wilding; Additional art, concept development, level design - Pavel Frantsouzov.

We now have an Android app available on the Google Play Store, follow the link below.

Our players tell us some bits of the game are too easy and not rage inducing enough, so we're working hard on Rage Chicken II: Rodney's Revenge which will feature lots of new art, more weird voiceover and much more infuriating level design.

Thanks to our beta testers: NicksonG, Newt @ TairaGames discord for your valuable feedback.

Hahaha excellent vid and good effort. The pencil is brutal huh! The mario pipes are an homage to flappy bird :)

how do you play the game on this?

cultofmidi3 years ago

click and drag

A2134993 years ago

i cant play the game directly from the website what do i do?

cultofmidi3 years ago

Click the red 'Download Now' button, then 'No thanks, just take me to the downloads' then click the red 'Download' button for your platform. Extract the zip file, usually by double clicking on it, then run 'rage_chicken_x64.exe' or 'RageChicken'

im on chrom OS

Hmm I'll see what I can do. We never made a web version but it shouldn't be too hard.

it'd be a lot cooler if it saved. maybe it does and I'm just dumb but with a game like this starting over every time simply because the game doesn't save isn't nearly as fun or encouraging as starting over because you've fallen or something.

cultofmidi3 years ago

You're not wrong, MooRooster, the game would be a lot more fun with save/load. The code is even in there, just not enabled. The reason for this is that the game is not supposed to be fun or encouraging. It's meant to be at least frustrating but hopefully enraging. That's why Pavel designed the map to have both escalating difficulty and penalty for failure. If you *really* want to save, you can run it in a virtual machine and take regular snapshots, but that wouldn't be Rage Chicken, just Chicken :)

Assuming everything you're using is a sprite (no polygons), have you considered using anti-aliasing (AA)? The pipes especially look bad without AA.

Godot can't do AA on polygons yet, but for sprites it should be fine.

cultofmidi6 years ago

Yeah, we kinda had to embrace the terrible graphics to get it done in time. Among our other sins are rotating and arbitrarily rescaling pixel art. We're working on the sequel right now, we'll be taking more care over the graphics although the gratuitously large (4x4) pixels are here to stay. If you're interested in alpha testing hit me up on the TairaGames discord sometime.

insomniac_lemon6 years ago

I am talking about the rotation or your art, not the art itself. Particularly I mean AA in the project settings of Godot, so your rotated pixel art looks better. Making 1:1 pixel art is more of a style issue.

I wouldn't mind testing, although I don't use Discord (I prefer IRC).

i tried it with my mac but the keys don't work, is there a specific key or action you have to do?

cultofmidi6 years ago

It's a mouse game :)

Would love to play it, could you upload a Linux build please?

cultofmidi6 years ago

There you go friendo! Please let me know if it works, I don't have a linux machine here to test it.

This is a known bug and fixed in Godot 3 beta 2. Please use beta2 or rc1 :-)

cultofmidi6 years ago

Nice one, thanks for the detailed report. I'll recompile it with Beta 2.

cultofmidi6 years ago

OK, I've recompiled it with beta 2. Hopefully that will work

Onur Aslan6 years ago

Yes, it's working fine now. Thanks!

cultofmidi6 years ago

Great!!! Thanks and enjoy :)

The Linux download currently only shows up on the Linux-mentioning news page... not even on the downloads page from there.

Although you should be able to include the Linux executable with in the same .zip as the Windows one (maybe the MacOS one too, if they're all using the same .pck file like it seems like they should).

cultofmidi6 years ago(+1)

I had to make some changes to the Linux build, so it was taken down for a day. It should be back up now! Please let me know if you have any problems getting it to run.

That's a good idea putting all the executables in one zip, it's how I like to download games, though it may be confusing to less technically proficient players.
