  FUN FACTS & BEHIND-THE-SCENES   

Cluck 'n' Run started as a simple graphics test that unexpectedly turned into this cute mini-game. Initially, I was simply adapting some pixel art in RPG Maker and created a small demo map. I then tested random animations with adorable pixel chickens. They ended up being so cute that I couldn't just let the project go. So, I built a mini-game around them. 🐥✨

Developing Cluck 'n' Run in RPG Maker was a fun challenge, especially as I aimed for the retro style of NES games and the simplicity of Atari gameplay. I had to strip away all modern elements like menus and touch controls to achieve that old-school feel. 🕹️

I love the cozy atmosphere of the game, that soon ramps up to some fun action. Plus, I enjoyed spending some extra time to create a delightful surprise waiting for players who beat all the difficulty levels! 🥇 

Interestingly, this is my third chicken-themed mini-game — only realizing this after finishing the project! But this time, instead of chasing the chicken, you get to step into it's feathers! 😂

I hope you enjoy the charming aesthetic of the game. Please leave a comment below, and I might even consider creating a tutorial on how to build this mini-game in RPG Maker. 🚀 

Thanks for playing,
