The best thing I did for my chicken game this week was leave my desk.
Two days at Indigo just playing other devs' games + getting feedback. Came back full of ideas.

A player said my team colors looked like decoration. He was right.
So I moved it to a ring under each chicken and shipped it the same day.
What should I add to Cluster Cluck next?

I thought I was just making a racing game.
Took it to a meetup in Amsterdam. 5 strangers played it and they all mentioned the same mechanic..something the game couldn't do yet.
Turns out it's also a sabotage game. Building it now.

Players kept dying in the same two water lanes and said it felt broken. Not hard, broken. The lanes looked identical. No readable gap.
Fix: dramatically different speeds, opposite directions.
Hard is fine. Unreadable isn't.

Almost half the people who finished my game tried to share their result. The win screen wasn't even good yet.
21 players. 10 tapped share. 9 completed it. The win modal shipped today.
