Explosive ChickenChain

My first game and an entry for Doki Jam 2025!

Happy to throw something together and really proud even if it's not much :)

• WASD or arrow keys to move
• Mouse cursor to aim
• L-mouse-button to shoot -> turns enemies vulnerable
• R-mouse button to hit -> makes vulnerable enemies explode
• Killing enemies with explosions of others gives a higher score!
• Keep in mind you hit in the direction you walk (four directional) to and shoot in the direction you aim at (360°)
• Edit: You now shoot and hit both in the direction your cursor points to :) (see changelog)

I do hope to polish it in the future so feedback is appreciated! 
(Both for this game specifically as well as things to learn for future ones)
