Pluck'n Stuff
A game made by Cannibal Raspberries
Can you master the frustrating QWOP inspired controls, keep track of the count during chaos, and fill the mattress to perfection?
Pluck'n Stuff is a game where you have to pluck birds, stuff various items with a number of down to gain experience and progress through different items and different birds!
How to Play:
Use WASD or the arrow keys, as well as the mouse to move the arm around
Use the mouse button to click things or pinch.
Flick the wrist in order to pluck birds.
Place the feathers JUST inside the opening to the item to fill it. Too high or too low and you will drop the feathers.
To play in full-screen mode, please use the right-side full-screen button (the one with four arrows) due to view port issues for some resolutions.
This was created for the GMTK Game Jam 2026
The theme was: Count Down
The small, insulating feathers on birds are known as featherdown, or, 'down' for short. We wanted to make a game where you were physically counting the down feathers, and have represented that by having the player keep track of the number of down they have stuffed into each object in their heads to reach a better score.
Thanks for playing!

Song Lyrics
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken
Pluck 'n Stuff!
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, Goose!
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken,
Duck duck duck,
Don't pluck more than you can use!
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken,
Pluck that feather!
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, Goose!
Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken,
Duck duck duck,
All that down that they produce!

Fun art style and animation, good song, but it is difficult to catch the chickens and nothing seems to happen when I drop the feathers into the bag. I tried to drop it directly into the hole in the middle as well but nothing was happening, so I'm not quite sure what I was supposed to do.
It IS difficult, but intentionally so. We were inspired by the classic QWOP game, as well as WarioWare. :D There's supposed to be a different sound for when the feathers go in the item correctly, and it will fill up as you put in more feathers. squishing the little yellow button in the top left corner shows you how well you counted!
Either way, thank's for playing the game!
Definitely a unique interpretation of the prompt lol. The art was really well done, although the z-ordering was a bit buggy at times. The way the arm moved was nice; however, I thought the game could have been a bit more forgiving. It was a bit too difficult to catch the chicken, and the stuffing hitbox was pretty small. The music was also such an earworm; I'll be singing that in my head for weeks.
great art, animations, sound, music , feel, narration and fun . Unfortunately the game play is not as good. the goal is not fun. but i liked how the fingers move and you have to catch the chickens and flick your hand. just wished the goal was better and there was a fail condition.
Ok that song though is amazing. I am not gonna lie I lost track of the feathers cause I was laughing at the song xD
That is exactly the type of reaction we were hoping for haha! Thanks for playing!
