Community Insight:
Playing with a controller fixed the game.
This game is a very action packed and unique platformer. The mechanics are cool, levels fun, and bosses creative and challenging. But the touchscreen controls are kinda annoying. Still an easy 5/5 stars.
This game is worth every penny, its so amazing and the satisfaction of figuring out the puzzles yourself is incredible. Its a perfect blend of hard and easy, and the bosses are perfect and easy to figure out. We recommend this to anyone whos looking to buy this wonderful game.
If Mario were to fluck Samus and birth a plump chicken bomb clucker, this is exactly what youd get.
This game is so fun we wish we were a little early in the game but if the game was it real we would scream and cry all year and all our homeboys here in our life life is so unfair but its good that we got the game gift card.
This game is absolutely great honestly. Action packed and all, we just wish the graphics would be brighter like Leap Day.
We've been a fan of Nitrome for many years and this once again shatters our expectations. Somwtimes media hits just right, does everything we wish it would and what we didn't even know we wanted. And this is no exception. The art, the sound, the gameplay, it's all dazzling. Please play it, you won't regret it.
Very good game. Everything Nitrome does is high quality.
Could use a few more levels, though.
This is so far our favorite game in our iPad. This platformer has no flaws! The art style is amazing and is very fun. The game is hard, unique and fun. We play this game with our Xbox controller to play this game because its more easy and fun. Its also nice that you have to double check the stages for any missing gems. We recommend others buying this game, trust us this game is worth every penny.
Worth picking up! Controls might feel weird but nothing you cant get used to. Funny, clever and charming pixel platformer.
Not the best dye room of motion.
We know Reston 95 just have to try.
We Wish That There Is Sound AND Music.
This is a great game and you can tell right away the developers put a lot into it. No doubt about it, this game is tough, but since when did "tough" become one-star bad? Like seriously? If you want a game that's going to be easy go play Barbie Vacation or some other junk. This is a great game worthy of praise.
The games perfect its our favorite game but the controls sometimes dont work and the first boss was really hard other than that the games flawless also the last boss was very hard you should add a revive button when you die and add more levels like bfc creates a new restaurant called like for example chicksalsa or something.
First off, this is a top notch Nitrome made game, as usual. We used to play their flash games in our browser many years ago and the move to mobile hasnt damaged their quality. Anyway, its great and fun but the sound doesnt work for us. We assume its a bug, but Id love to hear the sound effects.
Dont get us wrong, the controls are good, but they would be so much better if when we took our finger off the screen a little everything we were doing didnt immediately stop.
This game has an incredible amount of visual polish. However, like many have said, the controls are quite poor. The game demands a general level of precision from the player, but the controls fight against you making it difficult to feel like youre fully in control. The controls also cause our thumb to cramp up in ways that Ive never experienced before. We hope that the devs might consider an alternative control scheme that doesnt require a finger being on the screen at all times. Looking forward to future updates.
We really like what ive played of the game so far. But the main control, swiping up for a bomb works around 1 in every 5 times you swipe, which just means the player ends up dying unnecessarily a lot. Really hope the developer playtests on more devices and tweaks this pretty fundamental control. We want to play the rest of the game but its currently getting in the way.
This is an amazing game and its fun but when youre moving sometimes the chicken will just stop moving and this makes the game very annoying and hard to play.
Graphics horrible way too much money and the game itself overall is bad dont get it.
Bought it clearly saying free on button later got charged now cant return.
Game was bought by accident anyway we Can get our refund.
A really well designed game with fun mechanics that make use of the rooms that you travel through. This game would be 5 stars… If the touch controls werent absolute garbage. Swiping left to right to move left to right is the worst, most times the game doesnt detect your swipes or even worst it will cut your movement in the middle of a tight jump.
Very frustrating to play with touch controls.
