Chicken Fall Reviews

Cute game, if requiring some strong tolerance of jank and confusion (both from translation and from just being a pretty confusing game and having some pretty weird mechanics). Had some release problems on controller but seems to work now. At its low price, I can give it some slack because it does do some novel and interesting things and end of the day it succeeds at being fun to play well, which is obviously the most important factor, but be aware this is very indie and not what one would call refined (especially the English/translation, but the game design is very kitchen sink). Also, be warned the multiplayer is of the variety where only the host receives actual progress, rather than genuine co-op. The guest shares coin rewards (fairly worthless) and can take resources instead of the host, but not progress. I hope it continues to develop, and that this dev can make this game as much as they dream for it to be, because their dreams seem worth seeing.

While this side-scrolling shooter shares some similarities to the classic flash games and the very-enjoyable 'Super Panda Adventures' in terms of gameplay mechanics, I found it frustrating that it does not seem to allow progress beyond the Hotel mission (Jungle Intelligence) The controls were responsive and shooting enemies was satisfying at first. However, after some time the levels started to feel repetitive without much variation in enemy or boss encounters. This is directly worsened with the player needing to play over 10 surveillance missions to be able to fight the Jungle boss. While you do gain access to a lot of cool gadgets as you progress- I wasn't able to purchase quite a few of my desired upgrades. Most disappointing of all is that the Hotel mission, no matter how many times replayed, cannot be completed or bypassed. This acts as a hard block to experiencing what could be an otherwise entertaining game, but unfortunately will turn most players off. Unless this blocker is addressed, I cannot recommend this title in its current state. The inability to advance the story before even getting to completing the first boss leaves one feeling like the time they wasted playing a small amount of levels did not amount to having a full experience. If the developers were to resolve this issue, I can definitely see myself enjoying the rest of the game and spending another 15-20 hours with it.

Fun but has a few issues that I hope are fixed. Problem 1) is the awful translation. A lot of words are accidentally combined together. This makes it confusing. Problem 2) When getting chicks to follow you to help fight, they don't follow you very well. For example when you jump, the chick following you jumps a second later instead of following you and jumping on the same platform. Instead they will just randomly jump. Very annoying. Problem 3) When selecting an item from the house and you click on the item, you also shoot your gun (costing you ammo). other than that, so far this is a pretty fun game, especially for the price.
