Shotgun Chicken Reviews

After falling back to the start for the 18th time, I realised I was addicted as I started climb #19

Simple, yet surprisingly difficult and potentially addictive!

I have enjoyed this game a lot. It's short but challenging. A good short distraction.

A fun and challenging game. The physics feels amazing and its such a joy to play.

A pretty great game about a chicken and a shotgun and a pleasantly hard difficulty curve.

Really challenging and interesting concept. I would love to have a windowed mode, so I can easily play and watch. The game is really hard as well, but I like the momentum you can gain while shooting at the right time.

At first glance it seems like an extremely simple game as there's only one control (left mouse button). However, as you try to jump from platform to platform you'll notice that there are no checkpoints and you can always fall down to the start of the level. Really challenging, great style, fitting music - would recommend.

Very much like Getting Over it. There is screen tearing almost every time you fire the shotgun though. It's very unfortunate that there is never an opportunity to chain shotgun blasts on the ground since it will send you downwards unless you have speedrunner or TAS level skill. Also as far as I have gotten you don't get an upgrade to the shotgun to get double or triple blasts in the air. The later platforms would need to be adjusted to require more shotgun blasts too.

This game is like if Flappy Bird had a gun. It's extremely difficult and unforgiving. Highly recommended for all who like a challenge.

Found this game through the "random game" tab on speedrun.com and it's actually a gem I figured I'd try it because the record looked beatable and pretty fun and it definitely was. Also got a couple of my speedrun buddies into it as well so I hope to see some more runs on the leaderboard soon!
