As is the custom with shoot-'em-up games, any time the player loses a life, any power-ups are lost too. Power-ups look like gifts that must be collected in order to be used. As the game progresses, the player can earn power-ups that help him or her to score points and defeat the chickens more easily. The essential premise of the game is that of a single, sole spaceship battling their unlikely adversaries, scientifically advanced and technologically superior alien chickens! There is a strong undercurrent of humour that adds charm and charisma to the game, while those who are only interested in the gameplay will be satisfied with the strong shooter weapons, power-ups and bonuses.Īs the lone spaceship progresses through space, varying waves of chickens flood cross the screen and the player must defeat them. Each new incarnation features new wave formations and slightly different power-ups and damages, which keeps the game fresh and new for players, both new and old.Ĭhicken Invaders is great for players who take a child-like delight in the absurd and also for fans of quirky space science fiction movies and literature.

The five games are, in chronological order, Chicken Invaders, Chicken Invaders II: the Next Wave, Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk, Chicken Invaders 4: Ultim2e Omelette and Chicken Invaders 5: Cluck of the Dark Side. There are also three special episodes available: each named for a holiday period, namely Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. The game has been updated at least five times, demonstrating its great popularity. Chicken Invaders is an addictive and deceptively simple shoot-'em-up from InterAction Studios.
