I liked this one. The animation of feet spinning in a wheel like that was pretty hilarious. The idea of sticking to ceilings like that was also pretty cool! I almost beat it, but I couldn't get the last two nests (they were the ones up on the top-left).

I love the sticking to ceilings thing! It's a shame it's not completable.

Best title ever. I was a bit confused at first as two why I was killing the chickens, but then I realized I could capture their nests.

Pretty cool idea!

Cool game. The ceiling sticking took a bit of getting used to but it was an interesting way of moving about a level once figured out.

The only frustrating thing about the game was that it was unpredictable which way nearby fighting chickens would move and/or when one would pop out when capturing a nest.

Well, the graphics and sound are nice, but I couldn't figure out how to even get past some of the first obstacles because my character couldn't jump very high.

I loved the sticking to the roof mechanism - i wonder if this feature originated as a physics bug but you decided to make it a gameplay element :P

I didnt find that launching the chickens at the other chickens made an effective weapon; more often than not, it was just one more chicken to avoid touching rather than a useful distraction for the zombie chickens. I liked the electronic looking ones which come out of a radio shaped hive.

Music was repetative, and no sound effects, so only 1 star for audio.

I found it very hard to navigate the level - at one point I ended up in an area with two giant round yellow chickens, but I died trying to sabotage their nests, and couldnt find that area again. I heard there was a level design issue, did I nearly manage to complete it? I cant get the last 2 hives and I think there were 2 hives in this area.

Great game! Love the music and concept. The sticking to the ceiling mechanic worked well, but I can't help thinking "How does a chicken stick to the ceiling?"

If I were to change anything, it'd be the controls. Most platform games I've seen have used the space bar for jumping, so I kept throwing chickens when I meant to jump (usually resulting in them beating me to death).

I want to like this game, but it was too hard for me. Couldn't seem to jump high enough.

Want to like this game, but I couldn't seem to get by the first part. Didn't seem to jump high enough or something.
