Very funny!
Another one harder than it looked for me. My reflexes didn't take to judging how long it takes to hold down the charger to launch the chicken a certain distance.
Def high marks on the art and humor.
By the way,

It happens to be their 10th anniversary! So I don't program myself ... so I am unleasing Weapons Grade Enthusiasm!
If you stop by DonationCoder, please put in the code/tag LudumDare-Tao so they will know it's my doings that brought you in! I'm not
part of any of the site structure ... just doing my bit for my favorite site on the net!
Also over there, I post a few of my detailed reviews of some LD games.

Chickens as projectiles? hell yeah !
Very simple concept, the simplicity makes it fun for playing.
Good.
Haha, this game is awesome. Really funny idea, and pretty enjoyable gameplay. Nice job! I also love the graphics, very colourful.

The game is very simple and fun. It's just a little tricky to aim.
Fun game. I like the graphics, and the concept is funny.
The main suggestion I have would be to give some kind of visual display that shows how much power will apply to your throw, like a "power meter" in a golf game, or something.
Nice job.

There is a power meter at the bottom, not very visible, but it is there :)
Felt like i should have read the instructions or something, because things were not going my way. Fun game though! Very decent looking and good gameplay.
hahaha, man, i love the concept. and the art style, the robots look like super ultra megaman from south park, its great
+ I like this game's idea and whacky theme that creatively works with the given challenge.
- I wasn't too fond of the throwing mechanic, it felt kinda clunky to use. Without a guide as to where I am throwing it's difficult to judge.
+ I liked the models of the different chickens.
- Movement feels very floaty.
Overall, I think this is a neat game with a bit of humor mixed in.
Exploding Chickens! Genious! I like the art of the chickens and how the scenario looks overall. The biggest problem I can find is that it's hard to aim. But of course, they are chickens :D

Very fun, but maybe not the most sound mechanically.
Throwing while moving was impossible, and really hard to get distance right.
But I still had fun, haha. Cool idea

This is a fun game but a "gun sight" would be helpful because there's no way to know where I'm targeting unless some chickens are thrown :)
A bit difficult at first, but was still fun.

Poor bomb chickens haha
Good entry, but I did not understand how I'm I supposed to switch colors, because red enemies were coming and I only has yellow chicken.
Aiming was a bit difficult, and I guess I'm not very good at judging distances in game. Good work and an interesting concept.
I wish this game had has some sound. It was really lacking in that department, which is sad because it was a really fun and interesting game! I liked the different chickens and it was a really smooth game!

A good idea and great fun. The robots are a bit slow and there is missing some cool chickens sound.
Strange when I load I get "Serious Solids v2"??

Holy cow, Thank you! fixed. Accidentally overridden the files while working on something for work :S
Making a game about throwing explosive chickens at robots without sound is rough! Oh well. Next time.
Beautiful chickens.
I get the desire to force the player to make decisions about which chickens are thrown, but when the benefits and graphics depicting those differences are so minor, I'm not sure that's something most players will manage to do.
Funny game! I thought the chickens were pretty well balanced. Controls worked well, but it does take practice to get the hang of it. Good job!
Awkward controls since you can't aim with mouse, but had a lot fun nonetheless. Fun game and idea. = D
