It's short and some fun, but I doubt it could keep up the motivation if it were any longer. Also doesn't have all that much to do with the theme.

I like the extra feature of being able to squash the eggs with your vehicle :) Play's nice, not too hard. The models could use a few textures though.
Nice to see there's people using the new Java stuff (start from web, and the opengl binding). :) But the game itself felt quite unfinished and not sticking to the theme very well.
I like how the chicken's have a life cycle, and the sounds, though few, are really fitting. Otherwise, it's a pretty generic idea.
Minimap is very nice.
Well, there are chickens.
a small map during the 3D-View would be better. So I played most of the time in "Map-Mode" so that I can see where the chicken leave the zone.
I had problems with Java Web Start, so at first I thought it was broken, but then I could play it(In Window only though). I think that models need more detail (they seem only a silouette not a chicken, or it's only my video card?). Anyways the game is good but I thinks it needs more game play.
Yay for java + 3d :) I really like the chicken models and the sounds... Gameplay isn't very challenging but it's neat nonetheless.
if you dont kill everything straight away my machine gets too slow to play... kinda funny tho
