Chicku is a nail bitingly hard platformer in which the player has to escape the Barrington farm. You’ll be forced to dodge saws, spikes and many other deadly traps in order to save your brethren and rise against the evil Dr. Barrington. Play alone or with friends in this epic adventure and slaughter save millions of chickens along the way.
When you’re done saving your species, challenge your friends’ flying skills or their ability to handle a weapon in the bloodthirsty cockfight arena.
Also, why not wear a fancy hat while you do it?
Playing with a controller/gamepad is highly recommended
Features:
- Explore six major environments with well over 200 maps.
- Local multiplayer, play together with friends. Just as easy as picking up your controller and pushing a button.
- Master the maps to gather coins to unlock cosmetics.
- Learn to fly as a chicken! A unique way of controlling the character which is easy to learn, but hard to master!
- Replay your favorite environments in our new brawl mode with crazy modifiers to alter the gameplay.

A Hilarious Platformer / Arena Game
+ Extremely gruesome deaths, you will see chickens die in the worst of ways with blood splattering everywhere
+ You can continue to flap around after your head, legs, or both get chopped off
+ Loads of content (description says over 200 maps!)
+ Local-Multiplayer allowing you to play co-op through the main game or in the cockfight arena
+ The levels themselves look great with some 3D detailed environments with some great lighting and shadows
+ Unlockable hats and modifiers to enhance the arena mode
+ Very challenging, expect to die a lot!
This game is in Early Access so don't take these too seriously
- The "thrusting" ability is hard to use, I'd often end up going upside down and dying when all I wanted to do is dash across a simple vent
- Can be a bit frustrating and hard to progress through some of the levels especially considering how difficult the chicken can be to control and maneuver through some of the obstacles.

You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry. You agree to get him dinner. You open up to the kids menu, your child is far to young for adult food. Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don’t understand. Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry. Your mind strains, searching for an answer in a world of sweer potato and french fried. You try to order the chicken nugger, but you cannot. The words cannot escape your lips. Your son is hungry, he complains. The waitress stares at you, her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging french fried. Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child. In your mind you scream. It is raining sweer potato now, you have french fried engraved on your left temple and you do not understand. Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving. Starving for the chicken nugger.

This game have allot to offer, for beeing in development its really polish.
Some levels are unblance and should be later or earlier in the game since i could clear an early map with in a few secound and an other one took me 15min.
They give clear instructions on how to play the game and flipp and change add allot to the game.
I would love to see a Map/Level Editor or Mod support to add more replay value.
The humor in this game is priceless and the cock fights are allot fun with friends, wish there was online support since some of my friends don't live close.

I really enjoyed Chicku it's absolutely the best time killing cock slaughter game ever. Just forget about your family because all you will care about is to complete that hard map and enjoy the blood splatter.
Best cock game ever 10/10

Chicken Nugget Simulator 10/10
This game pretty much gives you look at how cruel the life of Jesus (if his soul was trapped inside a chicken) can be if he would be used as a resource to produce chicken nuggets.
***Pros***
Challenging levels
Suited for speedruns
Multiplayer
Difficult controls, when mastered can do some really cool stunts
Hats! (very few options to choose from though, hoping to see more in the future)
Variety of different hazards (traps, enemies etc)
Ability to poop eggs
Did I mention that you can poop unlimited amounts of eggs?
... Also you can poop on your friends (in-game) :D
***Cons***
Some of the trap patterns are too difficult to read that it is almost impossible to figure out a way to get past them. When encountering these, most of the time you just have to pray to Jesus (not chicken Jesus) that you'll get through alive.
Maybe the biggest con of the cons: No option to play online with friends

Chicku's influences are clear: Flappy Birds, Angry Birds, Super Meat Boy... even the film Chicken Run. The result is a simple, amusing game that's charming enough to keep you playing for a good session or two.
The selling point of the game is the simple but annoying control system, based on rotating your chicken around 360 degrees, and tapping a button to flap in that direction. There's also a button that freezes you for a second, then fires you in the chosen direction, taking you safety past obstacles such as blowy pipes.
These controls result in genuinely funny (and gory) moments of chaos, and while you do get better with practice, the fact your chicken is so prone to gravity means you're never far from death.
Gameplay highlights video:
Chicku's campaign mode consists of LOADS of short, spiky levels. Almost too many - the game spreads itself quite thin and you might be waiting quite a while before something genuinely new turns up. But the levels are so short (some can be completed in a couple of seconds) that it's got a great sense of pace, urging you onwards.
Most levels are just "get to the end", but occasionally you'll need to collect stuff over the course of as many lives as you need. For completists, each level has a one, two or three coin award depending on your best speed. The coins can currently be spent on randomly allocated hats.
There are more unlockables (that seem to come after a certain number of levels or coins, I wasn't entirely sure) that can be used to modify the game with crazy disco balls and the like.
The multiplayer versus mode, which I haven't tried yet, puts you in a choice of arenas of similar size to the campaign levels. A variety of weapons and tools spawn for you to collect and use to kill the other player. Time limits can be changed, silly modifiers (once unlocked) can mix things up.
So it's one of those games you jump in, get confused by for a few minutes, get into the spirit of it and blitz through half of it very quickly. Beyond that, it'll be worth a few more goes, plus waiting to see what is added over the course of early access. If you can sort out local multiplayer, the battle mode does look fun, although these days it's up against a LOT of arena games that offer more complexity.

Good fun, I do recommend it, the price is a tad on the steep side though. check out my video review below, or scroll a little further for review using bullet points!
Early Access, The reason the developers have advised this is going into early access is to get feedback for more polish and make it better.
Single player, with three zones and 40 levels per zone,Steam mentions 200 levels. So we may have a hidden zone upon completion, it has a nice amount of content just wish the price was lower.
Versus Co-op, a lot of laughs to be had across six different levels, modifiers picked up from the single campaign add alot of crazy gameplay mechanics.
Graphics, a really nice design, backed up a good quality graphics
Audio, nothing amazing here
Gameplay, a really unique input style, partnered with a crazy game concept. A real interesting little title.
