I only played level 1 because I already have Castle Crashers on Xbox
Reviews for "Chicken Chaser"
Great game, terrific art and good music. I think the game would be a lot more enjoyable if you could attack and move at the same time. And like many mention castle crasher already exist. This said good game overall enjoyable to play but yeah ..
"Rips off Castle Crashers"
Guess none of these fools ever played Golden Axe...OR ANY GAME LIKE IT...
Good job over all but those whole stopping while trying to run got troublesome very quick especially against the boss. Tentacle comes up slaps my shit and then NOPE you aint moving out the way sorry. That does need some fixing as it kills you many times.

Good feedback! I did some changes to fix this problem. You can get the new version by refreshing.
A punch-em-up that adds very little in the mechanics department. With only one weak and one strong attack, you'll either mash buttons until your enemies fall or find a combo that works for you and stick with it.
That being said, the levels and characters look fine and the later has quite a bit of variety considering the game's lenght. The soundtrack is great and very varied as well. The difficulty curve ramps up nicelly, save for the boss battle, mostly because you are never quite sure how big the projectiles he throws at you are.
There are two unsetling things about this game though. First, the blood. With the plot presented and the cuteness of both the enemies and the protagonist, the blood seems very out of place, even if it does look like strawberry jam. The other unsetling thing is the final fight, which is grotesque and changes the tone completelly.
I gave it a 3 because I'm not a huge fan of beat-em-ups, specially ones which do not to try to shake up the formula, plus the things I mentioned on the previous paragraph. But if you're ok with either, you'll be pleased to know this game is functional and entertaining for its lenght.
It plays just like any other 2D brawler, I enjoyed the graphics and choice of music. I did find the mechanics of the game were a little off, I had issue's with my controls looking up at times and my character would freeze (rather irritating during a boss fight). If you could come up with some more diversified attacks for both the enemies and characters I think I would've enjoyed it more. Maybe a bomb feature or something? Also a shop for leveling up and different weapons would've been great. I'll give it a 3/5.
