Parody the largest sci-fi franchises
The game has made great use of humor since its birth, which is also clearly seen in the tribute to large sci-fi franchises that can be found throughout the game. In addition to the aforementioned Space Invaders, Chicken Invaders also parody the arcade game Galaxian, as well as the film franchises Star Wars and Star Trek. The Star Wars references are clearly seen in the game's introduction, which is seen below.
However, the clear reference to Star Wars' rolling opening text cuts into a wild reference to the game's plot on the chicken invasion. References, parodies and humorous tributes like these are seen throughout the game, providing additional entertainment for the already fun game. The Star Wars references are also seen among other things in the following game titles. In 2006, Chicken Invaders published: Revenge of the Yolk, which of course is a clear reference to Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, while in 2014 they also released Chicken Invaders: Cluck of the Dark Side, which is also a reference to Star Wars the universe and the Dark Side. Besides these two games, at the time of writing there are also Chicken Invaders: The Next Wave from 2002, Chicken Invaders: Ultimate Omelette from 2010, and Chicken Invaders: Universe from 2018.
The game's plot
Chickens have been suppressed, grilled, cooked and eaten by humans for centuries, but now they are rebelling. Therefore, they invade the earth for revenge on humanity. Here you have been selected to save the earth and ensure humanity the right to omelettes and chicken meat. The way you control your spaceship is classic and straightforward. You control the spaceship's movements with the arrow keys and shoot at the spacebar. The game features an infinite number of levels and you can never run out of entertainment with this game. Each level contains 10 waves of chickens to be defeated before you meet this levels boss. Thus, the game is as much about achieving the highest high score as you know it from the classic arcade games.
Missiles and asteroids
The chickens lose eggs that you must avoid. If you are hit by an egg, you lose a life. When you shoot the chickens, pieces of meat fall down that you can collect. With enough of these you get a missile.
The missile can be fired, after which it explodes and eradicates all enemies on the screen. You can choose whether you want to use your missile as soon as you earn it, or if you want to save it to a boss level, for example. You can easily have several missiles stored at the same time, which can be useful longer in the game, where the difficulty increases. However, chickens are not the only thing you can meet in the different waves. Some waves instead contain flaming asteroids that you must avoid.
As with the eggs you also lose a life here if you collide with an asteroid. You can both direct your spaceship around the asteroids and shoot them so that they are rendered harmless.
Play with a friend
The game is really entertaining to play alone, but if you want to play with a friend, this is also possible. Thus, the two are together against the chickens, which makes it easier to eradicate the enemies, but at the same time it also means that in suddenly, two are to avoid eggs and asteroids.
