Love it, very satisfying poultry-punting game. Wish the camera would be more to the right of the chicken so I could see more of what's coming as opposed to what has already passed.

very fun game i like it a lot i am very glad you have upgrades because it added a lot of replayability beyond getting a high score. very nice ;

Pretty comfy game, I really liked the chill music.
It's amusing to just watching the chicken goooooooooo

this game was really good! i liked how it really incentivized you to smash on the s key but then had to time the k press correctly to actually hit the chicken, so using two fingers to smash became this really interesting timing game.

I sank way more time into this than I expected to. RNG can let the chicken get a massive head-start sometimes - my best attempt was one where the chicken hit ~6 bombs before it had even touched the ground.

Not really original, but a fun implementation of the theme and a really well done game overall.

One thing I noticed is that the game seems to eventually lock up - I can usually get about 5-10 minutes of gameplay out of it before the chicken apparently hits the ground the wrong way and the whole thing stops responding. You have to stop it from the task manager to get the music to stop playing.

It's a well done game! Very satisfying when you get a lucky shot, and the chicken flies sooo far..

I played this for like half an hour and I really shouldn't have. It's simple and not that innovative but the execution was good.

Fun! Hahaha, I reached 6299 in the 3rd try and didn't manage to get to it again. Very nice game! Art, physics, humor. Nice job!

This is great! Loved the graphics and the soundtrack, the camera handling made me quite satisfied too. :P

Gotta say I've become quite hooked on this. Great work!

Seems like it is mostly chance based, but it's still pretty thrilling when you hit a good run of bombs and the chicken just keeps going and going... I got to over 11000m one time!
