Fritter Away Some Happy Minutes
Frollicsome Two-Player Fun
Before Nathan's Second Chance, there was Chicken Chicken. Unlike Nathan's Second Chance (a carefully designed, one-player adventure that was developed part-time over the course of three years) Chicken Chicken is a two-player action game that was thrown together in under a week. You'll, ah, probably be able to tell.
Chicken Chicken was developed for the Pyweek game-in-a-week programming contest 2005, but until now, it has never had a web page to call its own.
That's all changing now! Please, download the game or look at some screenshots. Or, you know, go and play Nathan's Second Chance instead.
But How Do We Play?
It's pretty simple stuff once you get into it:
- Players sit on either side of the keyboard and each take a 'Shift' key
- Hold down your key to charge up the engine of your racer. You'll see the yellow bar get bigger as you charge up
- When you've both let go of your keys, the racers will zoom off with the charged up power
- The goal is to get as close to the edge of the cliff as possible, without falling off it
- Some levels have blocks you can bash into, or holes you can fall down. Good times for all!
That's it! Easy, eh?
Look out, though, because having been produced in a week means that there's some strange stuff going on. The blocks don't sit quite still, for instance. Oh, and there may be a bug. Or two. (But nothing that can actually harm your computer.)
