What players say
This is one of those games that actually stays in your mind after you stop playing. The gameplay is fun, the atmosphere is incredibly well done, and the whole experience feels genuinely memorable. There are definitely a few things that could be improved, but they don't take away from how enjoyable the game is overall. I'm really glad I played it.

i will be honest with everyone, chicken invaders 4 was the greatest opposite of a difficulty spike in the franchise's entire existence. the mere addition of secondary weapons (AKA: satelites) and the fact you can use the barbecuer to destroy enemy projectiles is beyond me. not to mention the introduction of different screen sizes which would make the crammed bosses in the previous game feel like absolute lightwork...
This one is also a lot of fun! There doesn't exist such a thing as a bad Chicken Invaders, an easy recommendation. ^^
