What players say
It's just as fun as the other games in the series, but the least interesting one to talk about since it's basically more Chicken Invaders 4 and nothing else. Still recommend if you enjoyed the previous games!

The best shoot 'em up ever made is a kid's game about eating space chickens. God really does have a sense of humor.
From someone who grew up playing Chicken invaders, really wish to see CI 6. I remember my childhood when at 1 point CI 1 and 2 were played by almost everyone in my extended family.
