Drop the Chicken is effectively a puzzle game, the principle idea is to drop your chicken from a ledge and land him in his nest. The game is made up of nice cartoon style graphics, you can tell a lot of time has been spent on the look of Drop the Chicken.
Dropping a chicken into a nest probably doesn’t sound overly difficult but trust me it is. You are rewarded on how well you do for a particular level by the number of stars shown at the end. To get the top rating you need to have achieved 3 stars, very much like Angry Birds. There’s no doubt you could get one or 2 stars relatively easily but three stars is a lot harder to achieve. There are a number of items around the screen to help you achieve your objective such as trampolines, balloons, wooden planks etc. There are also things like bombs on the screen which I have found out chickens do not like at all! The idea is to move things around the screen and position them in such a way that allows you to achieve your goal.
Drop the Chicken is a real thinking mans game, the first few levels get you into the swing of things and just when you think you’ll breeze through it the puzzles get harder and you’ll really need to put your thinking cap on, especially if you want to get those 3 illusive stars.
There are 4 main areas in the game and each area has 15 levels and one bonus level, I can assure you that will be enough to keep you going for some time. It would also seem that the developers are due to add even more levels as there’s a coming soon screen which says ‘Stacks more awesome levels’.
Conclusion
If you’re into puzzle type games such as ‘Cut the Rope’ then I strongly advise you to take a look at Drop the Chicken. It’s a game you could quite easily sit and play for hours. The game works on both iPhone & iPad so a good one to play on your iPhone if sitting on the train. It would be great if the developers could offer a ‘Lite’ version of Drop the Chicken as it would offer potential buyers a good feel for the game before purchase, not only that but I personally think a ‘Lite’ version would translate well to sales. All in all Drop the Chicken is definitely worth a look.
