Chicken Invaders

Before space was conquered by grim marines and terrifying aliens, it was ruled by poultry. Chicken Invaders (1999, InterAction Studios) asks one timeless question: what if chickens fought back? The answer is a bullet-storm of feathers, eggs, and unapologetic absurdity. It plays like Space Invaders but with a poultry-themed sense of humor. Destroying wave after wave of clucking foes feels oddly satisfying, though you may feel guilty next time you order fried chicken. The real joy is how the game never takes itself seriously—you’re basically humanity’s last hope, armed with a spaceship that doubles as a giant egg scrambler.

“Sometime in the near future, Earth is invaded by chickens from another galaxy, bent on revenge against the human race for oppressing earth chickens! Take the world's fate in your hands (or at least have an omelette) in this modern rendition of the 80's classic. Save the world today!” - InterAction Studios

Review by Game Hippo:

“Chicken Invaders is a high quality Galaxian/Space Invaders combo clone. However, it has several features not found in the original space invaders games. Your character's goal is to destroy the chicken army using his missiles and gradually improving weapon. Drumsticks and gift boxes strengthen your fighting capability. Unlike the original space invaders game, Chicken Invaders features high quality 3-d graphics, asteroid levels, and even bosses. It also includes a high score.“
