The gameplay is a simple, side-scrolling, high-score chase reminiscent of Flappy Bird, enhanced with additional mechanics and customization options. While many find it fun and addictive, some criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth, with a gameplay loop that can feel monotonous after a short time. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy arcade-style games but may not satisfy players seeking more complex experiences.
“Fun and addicting gameplay with lots of cosmetics to earn to customize your chicken. A fair warning though, after playing this game you may develop a new or stronger hatred for cantaloupe.”
“The whole gameplay loop involves flapping to grab chicks, going through gates that take a flat amount of them for extra score, and then increasing the amount needed for the next, and the next.”
“If you play games for arcade-like gameplay loops that you can replay over and over for the sake of shooting for high scores, then this game will be the best 4 dollars you've spent in a long while.”
“The whole gameplay loop is you flapping to grab chicks, going through gates that take a flat amount of them for extra score, and then increasing the amount needed for the next, and the next.”
“Em 20 minutos você já vai ter visto toda a gameplay do jogo, você pode ficar farmando pra ganhar skins e é isso.”
“Gameplay is boring, takes a while for there to actually be enough obstacles for it to be hard.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with a good soundtrack that enhances the experience, though some players find it repetitive and suggest it could benefit from more variety. While the dynamic gameplay music is appreciated, certain tracks, like the results screen song, are considered annoying and too short. Overall, the art style complements the music, but the absence of a main menu track feels like an oversight.
“The music is also pretty good, although it can be a bit repetitive at times.”
“As always, it has a great art style and a nice soundtrack.”
“On top of that, the music is quite a bop and super enjoyable.”
“So nobody will fault you for turning it off and playing your own music or audio.”
“I find the lack of music on the main menu very strange; it honestly seems like they forgot to add it in or something.”
“One of the main issues in the game is the music.”

“A fun spin on Flappy Bird with a few extra mechanics and some wonderful visuals from The Behemoth, definitely worth the price on a 25% off or greater sale.”
“It's an arcade-style game where your objective is to score as many points as possible by depositing chicks, traveling as far as possible, unlocking cosmetics via candy corns, etc. The small amount of sound design that is here is good and the art style is in the usual lovable Behemoth style.”
“As always, it has a great art style and a nice soundtrack.”
“The art style contains the usual Behemoth style.”
“The visuals are goofy and cute, but they lack depth and detail.”
