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.”
