This is Chicken Invaders 5 dressed up in Christmas motifs. If you already have CI5, be advised, this is exactly the same game except for the Christmas themes (chickens disguised as gingerbread men, Christmas music etc).
The starship Henterprise, piloted by chickens, is blocking out the earth's sun with feathers, and your job as hero is to shoot and destroy the chickens, and collect as much food (chicken legs, burgers, whole roast chickens) as you can while avoiding the eggs that they rain down on you. As you go through the levels, you will collect different weapons and missiles. At the end of each section you do battle with a boss chicken.The Chicken Invader games are fun and quirky if you like a good shoot'em-up. I've never quite understood the dashboard screen but I'm happy just to fire off whatever weapon they give me!. Show less

I recommend this game!

Those Chickens are at it again and this time they have Gingerbread men to help! This game is a chicken blasting hoot, and is so addicting you just can't stop playing. Just like the days of space invaders, you are tasked with blasting chickens from outer space, only the graphics are way better than the old arcade games of yesteryear.

You must defend your planet from space invaders, which in this case are vicious and relentless Chickens! The Chicken invaders have unique weapons and defenses, the hens lay eggs that will completely obliterate your spaceship should you take a direct hit or even if you mistakenly broadside a falling egg. When you blast the full grown chickens, they will reward you with delicious chicken legs and even whole roasted chickens, which can only be collected when your spaceship runs over them, which isn't always easy when the egg bombs are everywhere! There are also keys to collect, burgers, presents and weapon upgrades to snag. There are several achievements available and a high score leader board that will list all of your top scores (and the scores of other players on your computer)

The options are vast, starting with the fact that you can choose the method you want to use to control your spaceship and weapons, your keyboard, your mouse, and even touchscreens! The best feature in my opinion, is that you get to customize your spaceship with the keys you collect during the game, as well as backgrounds from previous versions. For starters, you will choose the base color of the spaceship, the color of the cockpit, and the color of the engine flames both inner and outer. There are several colors and shades to choose from and you will unlock paint options for the fuselage, the weapons pod, the tail wing, and even the density and shininess of the spaceship!

In my opinion, this is a very addicting game that would be awesome on your phone as well. The graphics have come a long way since the days of Space Invaders, not to mention the fact that the mouse has greatly improved our ability to control the spaceship. Give it a try, but be warned, you're gonna get hooked on this comical chicken invading game, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

You will like this game. You will, however, see that the levels are exactly the same game-play wise as other versions of the game. The key differences are the change and "Christmas-izing" of the chickens. Small chicks from previous games are now little gingerbread men. Instead of the large pieces of corn blowing up and creating popcorn, you now have a weird candy-cane type center in a corn husk that blows up into Christmas colored candy corn. Stuff like that. If you're looking for something totally new, you won't get it here. If you've never played and like this type of arcade shooter game, you will likely LOVE it. Show less

I recommend this game!
